Summary
James doesn’t understand what’s happening.
After the incident by the Black Lake, his red-haired angel had finally managed to break free from that sullen, greasy snake. He ought to have been relieved—yet he can’t stop paying attention to one thing:
That Slytherin… has changed.
The boy who always hunched over, who kept himself tucked into shadows as if he didn’t quite belong—now walks with a straight back, his former unease replaced by a sharp, steady focus. He ignores every gaze on him, striding down the corridors with quick, decisive steps, the hem of his robes sweeping behind him in dark, wave-like ripples.
Once, James even caught Snape standing by a window, watching a group of younger students roughhousing in the hall with a cold, assessing stare—as if he might deduct points any second, as if he had the authority to do that.
James can’t make sense of it.

Summary
Number Five Hargreeves traveled through time and arrived in 2019, racing against the clock to stop an apocalypse he didn’t fully understand. He barely had time to breathe before jumping again — this time with his siblings — landing in Dallas, in the year 1963. Once again, time was his enemy.
But when the jump in Dallas goes wrong, Five wakes up in a place he doesn’t recognize — a world completely unknown to him. He finds himself alone in Gotham City. No siblings. No apocalypse. His powers are still there, but drained, leaving him no choice but to pose as just another lost orphan.
Stuck in an orphanage he despises and trying to figure out how he ended up there, Five doesn’t go unnoticed. His strange presence catches the eye of the Dark Knight — leading to an unexpected encounter with Bruce Wayne.
Bruce is strange. Mysterious. And for some reason, he sees something in Five no one else does. He offers him something Five never expected: a new chance.
A choice.
A family.
