Summary
This was my original draft for Chapter 6. After I rewatched the movie I realized that Adam specifically mentions shunning human society until the events of the movie, which makes all of this non-canon. I decided to go with a rewrite for Healing Touch, but I'm quite proud of some the writing, so I thought I would post this original version as a bonus!

Summary
He’d flinched when she touched him. Terra didn’t think much of it at the time, too busy with trying to wrap her head around the unbelievable story Adam had told her while while she sutured his shoulder. But later, after the final battle, when she had finally returned to her apartment and collapsed, the images of the past few days swirled through her unconscious brain. When she woke it was with the fading feeling of his muscles twitching under her touch, and his body turning away from her. Terra thought about it over the next few days, trying to think back and remember if he reacted that way to everyone, or if it was just her. The results of this introspection were disturbing. Terra realized that apart from that one instance, no one had touched Adam in her presence except with the intention to harm, and given the circumstances, she didn’t think it likely that it happened any other time. Terra found this unbearably painful.

Summary
“Why are you even here?” Jason asked, finally. “You look like you should still be in bed.”
“It’s my house,” Tim pointed out, reasonably enough. “Why are you here?”
Or: Jason needs to apologize for what he did to Tim at Titans Tower. It goes both much worse and much better than he was anticipating.
(Part of a series, but can easily be read independently.)

Summary
It turns out, none of Bruce's kids are “too old” to come to him when they're having a bad night. Sometimes those bad nights overlap.
That's not always a bad thing, in the end.
