Summary
Wally knew that Roy needed to open up about his issues with Green Arrow, but couldn’t the Teen Titans just sit him down for a nice meal and talk about it? You know, like normal people would? No of course, Dick had to make everything complicated, opting for a high-stakes mission to pry things out of Roy.
What Wally didn’t get was his own involvement in this. He didn’t mind helping his friends out, but his presence here wasn’t necessary. The whole point of this mission was to address a fragile parent-child relationship, something Dick could handle by himself. So why did he ask Wally to come? Was this some elaborate plan to force all three of them to talk?
Sure, Wally might have his share of family issues, but they weren’t worth addressing– especially not when compared to his teammates’ problems. And if Dick wanted to see issues where they weren’t any, well, Wally wasn’t gonna let him.

Summary
Broccoli hair wiped his eyes and took a shaky breath. “Thank you”
Oh. He was being thanked? People didn’t do that much, so it left him fumbling for an answer. It felt… nice to do something right for once.
He broke into a wide grin. “You’re welcome!”
“I’m Izuku Midoriya.” Broc- Izuku said. There was a little spark in his eyes that hadn’t been there before.
“The name's Naruto! And I’m gonna become the best Hero ever- Believe it!”
Izuku smiled, but then looked away with sadness. Augh, did Naruto say something wrong?
“I also, I want—” Izuku paused, then something in his eyes shifted. It was small, but it made a difference somehow. It was a flicker of resolve.
“I want to be a hero too.”
Naruto lit up. “Then let’s become heroes together!”

Summary
“Nagi,” Ness says, inhaling deeply, “Don’t you know girl code?”
“Nope. Sounds like a hassle,” Nagi says.
(There's the real world, and then, apparently, there's girl world. Nagi Seishiro doesn't care for either.)

Summary
Nagi stares at her blankly.
“You know, that woman who dropped Reo off for school today.” The girl’s smile is knowing, and a few of her friends giggle and hide their mouths behind their hands.
As much as people like to equate Nagi’s laziness with obliviousness, he’s actually quite quick on the uptake — he just never cares enough to get involved.
This, though, is an implication he finds he can’t ignore.
“What woman?”
Or; Reo suffers at the controlling hands of his parents, and Nagi learns what it means to care about — well, anything.

Summary
"Here," Nagi breathes, and he lifts the World Cup into Reo's arms. "It's for you."
Reo sways as it lands in his hand, dipping under its weight before he straightens back up again. He stares down at it for a long moment, and Nagi watches him collapse, shivering from head to toe, until he presses his face into Nagi's shoulder and begins to cry, choking as he drags an inhale through his teeth. "Nagi," he whispers. His hand tightens in Nagi's, pulling at his skin until he thinks he might bleed.
Nagi cradles Reo's head and stares at the ceiling. Reo's not yelling. He's not mad, he's not telling Nagi to leave. He's not rejecting him, and surely that is a victory, and yet—
Reo isn't happy.

Summary
Wally said, “How’d you know where I live?”
Billy shrugged. “I looked you up.”
He considered how best to answer the question. “I’m not in the book?”
“Ugh.” Billy rolled his eyes. “Fine. I saw you out doing Flash stuff and I followed you home. Happy?”
