“Jonny Hale.”

“Beth Harmon. It’s a pleasure.”
OR: During the French Open in Marseilles Beth unfortunately meets a chess player, who is more than just a sore loser - he is a dangerous asshole as well.

Summary
There is something extremely humiliating about being taken hostage on your first trip home from college.
Maybe he had grown complacent in his months away, the FBI training and the relentless studying making him soft in the face of the danger his hometown presented… but, no, Stiles had had his knife with him, and he’d been covered in protective spells and amulets. He’d been prepared for the worst the supernatural world could throw at him (at least the part of the supernatural world Stiles didn’t want to hug and never let go off), so, of course, he’d been kidnapped by an old colleague of his father’s, who wanted to enact some sort of revenge on his old man.
Oh, man… his luck was really the worst, wasn’t it?
OR: Stiles gets taken hostage on his first trip home from college - luckily, he has a pack that's always ready to save him.

Death was only rarely Ivy’s goal – no, she wanted to destroy humanity, prove the base-nature of people to be violence and sex. She didn’t care for straight up death, unless it was the head of an oil company.
OR: When Dick gets hit by Ivy's pollen, he knows he's in for a bad night - what he hasn't counted on, however, is the trip down memory lane Ivy forced him on.

Summary
It was disconcerting to see Bruce as powerless as this. Jason had this image in his head, of Batman – of Bruce Wayne – as this indestructible figure. It was hard not to see Bruce that way, when so often in Jason’s youth the mission had come first. Bruce had constructed so much of his personality to fit Batman, it was easy to forget that beneath the glower and the grunts was… someone human. Looking at the blood dripping down onto the stone floor from a cut on Bruce’s cheek, Jason couldn’t forget just how human Bruce truly was.
They could die down here.
OR: The Benefactor captures Jason and Bruce - in the face of Bruce's imminent death, Jason realizes some things.

It was a tragedy, really, only Margaret felt vindicated.
Yes, maybe she hadn’t been allowed to go to college, and maybe Jean kept her awake even if she wanted nothing more than to drink and sleep, but at least Beth hadn’t gotten her dream life either.

Well, that wasn’t entirely true. The seat itself was shredded to pieces, the marks starting human before they turned into something decidedly claw-like.
Malia’s side of the jeep was crushed even worse than Stiles was, and for a moment his heart stopped. What if she was dead? What if- what if Stiles had accidentally killed her?
OR: On their way back from a date, Stiles and Malia end up in a car accident - unable to free themselves, they have to wait for help to get to them.

Summary
There was a bee sitting on the windowpane. Or maybe it was a wasp.
Gansey couldn’t really tell. He tried not to look at it. Just sometimes, when he glanced over at Adam scribbling furious notes, or Ronan ignoring schoolwork in favor of antagonizing their teacher (Mrs. Wellington, the history substitute), he could catch a glimpse of yellow in the corner of his eye.
When he turned around the bee was gone. The window was empty of flying death, only spring roses and old buildings visible through the glass.
OR: They are in class, when Gansey notices the wasp.

Summary
The teachers at Methuen had been rather vague in their lessons on human anatomy but Beth had accumulated a fairly big collection of Cosmopolitan and Vogue issues that taught her a thing or two about her own body. The first signs of a pregnancy were among those things.
It would make sense, some part of her mind whispered. She and Benny had played the Las Vegas Open two months ago, and the city always made them a bit crazy.

It started with a sore throat.

Summary
Dick woke up underground – no, he woke up under water.
He was in a glass container, the walls see-through. The murky water surrounding him told him he was somewhere in Gotham’s dirty and polluted harbor. The box he was in wasn’t very big. The Riddler hadn’t gone through the trouble of tying Dick up – and why would he? Dick could barely move a foot in any direction, his knees folded beneath him, his elbows pressed against his chest. From what he could see… the entire box was bolted shut. There was no lock Dick could break, no hinge he could force open.
OR: The Riddler managed to catch Dick and trap him underwater - now it is up to Bruce to race against time and save his son.
