    zugzwang: in chess, the obligation to move, when any move at all will be bad

     

    "A game of chess, Detective. I assume you know how to play. You win, and you and your family may leave freely. win, and you take your place as my heir and I dispose of the others as I see fit."

    Tim stopped breathing.

    Ra's spread his hands, still smiling that condescending crocodile grin. "Our skills are evenly matched. The challenge is more than fair."

     

    All a game, just win. All a game, just win. Just win, just win, win, win...

     

    Keep your head.

    Summary

    A random villain-of-the-week makes Robert late for work. It's only by a few minutes, yet the encounter that hardly lasted a few seconds instills a sudden chill in Robert's bones. Its persistence is matched only by the Z-Team's stubbornness as they force their dispatcher to join them in activities they think will warm him up.

    But none of it matters if Robert can't learn to believe he'll ever be warm again... or that he deserves the warmth this team brings him.
