Summary
Christopher starts shaking more violently then. “Buck jumped back in the water for me.”
There’s a protocol for a lot of scenarios, both in the Army and as an EMT. Eddie is used to knowing what to do, and how to do it; who to help, and where. Yet now, hopelessness splits through him like a bullet. Eddie doesn’t know what else to do other than hold his kid tighter and press his lips to his temple.
“Is that– Christopher?” Hen asks over his shoulder. The tiny pocket of universe that he’s created with just him, his son, and Buck’s name battering in his chest unravels.
Still keeping Christopher in his arms, Eddie rises to his feet. “I made Buck watch him for the day to get him out of the house. He– he brought him to the pier.”
“Where is he, Eddie?” Bobby asks carefully.
There’s a protocol for a lot of scenarios, both in the Army and as an EMT, but not for this.

Evan Buckley can’t look his best friend in the eye and tell him he failed, so he doesn’t. He stumbles around a drowning wasteland looking for the brightest little boy he’s ever known, and when he can’t find him, he just… keeps on walking.

Summary
They had spent hours and hours drilling and preparing the servers upon the importance of everything being perfect for the new fire lord. This was fine. Jin was good at her job. She could handle one fire lord.
Expect that wasn't the fire lord. That was FUCKING LEE! -

Summary
Danny Fenton goes to Gotham for a few days. Due to the way he looks, everyone assumes he's a new Wayne Kid. Miscommunications follow.
You would think that a family of detectives would be immune to this sort of thing. You would be wrong.

Summary
Bruce doesn’t often think about the nascent pack bond between him and Tim.
It’s just...there, as it has been for a while now, and when he thinks too hard about it he remembers that it scares him.
He notices when it snaps.
He’s in the manor when it happens, a cup of coffee in his hands as he stretches his legs on his way back to his office. He’s not thinking about anything important, absently running through the quarterly reports in his head for the meeting he has in the next hour.
The bond, a tiny shadow of a presence in the back of his mind, dissolves into hollowness.
