Summary
“Has Robin always been this, uh…” There’s a pause that grows heavier the longer it lingers. “Stoic?”
Superboy sighs. “I dunno. Maybe? I only ever teamed up with him like, twice before the whole ‘Kidworld’ thing, but that was before Superman came back, so there’s a pretty big gap in between.”
“I could be wrong, but…” Bart sounds uncharacteristically hesitant, like each word is being slowly pulled out of him. “I think something might have happened to him. Something bad.”
(Five rooftop encounters between the third Robin and a Kryptonian, and one that happens deep underground.)

Summary
"Hurry," says Impa, ancient and anxious.
"Hurry," says the ghost of a woman you've mostly forgotten.
The Master Sword burns in your hands as you pull, knees trembling and sweat slick between your shoulder blades.
(People keep telling you who you are, the hero you're destined to be. Eventually, you're going to prove them wrong.)

Summary
The bond company sees the SecUnit’s sentience as a selling point, not an ethical quandary. Dr. Mensah believes that it is a person before she ever lays eyes on it. Meeting that person and folding them into their lives requires a lot of hard discussions and complicated preparations. Only some of this was covered in the rental documents.

Summary
Episode 224 of The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon features a controversial B-plot and a metaphorically complicated group sex scene, so SecUnit is a little less distracted while Dr. Arada and Prof. Bharadwaj conduct their crater survey.
Later, Dr. Rhatti will call some of this planet’s fauna monsters, noting how one specimen quote “chewed SecUnit completely in half.”

Summary
Crowley drifts through the cottage, idly gathering stray cups and wine glasses with the intent to wash them only to abandon the task halfway through. Two months ago, the sight of their kitchen in such a state would make him want to scream. It makes him want to scream now, of course, but that’s hardly the kitchen’s fault, is it? Not when literally everything makes him want to bury his claws deep into his own face and scream until he can’t scream anymore.
(It's some number of days after they quit counting the days in quarantine. There's a flaming sword of thorns where Crowley's spine should be.)

Summary
Tim explains, trying to hide his annoyance, because surely Bruce knows.
Bruce has a look on his face like he’s onto something, and asks Tim where more dates are, then moves on to months and days and numbers, and Tim’s annoyance has turned into confusion.
“Why are you asking me this?” he asks. “Don’t you know where they are?”
And Bruce says, “Tim, have you ever heard of synesthesia?” -

Summary
The footage review uncovered everything — including what Bruce did to Tim on his sixteenth birthday. Ten days. A hologram of Alfred dying. Ten days of Tim convinced one of his siblings would destroy the world, investigating everyone he loved, and never once suspecting Bruce. Because Bruce was the floor. Because Tim always trusted Bruce more than anyone.
Bruce forgot it happened.
Two years of therapy, twice a week, and it didn't come up. Because Tim was fine. Tim is always fine.
Tim picks up on the fifteenth buzz. He says the thing he's never said out loud. He hangs up. Bernard holds on. In the dark, Tim Drake — twenty-one years old, knowing he doesn't have to go back, knowing his siblings aren't contingent on Bruce anymore — tries to figure out whether he keeps going to Thursday dinners because he's right about Bruce or because he's still sixteen and can't stop going back.
He doesn't figure it out tonight.
