Summary
“This isn’t the Court,” Bruce tells him, for what has to be the millionth time. “It isn’t.”
Dick is still wrapped in the blanket, clutching it close to his skin, and he looks away, pinning the ground with his gaze, until he finally meets Bruce’s eyes like he’s facing his biggest fear. He speaks hoarsely. “Where are my parents?”
“They’re —” Bruce falters. “They’re dead.”
He doesn’t react. “Was it the Court?” His voice shakes.
While fighting the Court of Owls, Bruce encounters a newly indoctrinated Talon and acquires his first child.

Summary
“Hey, it’s okay,” Phil whispered, holding his hands out to show they were empty. “We’re not gonna hurt you, kiddo.”
The kid blinked, doubt filling his eyes, and Phil couldn’t blame him. He and Techno weren’t exactly the friendliest-looking guys around.
When Phil’s eyes fell to the ground again, he noticed two things sitting near the kid’s feet. One was a heavy silver dagger, inlaid with intricate carvings of the same symbol that decorated the cultists robes. The second was another torn page, and this time, Phil only needed to see one word on it to realize what he and Techno had stumbled in on.
Sacrifice.
“You were going to be their sacrifice, weren’t you?” Phil whispered, horror seeping into his tone as he stared at the terrified child in front of him.
or, while exploring a tomb filled with monsters, Phil and Techno accidentally interrupt a cult meeting. Somehow they get a kid out of it.

Summary
Yes. Wilbur had to bite his tongue to keep the answer from spilling out of his mouth, because yes he wanted more. Of course he wanted more. He wanted to be more than the bastard prince. He wanted to be more than a mistake his mother made before she married Tommy’s father.
But that wasn’t the role he had been cast for in his life.
“It doesn’t matter,” Wilbur said instead. “When Tommy turns eighteen he’ll be crowned King, and I will be his advisor. He’ll be a good king, I’ll make sure of it.”
or, as the bastard prince of the planet of Eldingvegr, Wilbur has always known he was never meant for greatness. That was his younger brother's destiny. Wilbur's job was simply to try and make sure Tommy could fulfill that destiny.
That becomes decidedly more difficult when the brothers are betrayed, and are forced to flee their home planet. With the Essempi Empire being one of the largest imperial powers in the universe, the only place that can offer them refuge from Emperor Dream is Zephys IV—capital planet of the Antarctic Empire, ruled by the ruthless Emperor Philza.

Summary
“Okay, so… why are you holding my joint?”
Tommy glanced at the joint again before shrugging. “Weed helps anxiety, right?”
Wilbur blinked. “Uh, usually, yeah.”
“Alright, then.”
Suddenly, Tommy was stuffing the joint in his hoodie pocket, and walked over to Wilbur’s closet. Next thing Wilbur knew, there was a jacket being thrown in his face, followed by the nearby thud of what he guessed was Tommy throwing his shoes at him.
Yanking the jacket off his face, Wilbur glared at his little brother. “What is this?”
“What do you think, dumbass?” Tommy asked, gesturing to the jacket and shoes now sitting on the floor in front of Wilbur. “We’re going out.”
or, freshly home from university for the summer, Wilbur has a panic attack over his grades. Good thing Tommy is there to pull him out of his head.
