Summary
The fifth morning in the Whirling, and the second morning of the man in the wig pretending not to stare at you as you walk down the stairs, you decide you need to know who he is.
(For the good of the case, of course.)

Summary
It’s the bottom of the ninth. It’s the first day of the season and it’s also the second game of the series, and it’s the bottom of the ninth but it’s also the first inning, and Nico stopped trying to make sense of how those numbers add up a long time ago.
It’s been the first day of the season at least a hundred times, by his estimate.

Summary
The Scorekeeper draws their coat tighter around their shoulders as they pick their way across the tall grass. The ground is still halfway muddied from the late-offseason snow; their boots sink in uncomfortably and their footsteps make no sound. The ground feels like it will swallow them whole.
(The Scorekeeper, and Dunn Keyes, and being a person in a world that does not want you to be a person.)

Summary
Tim can see so clearly how this is going to go. Batman will never kill the Joker. Jason will take that as proof that Bruce doesn't care about him, has never cared about him. Bruce will try and try to prove him wrong, twisting himself up tighter and tighter and doing worse and worse every time. Jason will see confirmation of Bruce's disinterest in every twitch, and Bruce will see the evidence of his own failure in every rebuff.
Sometimes Tim is so, so tired.

Bookmarker's Notes
Tim wants Bruce to bring him upstairs. He wants Dick to hug him and tell him that he'll never do anything so bad that Dick will stop loving him. He wants Alfred to have a Tim-shaped place that no one else can ever fill. He wants to be the one who leaves everyone else, just for the novelty.

Summary
Bruce tensed. It was small, imperceptible enough that most wouldn’t pick it up. Dick saw it coming a mile away. “You’re supposed to be taking down a smuggling ring in Tricorner.”
“Yeah, that’s exactly where you want me, isn’t it?” Jason's voice was calm, deceptively slow. Then it flipped on a dime, transforming into a cracking scream. “‘Cause if I was there, I wouldn’t have to see you put my brother in the fucking Pit!”
Pit. The Pit. The Lazarus Pit, noxious and intoxicating and everything Dick had spent years trying to forget, even as Jason showed up on his doorstep, unprompted, near tears, needing someone, anyone, to listen to his butchered, incomplete descriptions on what it was like to live drowning.
It melts you, he’d said once, wrapped in a blanket Dick didn’t remember owning. Brings you to your bare parts and builds you back up in a new form, again and again, until you forget that you ever used to be anything else. But it’s so cold, at the same time.
Dick didn’t feel cold or hot or angry or insane. He – didn’t feel anything, despite the heaving cries that choked him even now.
or, Dick dies. He gets better, but the Pit always has a cost.

Summary
Tim is an unwanted android, a Robo-Child. After being sent back by his parents, his last and only hope rests in the hands of a man still grieving the loss of his own son.
“I didn’t ask for a replacement,” Bruce barked. “I don’t want a replacement! You can go back and tell the RCO I don’t need a replacement.”
Bruce Wayne didn’t want him. If Bruce Wayne didn’t want him, he’d be sent back and dismantled.

Summary
He does a cartwheel, followed by a round off, and then finishes to a handspring — all executed perfectly. He bows to his audience. “Ta-dah,” Talon says, and then claps for himself.
“Enough,” Batman says.
