Summary
"Is this really what you want to do with your life?"
Jason scoffed. "Of course it is. Bruce deserves this for not killing the Joker."
"A true thing," said Talia, "but that is not what I asked. Vengeance is a noble cause, but it is all-consuming. It will encompass your entire life. Though I do not know why, you have been given a second chance at life. I do not want you to waste it doing something that will not bring you true happiness. So, I'll ask again, is that really what you want?"
* * *
Instead of enacting revenge on the Bats, Jason becomes a theater teacher. Somehow, he still ends up helping out the Bats with their nighttime activities as Red Hood.

Summary
He’s staring at the ceiling. He doesn’t like that. He was always supposed to die looking up at the sky. Overdosed and lying in a gutter, but at least he could see the stars. Or the clouds. Or maybe it would have been winter and he could have watched snow fall as his life drifted away from him.
He’s in a warehouse. There are no stars. There are no clouds. There is no snow.
Above him is a tin ceiling.
It’s bleak.
Jason supposes it’s fitting.

Summary
After combing the entire area, including the lake itself, forensic scientists found more than just the remaining parts of the dismembered body.
They found a full skeleton lying at the bottom of the lake bed, wrapped in a red cloak.
. . .
"If this is from the Arthurian period, this is an incredible find indeed."
Hopefully, more information will soon be uncovered, though it's sure to be difficult. Mr. Emrys, the owner of the land and the lake, refused to let any further investigation go on. When asked for a comment, he refused and told the crew to, in his words, "F*** off."
+ + +
When a team of archaeologists discovers Arthur's skeleton in the lake of Avalon, along with a perfectly preserved cloak and sword, Merlin has no choice but to let them take his body to be displayed alongside other Arthurian artifacts for a special exhibition. Out of gratitude (or perhaps politeness), they send him an invitation.
He begrudgingly attends.

Summary
“Peter Parker,” Cindy says. Peter’s head snaps up so fast that it almost looks inhuman. “Did Tony Stark just waltz in and pick up his child in the background of your Zoom call?”
Peter freezes. Wide-eyed, with ‘guilty’ written on his forehead in 72, bold, Times New Roman font. It takes a solid thirty seconds before he can put himself together enough to click the unmute button.
“I—no?” Peter says. His voice is startlingly high pitched and his expression is nothing short of horrified.
Damn, if that isn’t anything but a confession.
Or: a day in the life of the quarantined high school spider-kid, as seen through the eyes of his first-period chemistry class.

Summary
“That was a disaster. The press is having a field day.”
“It wasn’t my fault,” Tony defends. “That Spider-Guy never knows when to shut up. He distracted me.”
“Your reputation took a blow,” Pepper tells him. “Which will be fixed, of course. I’ve already set it up.”
“Set what up? What, am I going to make flower arrangements with the elderly?”
Pepper slides a piece of paper towards him. “Try an orphan. His name is Peter Parker. His biggest dream is to meet you. But…” She hesitates.
“But?”
“Apparently he doesn’t talk much. Sometimes not at all. Trauma-related.”
“A smart kid who doesn’t talk? Perfect combination. If only all my employees were like that.”

Summary
There should have been nothing remarkable about two people in a busy cafeteria, but Becket takes in the familiar sight of curly hair, brown eyes, and a t-shirt with a science pun on it talking animatedly alongside Actual Anthony Edward Stark and promptly drops his lunch.
He gapes for a solid second, seeing but not believing. It definitely doesn’t look like Mr. Stark is forcing the kid to leave, or firing him, or escorting him to security given the relaxed smiles on both of their faces. If anything, Becket thinks Mr. Stark looks rather proud.
“So, uh, Mr. Stark definitely knows Roomba-Kid,” Becket says and discreetly tilts his head in the direction of the pair.
“Oh my god,” Jess says. She almost sounds gleeful. “Oh my god, he’s not just some random kid. He’s Mr. Stark’s kid.”
or: the interns at Stark Industries have some questions about Peter Parker. The answers aren’t quite what they expect.

Summary
Tim moved to Metropolis for two reasons.
The first was obvious, Metropolis University had the best engineering course on the East Coast. Even though it meant he was moving to Gothams rival city, he would gladly do so for the second reason that was whistling “California Girls” as he walked down the hallway to the bathroom.
Or:
Tim goes to Metropolis University. So does about half of his previous love interests.
