Summary
“Do you fear them?” The First Mate attempted another conversation, he was all too comfortable being a bit pushy to build a bond with his superior.
Them.
“No.” Kenma swallowed quietly. There wasn’t any need to clarify who they were. The Pirates.
“Is that because you underestimate them, or because you overestimate us?” The broad-shouldered man thumbed the corner of his holy book, allowing his skeptical analysis of how strong he thought their defenses to be lingering in the air, and watching Kozume for a reaction that never came.

No one has ever suggested faith play a role in Cassandra Cain's life before, and, moved by his compassion, she feels compelled to learn of his beliefs.
At the same time, a gang of Christian terrorists reveal themselves to Gotham, ready to dispense their own ideas of holy retribution.

Summary
Ennoshita sighs next to him, brushing his hair back, and his voice comes out low in both volume and tone. “You’re too smart already.”
“For what?” Kenma pleads. “Is there something about this job that makes everyone who gets offered this position q—”
“All bets on you. You’re a great kid,” Ennoshita says quietly, intensely.
They look towards the back hallway, and the rest of the kitchen cast their eyes down firmly on their prep work as the door opens for the final entrance of the night.

Summary
Katara and Zuko's mission on board The Southern Raiders goes badly wrong, and they are captured and imprisoned in the unforgiving hull of the ship.
Katara now finds herself locked in a small room with a boy that she refuses to trust, and nine years worth of trauma and guilt swimming in her mind. She is resolute in her hostility towards Zuko, but as the horrors of their captivity unfold, an undeniable bond is formed in the quiet moments between their captor's torments.
When they find themselves safely back with their friends on Ember Island, they are both sporting deep scars – old and new, seen and unseen. Katara struggles to reconcile all the pieces of herself and figure out who she truly is. And Zuko continues to battle with his past guilt, and the new guilt that arises from his growing feelings towards Katara.
As their bond deepens – it may be the lifeline they both so desperately need to pull them from the dark waters of their past.
