Summary
Caped crusaders are fine for fighting drug kingpins, mob bosses, and murderous metahumans. But Gotham still has plenty of regular villains - dirty cops, greedy landlords, corrupt politicians. Crooks like these require a lighter touch. A little… leverage.
~
After setting up the brewpub at the edge of Crime Alley, Eliot, Parker, and Hardison are keeping busy. A young man with unusual hair and an off-limits backstory joining their lineup of employees is nothing new. But when the Red Hood appears not long after, the team finds themselves caught in a feud between vigilantes that could be very bad for business.

Summary
“To kick off our curriculum, I’d like to introduce you to an idea that I learned when I was in fifth grade,” says Ms. Miller. She’s only twenty-three, this is her first job out of college, but to an eleven-year-old Jason Todd she seems as wise and worldly as a magi. “There was a writer named John Gardner who once said there are only two kinds of stories." She pulls up a Word document on the Smartboard and Jason reads the two lines, written in capital letters:
SOMEONE GOES ON A JOURNEY
A STRANGER COMES TO TOWN
A thrill runs through Jason. He immediately knows why this idea always stuck with Ms. Miller. It seems so profound, so important. Something that every student of the written word should know. And that’s exactly what Jason is, and what he always plans to be.

"You need to listen to me," Zemo said. "I've been sent to kill you, Sam. There is a bomb in my back. I think we can safely say—" He smiled briefly, humorlessly, at their horrified expressions. "—That the mission did not go as planned."
