Summary
To be fair, Tim figured it out when he was, like, ten years old. Janet Drake had been a social climber through and through, so the way she always avoided their most famous neighbor had confused him as a kid.
That is, until the first time he actually saw the man.

Summary
Kon bites the inside of his cheek before he speaks. There’s no way to soften the blow he supposes. All he can do is ask. “I...I wanted to ask if you were okay? Are you okay?"
And Kon can see it this time. The way Tim calculates how he’s going to respond before he actually responds. He watches as Tim schools his features into an utterly confused expression before saying, "why are you asking me that?" It would be convincing if he didn’t know Tim so well. The draw of his brows. The subtle purse of his lips. It’s a hell of an act.
-or-
Tim's a good actor. Kon still sees right through him.

“Roy and I are getting married,” Jason blurts, and it’s like the entire room stops.

Summary
“Of course. They’ll be returned after we contact Booster Gold and Dr. Fate. Between you and the Lanterns’ reports, it’s clear something’s going on.” Clark sighs and rubs at his face. “You’ve done good work, Tim. We’ll take it from here.”
We’ll take it from here.
Tim fights the urge to scream.
“I’ll want to see him,” he says edgily (and he kicks himself for it. He has to be better than that. Smarter.) “When you bring him back, I mean. I’ll want to see him.” And he keeps his voice milder this time. Less demanding.
“Well, Tim, we still don’t know what we’re gonna find,” Clark says, and Tim fights the urge to lunge at him.
It wouldn’t get him anywhere.-or-
They can’t ignore everything that went on while Bruce was lost in time forever.

Summary
“Look, this was very nice and intimidating, but I’m not interested in playing house with Lex," he says firmly, agitated that apparently, he's still a chew toy being tugged between two grown men with their own issues.
“No one’s asking you to," Lena shrugs. "But what my brother does want you to do is to attend the birthday celebration he’s planning for you. You’re turning 20. It’s a big deal.” From her purse next to her, she produces a golden envelope. "The party's in a few weeks at the Capitale downtown. Invite whoever you want. All you have to do is show up. Bring your beau. It’ll be fun."-or-
Kon’s birthday party has a few too many familiar guests.

Summary
“Maybe it just wasn’t a good fit. I hear that happens sometimes. Maybe you and the new one will gel better,” Bruce offers.
“Sure, I’m sure I’ll gel with an art therapist.”
Bruce is scoffing before he knows it. “Art therapist? She wants you to fingerpaint?”
Tim snorts a laugh. “I guess. Maybe she’ll see something in the doodles.”
“Maybe.”-or-
Tim's not the first of Bruce's kids to need a therapist. He certainly won't be the last.

Summary
“Right,” she scoffs (or maybe it’s a laugh) and turns on the coffee pot. “Why’re you here, Jason?” She asks as she fills the carafe with water.
“I can’t visit an old friend? Check in on the place?” Jason hedges.
“We’re not friends. I talk you out of killing yourself, and you keep this place open,” Angelica says flatly.
“You wound me.”-or-
A couple of snapshots into the batfam's efforts to get well.
