    Summary

    “An ice cream truck parked at the curb serves a little boy with dark hair a cone of strawberry ice cream. He slides a few dollars over the counter on his tiptoes and scampers off, not a parent in sight.

    He looks like David, Vanessa thinks, but she’s never heard that name before.

    Vanessa looks at Gregory and orders herself an ice cream cone. She gets him a popsicle that looks like Fredbear. He loves that bear.

    One of the gum-ball eyes is lower than the other and the smile looks more like a grimace. Wordlessly, she hands it to Gregory. He doesn’t look it, just inspects it suspiciously like a puzzle he can’t solve.

    Vanessa pays and starts walking to her the house.

    ’I know this one,’ Gregory says, squinting at the popsicle. Peering down at Freddy in the duffle bag, he asks, ‘Were you ever yellow?’”

     

    Or:

    Vanessa is going to put things back together. Somehow.

    Summary

    He clears his throat. Annabeth’s face burns as she realizes she’s been ogling him for likely an entire minute. She lets out a squeak before she turns around, gluing her eyes back to the photos on his wall. Something safe to look at.
    “You’re allowed to look,” he says. He sounds amused, like he’s teasing her.
    “No, I’m pretty sure I’m not.” Her voice is an octave higher than usual. He lets out a laugh. She does not let her gaze stray from the wall.

    //

    Annabeth and Percy have been dating for about a week. Annabeth has absolutely no clue what she's doing.

    Summary

    Instead of threatening her infant son with the boogeyman, Janet Drake tells Tim that Batman is going to come for him if he doesn't behave. Years later, Tim realises that if he wants a fast way to get adopted, all he has to do is commit a crime so that Batman will take him away.

    Years later still, Tim knows that no one is coming for him, but that doesn't make him any less scared. It also doesn't make him any less interested in Batman and his Robins.
