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.)

"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.)

"Death is not temporary, Tim." Bruce cut in, his voice tight with restrained emotion.
"Is it? Because if I recall correctly, you clawed your way through hell to get Damian back!"

Summary
Tim doesn't like his medication. He feels really weird lately, and he's certain it's because of the blue pills. Yet every time he thinks too hard about it, his thoughts trail off until he can't remember what they were.
"The pills are good for you, Timothy." His parents tell him. "Don't you remember how much you struggled before? How disobedient you were? Look at you now, you never argue or ask those obnoxious questions anymore."
The worst part is, they're right. Tim doesn't argue or ask questions anymore. Mostly because half of the time when he goes to speak, his words have abandoned him before he even opens his mouth.
(Tim's brain is super messed-up. Good thing his parents have medicine to help him.)
(The Drakes don't appreciate that their son is extra intelligent in all the wrong ways, so naturally they start drugging him from age six and on.)
