Summary
“So,” Red Hood says, lying on his back on the rooftop and breathing heavily, his helmet discarded next to him. It’s hard to tell if he’s panting due to exertion from their fight or if it’s still a reaction to Chessmaster’s dirtier moves. He really should learn to wear a cup. “What position do I qualify for, anyway? And if you say fuckin’ pawn—”
Chessmaster turns to him, heart beating faster as he studies his face. He has the same crooked grin he always wore as Robin, and it makes Chessmaster yearn for something he gave up for lost years ago. “Please be my queen,” he blurts out. To hell with waiting.
“Wha…?” Red Hood looks very confused, but he doesn’t seem like he’s against the idea.
Excellent. Chessmaster can work with that.

Summary
Tim blinks away tears as he strokes one of the yellow and red flowers, eyes widening as it rotates on its stem to follow his hand. “Gloriosa superba,” he murmurs. “Poisonous in every part of the plant.”
“You know your plants,” a smooth, low voice says from behind him.
He turns, hand still poised next to the flower, and blinks up at Pamela Isley.

Summary
“Damn, guess we fell asleep.” The loud voice right above his head makes Stray jerk upright, and he winces and lets out a soft yelp as the back of his head slams into something. “Ow, fuck!”
Stray sits up more carefully, hands flying up to check his goggles and cowl are still in place, before twisting to see what he’s been sleeping on. It’s Robin, blushing, hands raised to clutch at his nose. They stare at each other for a long moment.
Stray notes the lightening of the sky to the east that means they’ve been at this stakeout for hours and he finally registers what happened. “Oh my god, we slept together!” he blurts out.
“Holy shit, don’t say it like that!” Robin tries to scowl, then winces. “I think my nose is bleeding.”

Summary
Tim rides his bike, his small legs aching and his breath a ragged gasp by the time he reaches Gotham City proper. His legs shake and his heart slams as he steps off his bike, adrenaline shooting through him as he sees the dark buildings looming overhead and seriously questions whether or not this was a good idea.
Then the screaming starts. It’s distant, accompanied by the sounds of explosions and a loud voice declaring some villain or other as the new ruler of Gotham, but Tim doesn’t care about any of that.
He creeps closer, keeping to the shadows and hugging the side of the nearest building despite the grime which rubs off on his small white hands and the rough brick that catches and tears at his soft clothes. The screaming grows louder.
Tim closes his eyes and remembers. It hurts, but it feels good.
He can’t stop poking at it.
