Summary
Red Hood kept his distance from the Bats. They had something akin to a truce, but they always maintained a healthy level of mutual wariness and animosity. None of them knew him, not in any way that mattered, and he was content keeping things that way.
Unfortunately, secrets had a way of coming to light.

Summary
The Thousand Acres of All can be conceptualized in concentric bands—the city as the centerpiece, surrounded by sprawling, endless fields then ringed in the distance by mountain peaks. She idly studies the sun as it dips into the same valley it has every day before and will every day after. The sky is a familiar gradient of orange-yellow-blue, deepening into a navy shade just dark enough that she can see the beginning of stars at the zenith.
OR: Essence watches the sunset with Jason.

Summary
"Mom overdosed again two weeks ago," Jason said. He was clearly trying to keep his voice flat and emotionless, but resentment spilled through like water in an oversaturated sponge. "So we're out of Narcan." They hadn't had Narcan, when Willis had… left. "The landlord's turned off the utilities and he's kicking us out in five days if we don't catch up on the last three months of rent."
"Okay," Willis said. He knew how he was supposed to follow that up. Thank you for telling me. I'm here now, I'll take care of everything. I'm sorry. Instead, what came out of his mouth was, "What happened to your face?"
OR: Knowing it wasn't enough had never stopped Willis Todd from trying.

Summary
Robin won't stop laughing, high-pitched and mischievous. It's something Jason realizes, close to the end. There is something equally humiliating and horrifying in being beaten by something that looks and acts like a child, that quips while hitting hard enough to shatter bone.
["Why?" Dick asks again, as if Jason will ever be able to give him an answer he wants to hear.]

Summary
The man snorted a derisive breath through his nostrils. “Peachy,” he said with a crooked grin, and despite the humor, there was something dangerous—feral—about that smirk. Maybe it was the rugged jawline or the mangled scars, the blood slowly dripping from the split in his lip or the finger tapping at the butt of his gun; but Roy’s instincts sparked aflame. He needed this man. He was the one.
Before Roy could fully think it through, he barreled ahead and asked, “You got any plans for the next month?”
The man arched an eyebrow, his gaze narrowing as he stared straight at Roy. “No,” he slowly said, the word careful and drawn out with his wariness. “Sounds like you might, though.”
--
In which Roy hires Jason to accompany him on a trip to pick up an expensive stallion; and while sleeping beneath the stars and hunting rattlesnakes, Roy sees a side to this rough, rugged man that irrevocably stirs Roy's heart.

What is death when it does not bring an ending? A prison; a trap; a nightmare. What is freedom then? What is it worth?

Summary
On the fourth day, it becomes clear that Joe is organizing something—more muscle than usual, a few more Black Mask affiliates than there should be. The few glimpses of Joe that Dick gets, he’s on his phone, speaking rapidly and gesturing emphatically.
On the fifth day, everything is quiet. No one comes, no one goes.
On the sixth day, Tim calls Dick: they’re not sure where Jason is. And yeah, maybe that’s just normal, and they’re not panicking yet. But they’re not sure where he is. And they’re about to start looking.
And on the seventh day, Bruce shows up at his door with Jason standing next to him, pale and hacking out a cough, putting too much weight on Bruce’s shoulder, and says: “I need to ask you a favor.”
OR
Dick is supposed to be on a boring stakeout assignment. Jason complicates that.
OR
“I’LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.” “IT’S ROTTEN WORK.” “NOT TO ME. NOT IF IT’S YOU.”
