Summary
Grace clings to the zenonite ball as tightly as he can, trying to trick his mind into believing that the smooth, warm surface was what it was after. That this hug shared between two species unable to coexist in the same environment is enough to satisfy his human instincts.
His skin prickles. The tears keep falling. It isn’t enough. And it will stay that way for as long as he is away from Earth.
A shudder runs through the man at this bleak thought, the ever-expanding pit in his chest feeling as though it’s swallowing up his entire being.
As if he heard the emotional casam split further, Rocky’s warbles take on a mournful croon. “Grace, tell Rocky what wrong. Please?”
Grace presses his tear-stained cheek against the warm surface, sighing miserably.
“I’m touch starved.”
Or... Grace's years of isolation from humans result in severe touch starvation. Rocky takes one look at this problem and says, "Hold my minerals."

Summary
There’s an abrupt jolt of his cushion, fully disrupting Tim’s attempt to fall back asleep. How dare it.
He voices his displeasure with a groan, eyelashes fluttering open. After a moment of initial blurriness, he can make out a tomato above him.
Huh. Maybe the hallucinations weren’t totally gone yet. Four days of refusing the siren calls of his bed did have its downsides, apparently.
Or... Tim falls asleep on Dick, and as per protocol, if a younger sibling falls asleep on you, then you must adhere to the rules of the 'Cat Problem': You are stuck there until said younger sibling wakes up, and any attempt to move is punishable by death. Jason sees this, and knowing that Dick will die on the hill of this rule, he tests his older brother's resolve.

Summary
"Why does he keep acting like I’m incapable?”
Alfred heaves a tired sigh, silently regretting not getting a handle on Bruce’s emotional constipation before it could take root. It was leaving him with far too many miscommunications to clean up. “Master Bruce is not treating you as though you are incapable, Jason. He is treating you like his son.”
He says it gently, yet Jason still flinches like it had been shouted.
Or... Alfred is a good grandparent and takes care of Jason when he's injured, both internally and externally

Summary
Bruce looks down at Tim carefully. “I didn’t see the flower,” he says. “What did it look like?”
Tim lifts his arms up - and holy jelly-limbs, Batman, was that an odd experience - and holds them a good few feet apart. “Yay big,” he slurs eloquently. “Kinda pink and purple, little bit of blue…” Suddenly, he swings an arm to grab Bruce’s bicep. His eyes are wide behind his mask as a realization hits him. “It was a bisexual flower, B.”
Or... Tim's smaller stature compared to the rest of his family results in him being carried a lot, it also results in them messing with him just for the fun of it

Summary
Instinctual fight or flight having Jason and Tim’s feet backing up, arms beginning to raise to their sides defensively. As if that would save them from the monster they've created. Damian stares, completely baffled, as the two boys edge towards the elevator while Tim rambles endlessly like an auctioneer on crack cocaine.
In hindsight, he should’ve immediately followed their lead with the slow retreat.
Or... Jason, Tim, and Damian test Dick's patience. When the oldest sibling finally cracks, he hunts them down one by one to enact revenge for their troubles

Summary
Jason sweeps the toddler up into his arms, his expression amused as the boy squeals gleefully and squirms in his hands. “Little trouble maker,” he murmurs, voice raspy from disuse, but he is getting better with his words each day.
Damian’s tiny, chubby hands plant firmly on Jason’s cheeks, eyes bright as he stares up at the boy like he hung the stars. “‘Akh!” he claims loudly.
Jason’s whole face melts into something unbearably fond. He kisses Damian’s cheek just to hear the boy laugh again, taking pride that he was able to produce a sound so pure. “Yes. It’s ‘akh.”
Or, Damian doesn't remember much about when Jason Todd was in the League of Assassins with him. Jason does, and he remembers it fondly

Summary
“You are still affected by these… ‘online comments’.”
Well, it wasn’t like he could lie to this blue magnet stuck to his back. It was symbiotically connected to his mind.
“Yeah,” he sighs, tossing his phone onto his duvet and scrubbing a hand down his face.
“...Can I offer you a nice missile in this trying time?”
A startled bark of laughter escapes Jaime, abruptly yanked out of his spiral. His hand lifts from his face, turning his head to the left in a way of ‘looking’ at the scarab. “Did you just- you just quoted Dani DeVito. What the hell, man?”
Or, after the events with Victoria Kord, Jaime discovers not everyone is stoked about the return of Blue Beetle. Lucky he's got a friend close by to lighten his spirits.

Summary
“What the hell are you doing?” Percy asks, bewildered and slightly on edge.
“You said we could try and loosen you up,” Vex answers.
“By wrestling me to the dirt and pinning me down?”
“Oh no, we just had to get you in a better position, dear heart,” Vax smirks.
“A better pos- for what?”
The bemused and exasperated question only delights his captors further, and this is where Percival Fredrickson de Rolo the Third realizes a very fatal error. He had been encouraging the chaotic force that was the Elf Twins. He'd practically been asking for trouble.
Or... Percy refuses to relax so Vex and Vax help him with that

Summary
Hobie nodded at the end of Miles's speedy rambles, patting his back gently. "Hover parenting, huh? Sounds like a damn nightmare."
Miles grumbled and flopped back onto the couch, crossing his arms tightly. "Yeah… I’m just worried that if I tell them to back off they'll be offended and ground me."
"Just like the government," Hobie clicked his tongue, "always trying to make the people do what they want and punishing the lot of them when they rebel."
Or, Miles jumps into Hobie's dimension to get a break from his parents and gets more than he bargained for from crashing at the Spider Punk's house

Summary
"Something wrong?"
"I don't know," Jack frowns, glaring down at the book like it personally offended him. "My brain doesn't like words."
A smile twitches at Sam's lips, settling back in his chair as he watches Jack squint at the thick book. "What do you mean?" He asks gently.
"Well, I'm reading," Jack slowly explains, running a finger along the text. "But I'm not taking in anything, my brain keeps getting distracted. It doesn't like words."
Sam chuckles a bit, crossing his arms and leaning back in his chair. "You mean you're bored?"
Jack pouts, honest to god pouts. "...I think so," he mutters.
Or, Dad!Sam finds a way to make research less boring for Jack

Summary
“Just don’t tug any of the feathers out, Dean. It’s not molting season yet.”
“You guys molt?” Dean repeats in surprise, looking from the wing to Cas, eyebrows high as he searches the angel’s face for any sign of jest.
Cas nods. “Of course. It’s a yearly experience, we have to do it to have healthy wings.”
Dean scoffs, but it’s in disbelief, not malice. “Wow.” He mutters, returning his gaze to the feather-endowed appendages. “You guys really are like birds, huh?”
Cas rolls his eyes and lightly smacks Dean in the face with the wing, pushing down a grin when the man splutters and pushes away from the offending limb.

Summary
“Dean, I am going to kill you,” Sam swears, trying to look serious - but with his anticipatory smile and bright eyes, it was difficult to seem threatening.
Dean snorts. “Uh-huh, sure.”
Then, with the engrained speed of a trained hunter, Dean fakes out a fast step to the right and causes Sam to take off to the left around the table - straight into Dean’s awaiting trap. Realizing his error immediately, Sam yelps and tries to backpedal in a panic, but Dean leaps forward and wrestles him onto the carpet before he can even hope to escape.
“Goddamnit!”
Or, Sam and Dean finally get a moment of levity for once in their hectic lives

"God Mikey, that was awful." He wiped at his eyes, giving his younger brother a warm grin, only to blink at the wide eyed stare the orange clad turtle was giving him.
"What?" He looked at everyone else and seemed to shrink in on himself under their mutual staring contest with him. "What? What's wrong?"
April was the first to get over herself. She smiled gently and shook her head, "Nothing's wrong, Leo," she reassured. "It's just been a while since we heard that."
"Heard what? A joke?"
"No," Donnie's shocked expression had melted into a fond look. "Your laugh."
"...Oh."
Or, while Leo recovers he gets to spend more time with his family and let's his guard down for the first time in a long while

Summary
Crosshair grumbled, and with his spare hand, he dragged his fingers over his face and scowled. “Aren’t you ever tired?”
“Nope.” Omega popped the ‘p’ for good measure, grinning at her brother smugly. “Now say something nice or I’ll never sleep!”
It was like making a deal with Satan.
“You’re a terrible child.”
Or, Crosshair is put in charge of putting Omega to bed. It goes about as well as you'd expect

Summary
Echo gripped at his head, wincing at the feeling of the cybernetic tech piece wrapped around his skull. Wrong. It was all wrong. He wanted out. Out of the metal prosthetics, out of this body, out of this suffocating room-
Something heavy and soft suddenly dropped over his shoulders, wrenching a startled gasp out of him as he jolted to look up. Crosshair was standing at his side with a flat expression.
“Breathe Reg, you’re going to pass out,” he sniped, crouching down beside the rack that Echo was sitting on. “I don’t want to have to catch you if you fall.”
Or, Crosshair helps Echo through a panic attack and Echo discovers the softer side of the sniper
