Summary
After his parents' death, Viktor remembers a promise about mutual solitude and unrelenting progress, and somewhere out there, there is a world to be fought for, though he does not yet know this.
________
“None of us are unwounded, and that is the fate of us undercity dwellers, crushed under a well-polished boot and swept aside to be forgotten.

That is the truth of it.”

Summary
There was a weight on his lap. “A 1931 Browning,” Khoa’s voice sounded faraway, where Bruce couldn’t follow. He stared at the silver palm-sized pistol, semi-automatic, manual safety, six rounds. “Took this out of Luka’s guncase while he wasn’t looking. Far from one of his favorites, so he probably wouldn’t notice for a while.”
the woods in the dead of winter might be more volatile than Bruce or Khoa might have accounted for

Summary
a typical post-fall morning, it isn't true people get what they deserve after all
They stared at each other, slightly wide-eyed in the aftermath, of the reality of the collision of bodies, of the intimacy that always struck a new note regardless of how often the strings are plucked and revisited. “Twin darknesses, that’s what I was thinking about,” Will whispered into the gap between their mouths. “Just as this act joins our flesh, with a kiss we fill the emptiness within ourselves with each other.”

Summary
There were unnatural changes happening to him, he has no idea when it started, or how long it's been occurring. The opposite of life is not death, but a state somewhere torn between the two falsely-erected poles.

Summary
The Cave was dark now, just the faintest glow coming from the display cases Bruce had in the far end of it. Silver outlined Dick’s small form, supine and motionless. It felt like there was an insurmountable void between them.

Summary
Cass finds him in the parking lot checking if the oxygen tank was still in the green—it was—and prepping the gurney. She approached as Jason tied the sterile sheet to the back of the stretcher. “We got a call already.”
“Yeah?” Cass’ face was unreadable, and she wasn’t hustling Jason into the rig, so it couldn’t be a Code 3. “Long transfer?”
“Got it in one.” Cass looked away to confirm the dispatch. “Gotham General to the Big Apple.”

Summary
Superman hadn’t responded to Diana’s league-wide comm message. Something was wrong. It was a coordinated attack, seemingly by Toyman and his goons on Metropolis, but Bruce had always thought Toyman to be an eccentric lone-wolf, a playful megalomaniac too stuck in his own methods to be a team player.

Summary
The bullet didn’t fully penetrate his skin, Bruce didn’t think, though the roar of adrenaline might be masking it. No major hemorrhage, hopefully. There’s still an active firearm to be dealt with, so he needs to get there. Disarm him.
