    Bookmarker's Notes

    The garden isn't pretty. For a start, it's got too many books in it to be a proper garden. Adam can't help thinking it's very unfair, to show books where they came from and trees where they may end up, removed from nature. It's just a way for all parties to feel aggrieved.

    Summary

    “I know what you’re going to say, Batman,” Damian said, shrugging the hand off his shoulder. “You’re going to tell me that Nightwing is dead, and that people don’t come back from the dead. Well, clearly you are wrong, seeing that you were dead and I was dead and Red Hood was dead and even Superman was once dead-”

    “My parents are dead,” Father interrupted. “Nightwing’s parents are dead. There have been a few notable exceptions in extenuating circumstances, Robin, but the rule stands. Everyone can die.”

    Damian’s eyes were burning. “Yes, your parents, and Nightwing’s parents, and Hood’s parents, and even Red Robin’s parents, they all had to die so you could put on the cape. Is that what you’re telling me? Only parents die?”

    “Robin,” Father started.

    “I know, I know, you weren’t really dead,” Damian snapped. “And Mother has disowned me, so she might be safe from the curse. However, between you and Mother, the first adult to ever accept me and raise me and love me was Grayson, so he was the parent who had to die for me. So he can’t come back, because that’s the rule, right? That’s the rule?”

     

    ———

     

    Dick let out a puff of laughter. “I can’t wait for you to be born, little Robin,” he said into his ear, and then pulled away.

    Dick stumbled forward. Jason caught him by reflex. And then they were hugging, because they were there and it was happening and Jason's apartment smelled like pancakes and the sun was coming through the window and Billy Batson, champion of magic and enforcer of emotional honesty, was standing behind them with his arms crossed and the deeply satisfied expression of a kid who had just solved a problem that the Wisdom of Solomon considered beneath its pay grade.

    “What the hell are you doing?” He asks, voice sharp in his surprise. He’d expected—well. He hadn’t expected this. The girl in front of him is careful to keep her hands up, only nodding at the pack now on the ground. He’d thrown her pretty hard against the wall when she’d stepped out from the shadowed corner, but nothing he can see looks bleeding or broken, at least.

    “I’m here from Leroy. He didn’t want to come. Said you might, like, cut off his fingers or something. So he sent me.”

    Jesus. He has no frame of reference for this, no chicken soup for the immune teen apocalypse survivor’s soul, so instead he grabs too tight to her upper arms and shakes her, once, until she finally breaks her staring contest with the fireplace and looks up at him. She doesn’t look startled, just young. Just puppy-dog eyed and placid.

    Summary

    “The Red Hood has been good for Gotham,” Robin continued. “Crime in Park Row decreased by sixty one percent almost as soon as you showed up, and that’s even taking into account all the crime you commit. Drug overdoses have decreased by twenty two percent in adults and seventy nine percent in minors. Homeless minors are ninety two percent less likely to—”

    “Kid,” Jason interrupted. “Enough statistics. What the hell is this about?”

    Robin slowly lowered the tablet with his powerpoint presentation and looked up at Red Hood.

    “You care about Gotham,” Robin summarised. “Gotham needs Batman. Batman is missing and so is Nightwing. We need you to fill in for Batman.”

    “You want me to cover Batman’s patrols?” Jason clarified.

    “No,” Robin said. “I want you to be Batman.”

    Jason bluescreened.

    Then Oracle had continued with, “The Joker has Robin.”

    Everything after that was a blur. Jason couldn’t tell you what had happened; one moment he was standing on a rooftop listening to Oracle and the next he was in a warehouse with the Joker’s body and an injured little bird.

    The Joker was dead. Jason had killed him— shot him six times in the head and chest.

    That was when Jason knew with complete certainty that all his plans were fucking ruined. Batman had ruined everything without lifting a fucking finger. That motherfucker.

    ———

    The only thing Jason knew about the new Batgirl was that she could almost certainly kick his ass. He had enough sense to be apprehensive, even though he was reasonably sure he wasn’t a pod-person. Like eighty percent sure. Eighty-six percent on a good day. He is supposed to be dead after all. Like, you never know.

    In the beginning, he haunts rooftops, wanders the skyline at night, puts himself where Red Hood is likely to find him.

    “Hey,” Jason says, the first time Clint sees him after the night they met. He pulls his mask off, and his hair falls across his forehead, black and curling, sweat-drenched at the roots. The grin he gives him could break hearts at fifty paces, and here’s Clint, like an idiot, standing at point-blank range.

    SOS, Jason sends, to Babs. I need a character witness.

    His phone chimes, almost immediately, with a text from Steph: I witness that you’re an asshole.

    Seconded, from Grayson. Then: Need me to come arrest you for it?

    You’ll lose that jurisdiction battle, Jason says.

    Why are you at a hospital? Drake asks, because of course he’s already run the coordinates. Of course he has.

    En route, Bruce says, and the chatter dies.

    She waves at Clint, one-handed and casual. “I’m Batgirl.”

    “I’m,” Clint says, and then blanks. He glances at Jason. He’s not sure what he’s supposed to say. He doesn’t want to cause problems for Jason. “I’m…not.”

    “Not what?” she asks.

    “He’s not Batgirl,” Jason says. “Jesus, he just said it. Can we focus, please?”

    Batgirl crosses her arms over her chest. “I’m trying to be polite.”

    “I’m trying not to throw both of you through a window,” Jason says. “Fuck’s sake.”

    Behind him, Phil Coulson draws his gun, thumbs off the safety, and fires twice. The bullets blast through the back of the Joker’s skull and punch through his face, painting the floor in front of him with his blood and brains. He twitches, heaves, nerves firing, and then slumps, dead, against the restrains.

    “Holy fuck,” Jason says, staring.

    “I hope you meant that,” Phil says, holstering his gun. “Because we can’t kill him twice.”

    “You just shot the Joker,” Jason says, still staring. “For me.”

    “Jason,” Phil says, his voice all twisted up and tense, “I’ve been trying to tell you. I’d kill anyone who hurt you.”

    He sighs and dials, and he’s not the least bit surprised when Drake picks up midway through the first ring. “Where is he,” Drake says, spitting it out so fast and flat that it isn’t even really a question.

    “Yeah,” Jason says, “hey there, Robin, how’re you?”

    “Where,” Drake repeats, “is Hawkeye? Is he alive? What happened at--”

    “Okay,” Jason says, “shit. Calm down over there. He’s fine. He’s been a little brainwashed and force-recruited into some alien bullshit. We’re gonna get him back.”

    ———

     

    “Hey,” Nightwing says, “hi. You look familiar.” He’s unnecessarily close to Steve Rogers, peering inquisitively at his face.

    “Steve Rogers,” Steve says, holding his hand out.

    “Well, fuck me,” Nightwing says, which earns him a wide-eyed double-take and a blush that hits Steve’s face so fast and hard that Jason’s a little worried he’s going to pass out.

    Jason doesn’t mean for the Winter Soldier to be a present for Tony Stark. The youngest Stark isn’t supposed to be involved at all.

    The plan is simple: intervene before the Winter Soldier can murder Howard and Maria, tranq the Winter Soldier until he’s sufficiently incapacitated, and then drag him off for further study and let the Starks carry on with their fraught, bourgeoisie bullshit.

    And then, in free fall, the Winter Soldier tosses the gun with his right hand, catches it in his left, and fires one beautiful, perfect shot right into Howard Stark’s skull.

    It’s maybe the hottest thing Jason’s ever seen in his life.

    “Well,” Richie says. “Not anymore, if Wheeler has anything to do with it.”

    “Richie!” Will says.

    “Richie,” a sterner voice says from the doorway of the kitchen, and Will turns his head to see Mike stalking in indignantly, staring at Richie with the anger of a thousand suns.

    “Shut the fuck up,” Mike says.

    “Good morning to you too,” Richie says.

    Summary

    A boy descends from the heavens, skin kissed by the sun, and hair as gold as the many medals that adorn his chestplate. His purple cloak billows over his shoulders like a Roman emperor, face as stern as any somber military leader, and his eyes are an electrifying blue that makes Nico think of Thalia.

    Instead of the fear and alarm shown by many campers, this boy scans the armor-cladded skeletons Nico summoned and the anxious diamond at Hazel’s feet. There’s a scar on this boy’s mouth that’s enhanced by his scowl—and suddenly, the harsh demeanor fades. The electrifying hue of his eyes disappear—matching the color of the morning sky instead. He glances at the skeletons once more, then looks at Hazel and Nico, impressed.

    “Whoa,” he says.

    Nico hates how his heart skips a beat.

    Percy Jackson just knew things. He knew that it was going to rain, that his bus would be late, that some monster girls were going to blow up his classroom, that he was going to then get expelled.

    He also knew that Kronos was rising and that he was supposed to stop him.

    Not that he really knew how he was going to go about doing that, but he figured it had to start with some boy named Luke Castellan.

    Or; Percy has always had prophetic sight, which he irritatingly dubs his future-seeing parasite, and it demands him to go on a quest to save the world. Just one confusing step at a time.

    “Wow,” Will breathes out, just on this edge of teasing. “You sound very confident about this.”

    “Well,” Mike shrugs, swallowing hard in a desperate attempt to soothe his very, very dry mouth, “I don’t know why someone wouldn’t be interested in you.”

    “Oh?” Will says, and it’s definitely teasing now, enough for Mike to feel himself turning warm, all down his neck and to the tips of his own – sadly unpatterned – socks. “Someone?”

    “Yeah.” Mike nods. Oh, god. This is fine. “In a very arbitrary sense of the word. Just– people. Someone.”

    Mike is approximately ninety-eight percent sure that his feelings are requited. That last two percent, however, has really been throwing him for a loop.

    He froze over in New York. He knows he did. And this, Sydney in his lap, hand on his face. This feels dangerously close to thawing out.

    It’s like there’s some feeling deep in his chest, that was long ago beaten badly enough to crawl out the light completely, but is now, somehow, emboldened, and emerging from its hiding place.

    ———

    “When I was twenty, and you used to come into that stupid diner, I burned so much food staring at you,” he says. “You, uh, you wore your hair natural back then, in those curls, I… I almost got fired, Syd. I was so fucking mesmerized. I could stare at you forever.”

    “I was staring right back at you,” she says, with a small smile. “You knew that, didn’t you?”

    “I thought you were annoyed the food was taking so long,” he says.
