    Summary

    Hayden finds Lily’s contact and touches the little call button.

    After a short time, the call connects. “Shane,” a breathless sound reaches his ear, a broken heavy Russian accent cut off by a choked up sob. “You scared me.”

    Hayden hangs up.

    Summary

    “I know what it’s like,” Steph said, “not wanting to go home.”

    “He does not,” Damian said falteringly, “hurt me. I am safe. I just…” A long pause. “Do not want to.”

    He had never sounded more like a child, and Steph thought he knew it too, the way he re-focused on the streets, like if he glared hard enough he could manifest criminal activity.

    Steph stared at him for a minute longer. “I’m heading back to my dorm,” she said.

    Damian, still sitting on the ground curled up, looked so small. Finally, he said, “I shall… permit you to offer me shelter.”

    Steph’s eyebrows flew up. “You shall permit me. Jesus.”

    Summary

    Steph, who had never known how to let a sleeping bear lie, said, “And you’re—”

    “He’s not my kid,” Dick snapped. He twitched like he wanted to stand. “I just… I worry, yes. What am I supposed to do?”

    “Nothing,” Steph said, soft. She pulled her knees up and laid her head on them. She regretted this conversation, suddenly. “Nothing else. It’s nice that you care.”

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, there must be a mistake.” Uther furrows his brows. “That is my son’s manservant.”

    “This is Emrys, the most powerful sorcerer who will ever walk the earth. It is our deepest honor to be able to offer his hand to your son.”

    “Merlin?” Arthur asks, looking across the hall. Merlin looks the palest and the smallest Arthur has ever seen him. He looks like a scared animal that knows it’s about to be trapped, and that’s when it clicks for Arthur that no part of this is a joke. None of it. “Merlin, what are they talking about?”
