Summary
“Well, the rest of it should be pretty simple. Just duct tape and aluminum foil.” Dr. Grace smiles, a little lopsided. His glasses have slipped farther down his nose. “Maybe some safety glasses.”
“I’m sure we can arrange that.” Carl’s a little breathless, and Dr. Grace smiles wider.
Carl wants to make him happy, he realizes. Wants to see him smile and pump his fist in the air again after some new discovery. For the project, he tells himself. Just because he’ll make progress on the project.
They glance at each other, and Dr. Grace’s cheeks flush, but he doesn’t look away. He doesn’t look away, and Carl’s heart lifts, and for fifteen minutes they’re on top of the world. They buy safety glasses and throw bags and bags of sour skittles in their cart and on the drive back to the hangar, Carl feels more hopeful than he has in a long time.
(He knows it’s worthless. He knows it’s a bad impulse, that this will just lead to even more pain, just like everyone else who’s joined and left the project at the drop of a hat. He does it anyway.)

How can I protect you when I don't feel alright? by Phantomxlegend

Summary
Clark was used to making split-second decisions. An incoming collision or a man about to hit a woman on the street? Which one was more important for him to step in? He had gotten good at deciding those things with just barely a second to spare.
But now he was deciding to do nothing.
He was doing absolutely nothing.
The guilt gnawed away at Clark’s inside so sharply he felt sick. Clark let out the faintest whimper and curled in on himself more. Maybe if he hid from everything, he could hide from the self-loathing too.

Clark is burnt out

Summary
"Really, it didn’t matter. He might’ve gotten his memories back. He might’ve saved his planet. But he still didn't know who he was. Because who are you without the people in your life?
Who are you if you mean nothing to everybody else?"
Or, Grace reevaluates his recovered memories on his way to Erid. Rocky helps shoo the sad away.

Summary
“Fine, fine.” He flings himself dramatically onto his chair. “He insulted a woman with very bad and vulgar language.”
“Yes, I gathered that. What did he say?” Her eyes bore into him. He feels a shiver go down his spine.
“Eva, please.” He keeps his eyes trained on her desk. He doesn’t want to do this. It made his ears bleed when he first heard the words, he doesn’t want to repeat them. But! He can paraphrase.

Dr. Ryland Grace is not the type of man who jumps over a table and punches someone, right?

Summary
“There was a video of my parents that they sent with me. They said they wanted me to take over Earth. Is that–does that sound right?”
To his surprise, Kara burst out laughing.
~
It was very rude of Kara not to mention earlier that his parents were actually maniacs.
