    Summary

    Minhkhoa Khan did not understand emotions, not really. He could logically understand how they worked, what caused them, and how people generally acted while under their influence.

    Bruce Wayne did not belong under the categorization of regular people. Bruce Wayne twisted and fought his emotions. He wrangled them under logic, and locked every emotion deemed too much behind numerous barricaded doors within his mind.

    Bruce Wayne, who to Minhkhoa’s informed opinion had reached a new low in the mishandling of his own emotions.

    Or

    Minhkhoa Khan sees an opportunity and does not lose his shot on claiming it.

    Summary

    "My birthday," Bruce repeated, as if the word sounded foreign. 

    "I know, it was last week, but…”

     

     "Look, if you were expecting a big party, you were wrong. Just open this damn gifts," Jason blurted out, getting glares from everyone else.

     Nice way to apologize, Jason! They were wrong, for once! 

     

    Bruce, however, remained unruffled. He was too familiar with Jason's bullshit, "I wasn't expecting anything…”

     "Well, then open these…”

     

     "Because I haven't celebrated my birthday in years." 

     

    (Dick tries to celebrate Bruce's birthday after his return from the time stream. It didn't go as he wanted.)

    Summary

    "Big Blue, please calm down," Hal Jordan hissed in his ear, looking ready to pull out the kryptonite at any moment, "Your eyes are getting red."

    "I'm calm," Clark lied shamelessly, clenching his fists and trying to smile, but there was something wrong with his face, something too stiff, "See? I am serene and perfectly calm."

    "If you pierce Prince Xerxes' head with your damn laser beams, Sinestro will find a way to ally with the Senordians, make them his Yellow Lanterns, and it will be a problem not only for Green Lanterns but for the entire galaxy."

    Summary

    They found Batman on a rooftop in the Bowery, staring at the sky as if waiting for the Bat-Signal, silent, without Robin or Batgirl nearby.

    You ruin everything you touch. You're cursed, Bruce, and if I don't do something, you'll bury more Robins for your crusade .

    He'd said those words, hadn't he? He'd been so blinded by rage that he didn't care about the pain he was causing—and he'd thought, what right did Bruce have to be hurt? It was his fault, he had to pay—that he didn't think about the consequences.

    Damian wasn't the type to be pushed aside, not even when his father asked him to. But maybe there wasn't much choice, especially if the CPS had already been involved by Oliver…

    “Batman…”

    Diana was the one who approached Batman first, her lasso glowing in her hand. “We are sorry.”

    A long pause. Then a dry, guttural sound escaped the Bat. A cruel chuckle, so full of rage it was waiting to spill out like a raging river.

    "Is that all? After all the shit you threw at him, you're coming after him with your tail between your legs?," the Bat said, angry and Clark's eyes widened.

    That wasn’t Bruce.

    Summary

    "Was there any doubt?" Nightwing asked, with a certainty he didn't feel, wondering whose damned wedding this could be.

    " Well, of course no. You knew them for ages, you saw shit. You will be extra happy to be Batman’s best man.”

     

    Nightwing felt his heart sink. "Batman's best man..."

    Cyborg didn't seem to notice his discomfort, and continued, "Well, congratulations. I'm still hurt, but I'm glad those two finally worked things out. And I'm happy for you. You always wanted Superman to be your stepdad. I bet when you found out, nine-year-old you screamed like a..."

    Dick didn't hear the rest of the sentence. A long white noise had replaced Victor's words, his legs feeling like curd.

     

    Bruce was getting married. And Dick didn't know anything.
