    Summary

    Pointing and calling is a method in occupational safety for avoiding mistakes by pointing at important indicators and verbally calling out their status. It is particularly common on Japanese railways and in China. Gesturing at and verbalizing these indicators helps with focus. ... It is not common in other countries, though it is used in the New York City Subway system... Pointing and calling requires co-action and co-reaction among the operator's brain, eyes, hands, mouth, and ears. ... In North America, transit workers perform a similar procedure, known as "point and acknowledge." -Wikipedia

    Five times pointing made Ingo's heart hurt and one time it was home.

    Summary

    They found him on a mountain.

    Unconscious and tattered, lips blue from lying face down in powder snow, the man was delivered to the Pearl Clan in the arms of a beast with no warden.

    Ingo adapts. He has no choice but to adapt to this life he's been handed, even if he knows there's a great deal missing from himself.

    Summary

    J’onn floated into the room with a datapad in hand. “The system already recognizes him as an active member.”

    “You already added him?” Hal asked Bruce incredulously. “We just had this discussion.”

    Bruce looked down at the datapad in hand. “Is that a problem? I knew you’d be adding him.”

    Barry let out a disbelieving laugh. “So you argued against it…while already putting him in the system?”

    “I argued against it,” Bruce corrected, “but the outcome was inevitable.” He stood and turned toward the console. “Orientation begins in five minutes,” he said, already moving—like the conversation had ended whether they agreed or not.

    Barry looked like he might actually short-circuit. “Five minutes?” he repeated, voice pitching up. “We just found out he’s already—he’s in the system, Batman!”

     

    Batman has always believed distance keeps people safe. Then Nightwing starts working alongside him again, and suddenly the careful line between them begins unraveling in front of the entire Justice League.

    What starts as quiet suspicion slowly becomes impossible to ignore: Batman and Nightwing aren’t just partners. Bruce just isn’t ready for everyone else to realize it yet.

    Summary

    Diana straightens, her voice firm now. “Robin, can Batman come to the line?”

     

    “Batman can’t come to the phone right now! Why? Because he’s dead!”

     

    Clark’s blood runs cold.

     

    The room erupts— chairs scraping, voices overlapping, Barry swearing. Hal demanding answers, Arthur already moving for the exit. Diana’s hand is on her sword. J’onn’s mind reaches out instinctively, alarm rippling through him. Clark can’t hear any of it. All he can think is dead, echoing over and over, and the fact that it came from a child’s mouth.

     

    “Robin,” Clark manages, fingers digging into the console, “what do you mean—“

     

    “Ohmagosh, calm down! It’s a Taylor Swift song. Are you guys so old you don’t know? That’s sad.”

     

    Or, Batman is a Justice League consultant and can’t come to the phone.
