    Summary

    “You didn’t like it the last time we tried it,” Shane said.

    Ilya gave a one-shouldered shrug. “Was years ago. Maybe it is an acquired taste, like licorice.”

    “You also don’t like licorice,” Shane pointed out.

    “Yes, but I keep trying it because Luca likes it so much.”

    “And then you make a face and tell him how awful it is.”

    “When have I ever told you your dick is awful?” Ilya said, looking mildly offended. “I am its number one fan.”

    Summary

    “Should call you the Ottawa Puppies,” says the Toronto centre, Svensson. As an insult it makes no sense, so Ilya ignores it, until he continues, “Hear Hollander keeps you on a short leash.”

    Ilya is the captain, so if anything, he should be holding the leash. In English, you can be singular or plural, but he knows what Svensson is trying to say. He is saying Ilya Rozanov, you are Hollander’s bitch.

    “Only sometimes,” Ilya replies, grinning. He wins the face off.

    OR: Ilya trains himself to be a very, very good guard dog for Shane.

    Summary

    The kid—Jason—stared at Slade with wide, alert eyes. Big and round like a doe—startled in its grazing, frozen in the sights of a predator. He leaned forward, one hand still gripping the pistol but the other anchoring his weight against the floor as if to stand and chase after Slade. But with Slade’s eye on him, Jason didn’t dare move an inch. All tense lines and silent shudders of breath that Slade could see quake along the kid’s ribs, Jason reminded Slade of a stray dog. Snarling and snapping its canines when he got too close, but whimpering and whining when he walked away.

    Slade wondered how long it’d take to tame the kid; and, thereupon, realized he might enjoy the challenge of it.

    --

    In which Slade, while chasing after the Joker gang's bounties and stolen payroll, finds Jason—battered, beaten, and abused at the gang's hands—alone in the mountains. Intrigued by the kid's feral tenacity, he offers Jason a chance at revenge.

    Summary

    “It's really this simple," Jason said. "You can feel however you want to feel about it. I'm not letting another kid get sacrificed on the altar of your principles."

    It was to Bruce's credit, maybe, that he didn’t flinch. It still made Jason mad as hell, though. That he could stand here, the resurrected prodigal son, and Bruce still wouldn’t—

    Jason shoots someone to protect Damian. Bruce, as usual, has opinions.

    Summary

    "So are you going to say something, or should I?" Dick says, after a few moments of silence.

    There's a short, sharp exhale as all the air leaves Bruce's lungs at once. Bruce would never let himself feel something as dangerous as relief.

    A late night phone call.
