Summary
“Has Robin always been this, uh…” There’s a pause that grows heavier the longer it lingers. “Stoic?”
Superboy sighs. “I dunno. Maybe? I only ever teamed up with him like, twice before the whole ‘Kidworld’ thing, but that was before Superman came back, so there’s a pretty big gap in between.”
“I could be wrong, but…” Bart sounds uncharacteristically hesitant, like each word is being slowly pulled out of him. “I think something might have happened to him. Something bad.”
(Five rooftop encounters between the third Robin and a Kryptonian, and one that happens deep underground.)

Summary
"Hurry," says Impa, ancient and anxious.
"Hurry," says the ghost of a woman you've mostly forgotten.
The Master Sword burns in your hands as you pull, knees trembling and sweat slick between your shoulder blades.
(People keep telling you who you are, the hero you're destined to be. Eventually, you're going to prove them wrong.)

Summary
The bond company sees the SecUnit’s sentience as a selling point, not an ethical quandary. Dr. Mensah believes that it is a person before she ever lays eyes on it. Meeting that person and folding them into their lives requires a lot of hard discussions and complicated preparations. Only some of this was covered in the rental documents.

Summary
Episode 224 of The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon features a controversial B-plot and a metaphorically complicated group sex scene, so SecUnit is a little less distracted while Dr. Arada and Prof. Bharadwaj conduct their crater survey.
Later, Dr. Rhatti will call some of this planet’s fauna monsters, noting how one specimen quote “chewed SecUnit completely in half.”

Summary
Crowley drifts through the cottage, idly gathering stray cups and wine glasses with the intent to wash them only to abandon the task halfway through. Two months ago, the sight of their kitchen in such a state would make him want to scream. It makes him want to scream now, of course, but that’s hardly the kitchen’s fault, is it? Not when literally everything makes him want to bury his claws deep into his own face and scream until he can’t scream anymore.
(It's some number of days after they quit counting the days in quarantine. There's a flaming sword of thorns where Crowley's spine should be.)

Summary
It's still the same primitive idea; it's still a countdown for when he is of legal age. It's still a bunch of numbers going down by days, hours, minutes, seconds.
It goes from 30 days, 1 hour, 8 minutes, 50 seconds. It doesn't stop, the screen ticks down, a trainwreck he can't help but watch.
He blinks.
There are 29 days left.
Tim’s heart feels caved in.

Summary
"The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can never come to any good."Tim was used to life trying to knock him down. He just wasn’t used to it succeeding.
