Summary
“Why does she call you that?”
Akira blinked. “Huh?”
“Guinea pig.” Goro fixed him with a look, his expression completely unreadable, his voice quiet and emotionless. “Why does she call you that?
Something uneasy settled into Akira’s stomach as he looked into those maroon-brown eyes. “I, well, back during the Phantom Thieves, she and I had, yknow, a deal.”
“A deal,” Goro repeated impassively, turning away to look at the tile on the far side of the subway. If anything, he seemed even more stiff, face darkening. “One of your deals.”
------
Two years after the fall of the Metaverse, Akira and Goro get all dressed up to go see Goro's favorite musical, but a chance encounter with a certain doctor causes old wounds to resurface.

Summary
The first thing Ryuji was aware of was the cold touch of wet grass pressed to his face. The scent of it, coupled with the flavor of dirt and salt on his tongue.
He was freezing.
He moaned and rolled himself over onto his back. He could barely breathe, his heart pounding like a mallet swinging against his ribs. He blinked through hazy wet eyes, struggling to focus on anything. Above him was the gray dark haze of city lights on a blanket of cloud cover. His ears rang, a piercing shrill that blocked any other sounds that could be around him.
His first coherent thought was, Wow. I’m not dead.” But he couldn’t quite piece together why he was so certain he should be. He honestly was more than happy to just lay there, find his breath again (why was he so short of breath?) and wait for someone to find him (where were the others? Where was he?).
And then the pain hit.

Summary
Clark heard it just as he stepped out the front entrance of The Daily Planet’s building. The sun had already set, a chilly autumn breeze dragging through his coat. It had been a late evening for him, catching up on drafts for his next few articles before some other emergency stole his attention from his work.
“Kal-el.”
He straightened, perking towards Gotham. Something cold gripped his heart as he listened for that familiar heartbeat. The voice was unmistakable; low, rough, and steady, one that grounded Clark almost as quick as Ma’s. In battle, hearing it usually meant there was a plan, that Clark could worry a little less about details; because the man he trusted the most – with his life and the lives of his family – had it under control. It soothed Clark when he faltered, bolstered him when his strength wavered, and steadied him when he teetered on the edge of sensory madness.
And that voice sounded afraid.
Clark was suited up and hurtling through the air towards Gotham before Bruce whispered again.
“Kal–” came his quiet gasp. “I’m sorry.”

Summary
“I put in work with the last one,” he says, trailing a gloved hand along the restraints. “Sweat. Effort. A whole emotional arc! A real explosive performance. And what does Batsy do? Goes and gets himself a new model like nothing happened.”
Joker stops in front of him.
"So, this time, I'm not just going to break his toy," he says pleasantly, before his chin lowers and his eyes flash darker than a human's should, "oh, no, no. I'm going to break you - and then remake you."
He reaches out, flicks Tim’s forehead.
"To be all mine."
Joker doesn’t want Robin dead.
He wants him remade.

Summary
What once was Conner’s fear of rejection has now become Clark’s. Between them lies a fragile distance—too gentle to be called estrangement, too tense to be comfort. Yet beneath it, something patient and hopeful begins to grow.

Summary
After everything that happened around the time Clark found out the truth about his biological parents, he's been doing his best to... just exist. To take care of everything, however he can, and he thinks he's been doing really well. But it seems he just can't catch a break.
______________
"Clark became aware in waves. He heard someone talking. Minutes later, he felt his bare back touch could metal. The world went fuzzy, and then snapped back into focus as he screamed in pain. He looked around and could barely see, couldn’t make sense of the bright room that he was in. Nothing made sense. He felt himself be pulled back under, drifting away into unconsciousness again."
