Summary
“Hi, Flounder!” Dick's trainer said brightly, and Dick made a sort of clicking sound in response. When it was him and his pod, they communicated with a variety of sounds that made up their language, which was just as good as whatever they were speaking. Clicks, whistles, vocalizations, whatever. It didn't matter here, alone in this tank.
You look like a half-dead lionfish, Dick said. It was a bit lengthy, but oh well.
“Isn’t he precious? Mr. Wayne, we’re just so glad to have you."Bruce hadn't been sure there was a case here to be solved at all, but a person and two mer were dead, with rumours of misconduct and prior violations swirling around the park, so he'd used Brucie to get as close as he could to the best source of information–the other trainers in the park. Then he'd seen the furious grief and intelligence in the eyes of the surviving mer and realized there was a case–just not the one anyone else was seeing.

Bookmarker's Notes
Strapping the goggles and mask on, he gave the all-clear and hopped into the water. It was practically frothing with bubbles, and if the situation were less serious he might have made a joke about Finding Nemo and a bubble volcano, but as it stood he could barely see a thing and his anxiety was sky high.
Studying mers for upwards of a decade had given him a healthy respect for how dangerous they were when humans threatened their territory, let alone when they were brooding with a grudge. He wanted what was best for Big Red, and he was absolutely certain that Red did not know that yet. He’d feel a lot better about all this if they could actually see the mer, but with how frothy the water was, Tim could barely see two feet in front of him.
He had a desperate, fleeting hope that he wasn't about to be murdered, but the shifting shadows around him weren't very promising.

Summary
The valet opens the door as he places a ticket under the windshield, a hot breeze lazily snaking its way into the backseat. Then, he climbs out and shuts the door behind him, and the air falls as still as a crumpled quilt.
He doesn’t so much as glance at the backseat window as he walks away, leaving Tim alone to wait.
And that’s… that’s probably fine! His parents did say that going to a gala with them was something for big kids to do, and he already knows big kids are supposed to be able to be able to be apart from their parents without throwing a fit, so maybe this is why. Maybe waiting like this is part of every grown-up event, and that’s why he needed to be a big boy before he could come with them.
So yes. He can be a big boy. He can wait, alone.
It’s even kind of exciting! He’s not sure he’s ever been completely alone, without even a nanny nearby.
He just… well, he wishes they could have left the AC on while he waits.

Summary
"I was thinking," Jim replied, letting his voice carry his amusement.
Blair shifted a little - knowing that tone didn't bode well for the future, "You get to observe me at home and at work all the time. I was thinking that turn about is fair play. You go to the Uni and whatever you'd do if you weren't at the station and I'll observe you."

Summary
"Help," Loki says, his voice completely flat, "I've fallen and I can't get up."
"Did you just," Stark begins, staring over at him with some sort of horror. He's standing in the kitchen, cradling what appears to be a gallon of coffee close to his chest as if to protect it from Loki's villainy. "No! No, no, no! You aren't allowed to make jokes that I would make! You're evil! Be silent and brooding!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, is my existence bothering you?"
"Yes," Stark says, "there are actually few things right now that bother me as much as you do."
OR: in between the "puny god" scene and his sentencing on Asgard, Loki gets caught in a time loop. He'd his refund now, please.
(Odin is a shitty parent, the Avengers are confused, Loki is just trying not to go even more insane than he already is, and the author is starting to wonder why she has so much dialogue from these movies memorized.)
