Summary
They stared at each other; the Batman’s black cowl obscuring the sweat that dripped from his forehead, drenching him in a silent cold dread, and the man with his awkward gait stepping to the side, nearer and closer, his hands fumbling over the rifle in realization of his clear advantage. He reloaded his weapon in a series of clumsy clicks, his eyes darting from the metal in his hands to the man who clung to the metal below him, dangling above the impending watery wreckage of Gotham.
Even with his glasses, he could not see beyond the suit of Batman.
He needed the mask: the freedom from the chains and expectations of the manor, the vengeance it allowed in the twilight, the wall it erected between the mask and Selina Kyle, preventing her from drawing too near.
Laying on the catwalk, the mask suffocated him. He needed to breathe.

Summary
“Dinosaurs didn’t speak, Ilya, they-”
“We can do this later, Hollander. Right now, we’re here to kill him, no?”
“What!?”
“Ah, yes,” Rozanov actually looked a little sheepish, but then, “We are here to kill you. I did not mention that?”
“No!"

Summary
Gideon, of course, would have known Wake by the curl of her iliac crest, the line of her zygomatic bone, the slight arch of her metacarpals. Gideon would have known her in a heartbeat, spotted her as easily in death as in life, read her in a language where he claimed fluency. Gideon could have named her off a shard of femur by the thanergetic signature. Gideon was dead, and he wasn’t going to know her any longer.

Summary
“Earth word is depression. It means sad mood that doesn’t go away easily. It’s caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain.”
Rocky makes a frustrated little noise. “How fix, question?”
“I don’t know,” I say, and Rocky deflates a little. “Good chemicals.”
And that’s when I get a really stupid idea.

Summary
Pyrrha looked at Camilla with a question in her eyes, got some unspoken response, and added: “Also, I resent the implication that we're not already a real family. We have an absent father, somewhere between one to three kids, and are all fucked up to hell. What else do you need, the picket fence?”
“Well,” Nona said, looking mournfully at the sniper blinds, “it would be nice.”
On New Rho, public perception forces Nona's household to make their ambiguous bonds a little less ambiguous. Or: Pyrrha and Camilla get fake married.
