    Summary

    Unknown number has sent 1 image, the banner reads. That’s right. The Replacement had said he was into photography or something. Another buzz comes in as Jason is double checking the daggers shoved into his boots. And then another. And another. It’s incessant. With a huff, Jason opens the phone back up to idly stroll through the stream of Dick’s inconsistently punctuated texts.

    Tim what is this

    Where are you

    You said you had homework??????

    Hello????

    Well, he seems a little distressed.

    Jason scrolls back up to the top of the chat, ignoring Dick’s incoming messages to take a closer look at the inciting image. It’s blurry and dark. Jason has to hold the phone ridiculously close to his face just to make it out. A green-gloved hand gives a thumbs-up over a piece of wet pavement. Jason squints closer. It’s not just wet. It’s a deep, slick red.

    Cool. Whose blood is that? Jason asks. Dick’s response is immediate: NOT HELPING JAY.

    ***

    Jason, Dick, and Tim learn about communication.

    Brothers!! So cute, especially Tim's snarky little "Oooh, you want a milkshake so bad."

    Summary

    Luke is tired; tired of fighting for the galaxy, tired of sacrificing his family, tired of /fighting/ his family, and his fight with Kylo leaves him drained.

    However, the Force is not quite finished with Luke Skywalker just yet. So it sends some help.

    Summary

    It was easily the most predictable hit he’d ever delivered. If the knee hadn’t telegraphed it, the wind up would have. He’d leaned back, leaned forward, and sent the sloppiest punch of his vigilante career at the face of a man who should’ve seen it coming from a mile away.

    Bruce’s head snapped back with a soft, surprised oomph. He took one step backward, regaining his balance on one overly-smooth loafer as blood began to gush down his face.

    Dick stared at him, unable to speak. Unable to look away as Bruce put a hand to his cheek, probing at the bloody gash like he’d never been hit in the face before. The hit he hadn’t seen coming.

    Summary

    The truths Meng Yao knows are:

    One: the world of classical music is as dangerous and dark as the cultivator courts in the bedtime stories his mother used to read to him each night, hoping to scare him into behaving as much as to put him to sleep.

    Two: his father would applaud him with one hand and throw him to the wolves with the other.

    Three: Meng Yao will be the best damn pianist this orchestra has ever seen.

    *

    Meng Yao has scored a seat as the philharmonic's solo pianist for their season opening gala. He'll do whatever it takes to prove himself - including the handsome first chair clarinet.
