Summary
"Somehow the Mets had a dildo in one of their lockers yet you’re still trending on Twitter,” Evelyn says as she shuts her laptop.
“Great,” Ginny mumbles as the bartender does a doubletake at his boss when he picks up on that last sentence. She hasn’t been in a restaurant in such a long time that the emptiness of the place before opening feels more welcoming than anything has in a long time.
“The San Diego media isn’t the same as the New York media. It’ll blow over soon enough,” she says as she pulls out her phone. “Any run ins with Mike?”

Summary
“You shouldn’t be alone tonight, Owen.”
Loneliness had followed him for the last six years. At least since the second divorce. It was nothing new. They were on pretty good terms, actually.
“Owen…” Michelle said, snapping Owen out of his trance. “You’re not okay.”
[or three ways to say I love you]

Summary
“Mr. Stark’ll know, Peter,” Tony hears Peter’s friend—Ned, he thinks his name is—ask with all the seriousness a fifteen year old can muster.
“Ned, do not…”
“What? Questions about puberty? Yes, it’s normal—“
“Mr. Stark, is a hot dog a sandwich?”
Tony takes off his sunglasses. It’s too early for this shit.

Summary
“You’re bleeding,” Robby informs him. It comes out too casual.
“I am aware.”
Robby rubbed at his forehead tiredly, face scrunching. God, I miss Pittsburgh, he thinks distantly. At least home didn’t have idiots running around in leather. Or well, those idiots where just fetishes, not… whatever Batman was. “You planning to just… loom until it clots?”
“Leslie said-”
“Leslie’s not here. Sit down before you fall down.”
To his surprise, Batman obeys.
---
In the aftermath of No Man's Land, Robby is part of the many medical personnel sent in to Gotham help with the relief effort.

Summary
Alice Abbot, née Randolph, had died on December 3, 2019. At 10:34 in the morning. Jack knows, because he’d been the one to declare her dead. Quietly, in his own head, fingers pressed on his wife’s pale neck, checking for a pulse.

Summary
It had been thirty years since his truck tires rolled out of her drive for the last time. Even longer since the day his locker door slammed shut beside hers and marked the beginning of Jack Abbot.
Beth had never expected it to end. Never expected to live a lifetime with only the ghost of the boy who promised her one together.
She never expected to see him again. Until that curtain flung open, and there he was.
And just like that, Jack Abbot began again.

Summary
They aren’t his family, not in the traditional sense. But the idea that they might be, that they could be, unsettles him more than he wants to admit. It’s the same quiet dread that hit him when Collins said he had helped raise Amy. He doesn’t know why exactly. Maybe because imagining them as a family implies imagining him and Jack as something. And that’s just absurd, right?
Or: Robby has been a quiet constant in the lives of Abbot and his daughter, filling a space that was never clearly named. As they drift into their fifties, he begins to recognize that his feelings for Jack may have deepened into something real and perhaps impossible. Now he’s left wondering if this almost-family could ever truly be his.
