Summary
There was a clamoring outside, indicating the arrival of the soldiers. Machaon and Odysseus shared a quick glance before Machaon said: “You will deal with him, yes? He will get in the way.”
Odysseus sighed. “Must I? Will he not obey you for Patroclus’ sake?”
“Odysseus, you are smarter than this. Please tell me you have not forgotten last time.”
“I do not believe there is a poor soul who was involved that will ever forget that,” he reminisced unhappily.
“And that was only a shallow arrow wound. Imagine if he saw this,” he gestured to the wound with a cock of his head.
or;
Patroclus is injured on the battlefield, thankfully Odysseus is there to get him the help he needs. Cue Achilles freak out.

Summary
The only thing that has brought on the slightest relief since Bruce first did this to Jason was the Joker’s toxin. It washed every last dredge of fear away and left only amusement in its place. For the first time in a long time, Jason could breathe. But there are a million reasons why Jason would have to be a complete idiot to utilize that method again.
Even that mild dose the Joker gave him was more than enough to have Jason feeling invincible. No fear, no hang-ups. He felt immortal—and even if he did end up bleeding, the pain was too fucking funny to worry about. He’d never felt so free in his life.
Jason nearly asked the clown for an extra dose for the road, but he knows better than anyone what a slippery slope that can be. He saw it on the streets, in both his parents, in Roy’s eyes every time he finds himself craving a drink. Jason could never allow himself to take such a dumb risk.
So, Jason endures.

Summary
The epitome of apathy, Craig Tucker has never been anything but nonchalant when it comes to his life and other related catastrophes. As long as he's not missing his favourite tv show or being hassled into another one of his classmates' ill-advised schemes, the boy truly doesn't care. Why should he? He's almost halfway through his Junior year at South Park High, which he's already figured out means he's only trapped there for another year and a half.
Yet, there's only so far flying under the radar can get you, and unless he can get his grades up before the end of the school year, he won't be graduating with the rest of his class.Luckily, there's a blonde-haired recluse who might be able to help him - in more ways than he'd hoped.
