    Summary

    There are no windows in the Skydome’s cramped detention room so nobody gets the moment that Jay’s nose starts bleeding, dripping heavily into his lap. His hands are still cuffed behind his back. He tries to wipe the blood off on his shoulder and succeeds in smearing it across his lips, over his left cheek. It keeps dripping like a leaky faucet.

    Summary

    He takes a long, slow breath. Ignores the glares from the other students. “Superboy,” he murmurs. “It’s me. If you’re listening, I could use some help.”

    Or: 5 times Superboy saves Tim Drake, and one time Tim Drake saves Superboy.

    Summary

    Erin Hunnicutt spends the summer in Seattle with her dad and the old war buddies she didn't know he had.

    “My mom said we met when I was younger,” Erin said. She was still holding her green bag, standing stiffly in the middle of the living room. “Have you and my dad been friends for a long time?”

    “Let’s see…we met in ‘52 That’d be 15 years now. I guess when you put it like that it just makes me sound old,” Hawkeye said.

    Erin didn’t think he looked any older than her father. She’d always thought her father looked old, that there were lines in his face that weren’t in the faces of her friends’ fathers. She’d seen photos of him just before she was born. He looked young in those pictures. There was a childlike quality to his smile.

    “You met my dad during the war,” Erin said.

    Hawkeye smiled at her, and then tilted his head to one side, curiously. “He really didn’t tell you a thing about me, did he?” he said.

    “My dad doesn’t tell me anything,” Erin said.

    Hawkeye rolled his eyes. “Well, that makes two of us,” he said. “Your dad, I mean, not my dad. My dad calls me to tell me what he had for lunch.”

    Summary

    "Why didn't you stop him?!" Margaret's tone is so frantic that BJ almost has trouble understanding her.

     

    "What?"

     

    "Why didn't you stop h-"

     

    "Margaret, I got that the first time, but I don't understand what you're-"

     

    "Hawkeye," Margaret snaps down the line, and a sickening feeling of foreboding washes over BJ.

    Summary

    Grantaire's voice curls as though he’s laughing at a private joke. “You seem… alive?”

    “Why wouldn’t I be?” Enjolras asks. When Grantaire doesn’t answer, just shrugs, Enjolras finds himself pressing, “Why wouldn’t I be alive?”

    Grantaire looks at him directly for the first time. There’s no warmth in his expression, no amusement or affection, nothing Enjolras is used to seeing there. “Why would you be? It’s been four years, dude.”
