Summary
Flying back to Cherry Street, weaving reckless in the dark, it comes down to this: Dick is the only one of his siblings that Jason has any real claim on. Dick is the only one of that whole mess of victims to Batman's cult of self-immolation who belongs to Jason. Even more than that - Dick is the only person in the world who he shares a parent with, who knows what it meant to be the Robin to Batman of nearly ten years ago.
It's just not the same anymore.
So if Dick fucking kicks it, Jason's the only one left. Jason becomes an only child. Jason becomes the last of his kind. Jason becomes the sole keeper of that memory, of a brotherhood shared under a man who no longer exists. There is no way to replace Dick, because the world that they lived in together is gone, and can never give Jason a surrogate.
The Red Hood pulls the thread on a mystery big enough to bridge the distance between two cities, two brothers: The plot they unravel is far deeper and darker than a garden-variety drug trafficking scheme. A story about siblingship, hauntings, and rivers.
1. Ostium, osti(i): Latin noun, II Declension: Door, opening; (river) mouth; entrance (to the underworld).

Summary
A flash of something pink and shiny catches Jason’s eye, crunched in an aluminum ball and stuffed in the camper's door handle.
Oh shit.
“Wing, what does that wrapper say?”
“Why?” Dick drawls over the engine's death rattle, barely glancing up from his Twitter feed.
“Just read the fucking packaging,” Jason snaps back.
“Nerd’s Rope, 400 milligr- Jason did you give me a fucking edible?”
____________________________________In which the Red Hood attempts a union bust, suffers from Biblical road rage, smuggles drugs over the U.S-Mexico border, and cusses out Richard Nixon. Order of events not specified.

Summary
Wade looks up at him. He’s gone very quiet, all the sudden, and there’s something grave about how he moves as he drops his sandwich back into the bag and clears his throat.
“There’s something I should tell you,” he says. “It’s very big news for both of us.”
Peter’s immediate thought is that someone has died. His second thought is that someone is pregnant.
Wade does not announce either of those things.
“I’m going to adopt you,” he says, instead.
Peter chokes on his sandwich and then promptly drops it out of surprise. It falls all fifteen feet down to the plastic flooring below and scatters into a dozen little bits of mayonnaise and deli meat.
_____
Wade gets it into his head that the only way he'll achieve narrative stability in the storyline is by taking Spidey in as his adoptive son. He attempts to woo his way into becoming Spidey's new father figure through some deli sandwiches and a rooftop fistfight with a very indignant Daredevil. It doesn't work.

Summary
“Was any of it real to him?” Peter asks, and he means the movie nights, the science in his lab and the dinner on the table, the ruffling of his hair and the stories regaled like fairytales. He means the love.
“Does it matter?” Rhodey wonders, and it’s an echo. “It was real to you.”
