    Summary

    "Someone needs to go with him." Diana said. "She's a goddess of family. Her blessing will come from the strength of his familial ties."

    All the more reason I should go. Damian thought.

    Bruce and Dick shared a long look. Perhaps to the others in the room, it was a fast, indecipherable look, but Damian caught the pull of Dick's mouth and the tightness to his father's jaw. However, it was Bruce that said "Red Hood and Red Robin."

    Damian's eyes widened.

    Grayson was as good as dead.

     

    Or the one where Dick's brothers manage to royally piss off an ancient deity that sends them careening through memories he'd rather they didn't see.

    Summary

    Dick never told Bruce what happened with Slade while he was in Jump City, not wanting his dad to worry (and not wanting to look weak). But now, years later, they need Deathstroke's help on a mission, and the truth finally comes out to his entire family, and to the League.

    And, as per usual, Slade Wilson has a few dozen agendas up his sleeve.

    Summary

    “They tried getting Superman in here earlier. Went down like a lead balloon.”
    It's a painful endeavour, trying to keep his face as neutral as possible when Dick wants to smile, “That was always a doomed attempt.”
    Slade has no such issues, a snort of amusement coming easily from him, “Well it's a good thing they finally realized you needed to be the one talking to me.”
    --
    AKA Slade has information the League needs, Dick goes to interrogate him and ends up revealing the fact that he and Slade are friends.

    Summary

    Privately, he wonders just when they’re going to run out of miracles. He left the part of himself that believed in hopes and wishes and gods in the trenches of the Western Front, but he prays to whoever may be listening that he’ll be long dead before that happens.
