Summary
Wally knew that Roy needed to open up about his issues with Green Arrow, but couldn’t the Teen Titans just sit him down for a nice meal and talk about it? You know, like normal people would? No of course, Dick had to make everything complicated, opting for a high-stakes mission to pry things out of Roy.
What Wally didn’t get was his own involvement in this. He didn’t mind helping his friends out, but his presence here wasn’t necessary. The whole point of this mission was to address a fragile parent-child relationship— something Dick could handle by himself. So why did he ask Wally to come? Was this some elaborate plan to force all three of them to talk?
Sure, Wally might have his share of family issues, but they weren’t worth addressing— especially not when compared to his teammates’ problems. And if Dick wanted to see issues where they weren’t any, well, Wally wasn’t gonna let him.

Summary
Broccoli hair wiped his eyes and took a shaky breath. “Thank you”
Oh. He was being thanked? People didn’t do that much, so it left him fumbling for an answer. It felt… nice to do something right for once.
He broke into a wide grin. “You’re welcome!”
“I’m Izuku Midoriya.” Broc- Izuku said. There was a little spark in his eyes that hadn’t been there before.
“The name's Naruto! And I’m gonna become the best Hero ever- Believe it!”
Izuku smiled, but then looked away with sadness. Augh, did Naruto say something wrong?
“I also, I want—” Izuku paused, then something in his eyes shifted. It was small, but it made a difference somehow. It was a flicker of resolve.
“I want to be a hero too.”
Naruto lit up. “Then let’s become heroes together!”

Summary
Adrien has mastered the art of the smile. Even while his mind is on poor behavior, when he's caught beneath a barrage of unkind thoughts to himself, he's still able to keep his smile. Attend his friends' parties, maintain small talk, get through the day — and hopefully his friends won't realize how messed up he really is.
Everyone is out-pacing him. While he's barely getting out of bed in the morning, his friends are making waves, changing lives, getting engaged.
He can't even get his girlfriend to text him back.
So, sure. Maybe he's not in the best head space right now — but 'suicidal'? Ladybug's certainly just reading too deeply into things. But if her concern for Chat Noir's mental state is enough to get her reaching out, well, he won't turn down the opportunity to chat with a friend. Besides, Ladybug seems to be having a rough go of it, too. Maybe they can help each other out.
(a Ladynoir hurt/comfort texting fic, with established Adrienette)

Summary
Wally West has been the Flash for only a few months after his uncle sacrifices himself to save the world. Barry had been a hero. Wally's just trying to get by. After a long day, Wally goes for a standard run that leads him stumbling across a badly beaten Robin. He saves him. He has no idea yet, but this changes everything.
Snippet:
"No-" Wally's voice is rough with lingering dredges of sleep. It's hard to imagine less than an hour ago, he had been counting sheep in his borrowed bed. He clears his throat and tries again, pleading urgently with the nurse, "I'm alright. Please focus on the boy."'Boy.' Jason is only fifteen, Wally's pretty sure. Tiny. Powerless. He should call Batman and demand answers. Why is Robin in Ethiopia and not Gotham? Where were you? He doesn't remember Barry questioning Batman's authority often. But Barry would've never let Kid Flash be in another country alone with no teammates and no mentor.

Summary
Uenoyama lowers his head a little. “You—” It comes out almost between his teeth, like he’s gritting it out. “You’re really sticking with Kaji-san lately.”
Is that bad? Does that mean he is angry? Does that mean Mafuyu made him angry?
“That’s—”
Uenoyama whirls around, lodging Mafuyu’s words in his throat. He flinches by accident, just because Uenoyama is so close, and Mafuyu expects there to be a hand, next, coming just as fast.
He wishes the antidepressants were working, because he’s feeling the wrong things, right now. He’s feeling scared.
He’s not supposed to be scared around Uenoyama. He’s not supposed to be scared of Uenoyama.
“You really think I wouldn’t be angry?” Uenoyama demands. His eyes narrow, unfriendly and accusatory.
