    Summary

    Jason had been brought up in a dark place, where walls closed on him, food was rotten, and hearts were broken. He endured screams, insults, and hate thrown at him, and yet, he didn't mind admitting he loved being carried. His grateful nature was still there when his mother kissed his forehead goodnight, when his father glanced at him when he wasn't being a bother. It was so easy to ignore the faults when you chased something, anything that would indicate that yes, they cared about him. He loved his mother. He loved her so much, but it wasn't enough.

    Love wasn't the law.

    He went out often, heard the robins chirp above him, and sat in a park under a willow tree that had short leaves. The tree itself was young, yet to have its glory and big leaves, which would dance in the wind. He would read a book he had gotten from the library, its sides torn and the cover's colours faded.

    One day, a boy approached him. He had a big smile on his face, but Jason wasn't as naive as his father told him to be.

    "Hi!" The boy's voice was as shimmering as his face was. "I am Richard. But most people call me Dick."

    Summary

    “It was fuzzy,” Dick repeats. “I was...dissociating, or something. She climbed on top of me and started pulling down my suit and I—I know I told her to stop. I wanted her to stop.”

    Bile climbs up Wally’s throat. His hands tighten on the edge of the table so hard they nearly splinter the wood. He’s pretty sure his grip is the only thing that’s keeping him from standing up and running until he finds this Catalina Flores and plunges a vibrating hand right through her chest.

    Summary

    "It’s a terrarium. Lex expected the showiness, it is the specialty of the Acquirers' guild that’s hosting this auction.

    Settled in the center, laying on his side, eyes open, but glazed, is Superboy."

    AKA: Lex finds Conner where he least expects. Calm is, perhaps, a word they left behind the moment they laid hands on his son.

    Summary

    For most people, being impaled by a giant slab of serrated glass would mean game over. In Kon’s case, he’s just in a bit of blinding agony while Superman takes care of Metropolis’s latest Bad Guy Of The Week a few streets over.

    No big.

    --
    While injured during a battle, Kon introspects way too much about his worth. Blood loss and feels ensue.
