Summary
A love letter to Gotham’s background crowds, panel fillers, damsels in distress, 9-to-5-ers, night shift workers, window washers, gym rats, subway conductors, lawyers, Bat Burger line cooks, doctors, middle school students, parishioners, pensioners, pedestrians, unionized henchmen, electricians, loansharks (sometimes literal), college dropouts, band groupies, stay-at-home dads, nannies, finance bros, and future Boy Wonders -- all nine million, four hundred sixty-seven thousand, nine hundred and four of them in the Gotham City metropolitan area.
or: why the fuck do people live here.

Summary
“I do not understand,” Damian insists, and Talia purses her lips at his dogged persistence, even as she strokes a hand through his hair. “He still keeps a picture of you in his nightstand, you know.”
“You should certainly not be rooting around your father’s nightstand,” Talia admonishes gently.

Aside from that, he thinks mother and Grayson are quite alike. Though, he’s increasingly unsure if that observation is grounded in reality, or if he just misses mother more than he ever thought possible. More than he ever thought he would have to.

Summary
"Hey, Uraraka!" Kirishima called, lifting the fingers of one hand in a tiny wave, "Come float this bag for Bakugou!"
"Hand it over," Uraraka said. Then she shoved the rest of her protein bar into her mouth.
Kirishima dropped the strap off of his shoulder, grabbed a handful of the bag's cloth and held it out. Uraraka took it. Then she ran for the front door.
"Uraraka," Tsu croaked, one finger on her chin, "Where are you going?"
"Finders keepers!" Uraraka huffed, kicking her slippers off in the genkan. Then she snatched her shoes from the rack and ran outside.

Summary
"We have a case." The words settled heavily over the table. "We're off to New York." Lia's gaze snapped back to Michael -- and she wasn't the only one. Around the table, attention shifted in quiet unison as the implication landed.
New York. His hometown. Understanding clicked into place.
That was why he'd come in with Briggs and Sterling.
"More details to come on the plane," Briggs continued smoothly. "Get packing."Or: A case leads the team back to Michael's hometown.
