    Summary

    Flying back to Cherry Street, weaving reckless in the dark, it comes down to this: Dick is the only one of his siblings that Jason has any real claim on. Dick is the only one of that whole mess of victims to Batman's cult of self-immolation who belongs to Jason. Even more than that - Dick is the only person in the world who he shares a parent with, who knows what it meant to be the Robin to Batman of nearly ten years ago.

    It's just not the same anymore.

    So if Dick fucking kicks it, Jason's the only one left. Jason becomes an only child. Jason becomes the last of his kind. Jason becomes the sole keeper of that memory, of a brotherhood shared under a man who no longer exists. There is no way to replace Dick, because the world that they lived in together is gone, and can never give Jason a surrogate.

    The Red Hood pulls the thread on a mystery big enough to bridge the distance between two cities, two brothers: The plot they unravel is far deeper and darker than a garden-variety drug trafficking scheme. A story about siblingship, hauntings, and rivers.

    1. Ostium, osti(i): Latin noun, II Declension: Door, opening; (river) mouth; entrance (to the underworld).

    Summary

    Yelena Belova finds she does the same thing over and over again. She stays home alone, thinks about Natasha and most importantly, drinks heavily. Most of the time, she does all three at once. She's always been a multitasker like that.

    But tonight she's at a karaoke bar. She's not alone (the bar is crowded and reeks of alcohol consumption and e-cigarettes), she isn't thinking about Natasha (it's hard to when the girl on the stage is singing like a siren), but she sure as hell is drinking.

    And maybe that's what makes her seek out Kate.

    Summary

    “Tell me — tell me everything. Did you yell at your parents yet? Is El Paso just like you remembered it? Did you hug Chris?”
    Eddie takes a measured sip of tea. “Not yet, kind of but not really, and yes.”
    Buck hums. Eddie imagines him sitting at his kitchen island or sprawled out on the couch in the loft. Hugging him goodbye two days ago felt so final, but now they’re talking just like they would any other night, never mind the 800 miles between them.
    “Does he seem okay?” Buck asks. “Did he storm off?”
    Yeah, this is normal. Buck asking the important questions, acting as a sounding board for Eddie, being a Christopher Diaz subject-matter expert. Eddie exhales and smiles a little for the first time since he left his parents’ house.
    “He seems like he doesn’t know what to do with me,” he answers honestly. “I think … I think it’s good I came.”

    —-
    Eddie has been parenting solo for a long time — except maybe he hasn’t? Maybe he doesn’t have to?

    Summary

    “Eddie,” Buck breathes, laughing humorlessly, his voice wet and thick. “If we sat here and-- and went through the list of things I want…” his hands gesture aimlessly. “We’d-- be here all night.”

    Eddie nods, catching Buck’s eyes again. “Maybe-- we start with mine, then.”

    The space between them feels charged with static, like the second before the thunder finally rumbles.

    -----

    Eddie’s finally choosing to be better-- finally choosing joy. He just needs a push or two in the right direction, first.
