Summary
Every goddamn sign post, every tumbleweed bouncing along side of the interstate, every saguaro or broken down sedan or sky-high gas price you pass, somehow meanders its way back down a path to Lightning McQueen, so even when you’re trying not to look at her, you end up conjuring her up in your mind’s eye. It’s fucking annoying.

Summary
Dick laughed. “Chin up, Cass. It’s your night." He unfolded his arms, wistful, like all of it was fabulous. “Five more minutes. Nothing the perfect heir can't handle, right?”
He’d smiled, but there was a sleight of hand that occurred in that space of a second, a magician’s old trick, but before she could fully read him Dick had turned and disappeared into a sea of blonde and blue-eyed, reshifting the center of the room’s gravity.
Or: Dick & Cass vs the year the Gotham press pits Bruce Wayne's two eldest against each other. It's not a crisis—it's a metamorphosis. Probably.

Girls when they become part of the narrative they were trying to escape. Girls when they're a little like their fathers. Girls when they're birds, and girls when they're nothing at all.

Summary
The bird is small, a pathetic smudge of orange-red and brown against the pristine, manicured grey of the driveway. It isn't mangled. There are no stray cats in the Manor’s inner circle, and the hawks don’t leave their kill behind. It looks like it simply reached the edge of the sky and ran out of permission to fly.
As he continues to stare at the unmoving chest of the bird, he feels less like himself and more like the eight-year-old boy in the trailer, clutching his mother’s hand as she whispers about the Dead Drop.
If the bird hits the floor, the ground is already rising to meet you.
The telegram had been delivered. And Dick Grayson is the only one who knew how to read the handwriting of the dead.

Summary
Jason [15:21]: Hey
Jason [15:21]: You heard from Dick recently?
Roy [15:22]: No.
Roy [15:29]: I haven’t heard from him once since he got back from Spyral. At this point, I’m pretty sure I’d punch him if he showed up on my fucking doorstep.
Roy [15:58]: Why do you ask?
Jason [16:02]: No one’s seen him in a few months. The kids are getting antsy.
Jason [16:03]: It’s probably nothing. I bet the fucker’s just taken himself off on another mission and didn’t bother to tell anyone.
Roy [16:16:] Probably.
Roy [17:09]: What do you mean no one’s seen him?

He might now ascend from these Avernian vales up to the light, with his Eurydice; but, if he turned his eyes to look at her, the gift of her delivery would be lost.
