Summary
“Is it hard being a psychic?”
It's an odd question— one that admittedly catches the pink-haired boy off guard— but he doesn't hesitate to respond.
"Good grief… of course it is. There's always something to fix, or somebody to save. But I'm used to it."
The rabbit steps closer, eyeing him. “Is that why you look so unhappy?”
—
In which Saiki befriends a baby rabbit, toils with his sense of humanity, and continues to push people away.

Summary
An epilogue following the true end, in which Sunny remembers how to be a real person & his friends grapple with the truth. No ships in particular but arguably also all ships, since Sunny has a lot of Big Feelings about his friends.
###
Then everything is different and the same.
The water comes out of the taps differently, in thin little lines that prick too-hard at his skin. Sunny imagines that they’re the first wave of an ongoing invasion, the stinging tendrils of a far larger hivemind. And the Hive Mother is so, so old. To her, the whole of the Glittering Harbor is just another little flicker of light. Her foot soldiers advance and the skin on Sunny’s back falls away cleanly. She yawns and the city stands empty, apartments stiff and silent like toy soldiers. She blinks a thousand onyx eyes and the harbor’s boiled dry, the skyline only dust. A city for ghosts.
Also, the ceilings are higher. And Sunny can see the ocean from his bedroom window.
Here’s what’s the same: The house is big and white and empty. Mom doesn’t come home. His sister is dead. Sunny is alone.

Summary
Tragedy strikes the hero community when Bruce Wayne commits a crime so heinous even the best start asking for blood. However, as the heroes try to recover from the hit and carry out justice for their friends, a random assortment of people start acting oddly, including the current Speedy Tim Drake, a child hostage in Gotham, and a young man from an unremarkable circus amongst others. All of them seem intent on saving Bruce Wayne from the grasp of the Justice League for no apparent reason, going as far as betraying their previous allegiances.
Unknown to the Justice League, these people are equally confused. Clearly they're stuck in another dimension, but how do they get back? How did they even get here? Who else is stuck in this world? And how long will Tim's patience last? Back home, the Bat was a planetary symbol that struck fear in the hearts of criminals. In this new world, it has no meaning, save for the handful of stranded souls.
