Summary
The first thing Jack Wilder noticed about Dylan Rhodes was the way he commanded a room.
It wasn't the kind of charismatic stage presence Danny had, nor the excitement Jack and Henley could foster. Dylan’s authority was heavy, and serious, nothing like the stage and commanding just the same amount of attention.
Jack hated it.
OR- Jack doesn’t really like Dylan at the beginning because hes still too big powerful boss man for him. That changes with some insecurity, to-do lists, movies, and snow

Summary
"Liar."
The word comes out as a low, broken hiss. Jack's face is draining of color by the second, his fingers pressed so firmly against the wall that he's surprised it's not crumbling from the pressure, but he lifts his chin defiantly. "You're…you're lying. No truce. Liar. There's nothin' in it for you, and you want us caught, so—no." He bares his teeth. "Not givin' them up. Gonna have to—to drag me out."
"I'm not lying, kid, I'm on your side—"
"You—you chased me down here." Jack's eyes narrow, sharp beneath the haze of agony. "Not on my side. I'm not giving you anything."
...
Dylan's perfect plan goes a little bit haywire when the fall down the garbage chute ends with Jack being too injured to walk. He pivots, of course, because he always does—but the Horsemen think their youngest member is dead, and Jack thinks that it's his fault that everything went wrong, and Dylan just hopes someone will listen to him long enough to make sense of this.
They're the Horsemen, though. They'll make it out of this just fine.

Summary
Henley knows something's wrong the second that the Mission Impossible score starts singing through her phone.
...
An unknown hypnotist erases Jack Wilder from the minds of the other Horsemen, determined to cut them off at the knees by removing their most versatile member and strike a blow to both their public image and their trust in each other by ensuring they wouldn't believe him at all. Unfortunately for them, they forgot that one Horseman (retired, sure, but you don't steal 3.2 million euros from a Parisian bank just to lose the title forever) isn't in London at all--and Henley Reeves has no intention of letting Jack fall to the wayside.

Summary
“The Greek gods are real.” Dylan spins his fork between his fingers, the motion as easy as breathing, wishing idly that he could bring one of his daggers out instead. He prefers his gun, but an old-fashioned blade is a solid weapon and he’s never been the type to rely solely on one trick. Still, there’s no telling what the Mist would make mortals see. Best not to draw attention to their table of international fugitives. “And the four of you are their children.”
Short, direct, to the point, with little to no room for misinterpretation. His mother would be proud.
It also, he’s realizing, sounds absolutely insane.
...
Dylan Shrike, son of Lionel Shrike and the goddess Athena, realizes that the four magicians he recruited are unclaimed demigods. Getting them to pull off the show of a lifetime is the easy part. Trying to upend their entire worldview over a team dinner, well...that's a little less easy.

Summary
“Battery. Battery, uh—holding-thingy. Wiring was bad. Container blew up when I took the battery out. S’not the battery. No electric–electro—shut-down-everything bomb. Battery’s okay.” There’s another rustle, the sound of pockets being patted, and a sigh of relief. “Kinda smushed, but okay.”
“Are you okay?” Christ, did he think he meant the damage to the battery? He’s got contingencies if they aren’t able to take it, plans to make sure it ends up out of Advantage’s hands even if all they end up with are blueprints and schematics. The con is plenty salvageable without the battery he sent him to steal. The team sure as hell won’t be if Jack dies from a brain bleed or a bomb.
“M’fine. Blew up.”
“He has a concussion,” Daniel says flatly, and Dylan sighs, scrubbing a hand across his face. He’s starting to put that together himself.
“Do not,” Jack says, perfectly indignant. “The—it blew up. And it pushed me. Into the wall.”
...
Jack gets a concussion when a heist goes wrong. Dylan thinks he's getting a headache, too. Everyone else is just along for the ride.

Summary
Alma Dray is dead. At least that's what the news is reporting. A month after the London New Year's Show, the FBI investigation is currently at a standstill. Alma Dray is now brought back into the investigation despite being off it for more than a year. Then poof, she vanishes alongside former Horsemen Henley Reeves. The Horsemen are now confronted with an unknown group, seeking revenge for unclear transgressions targeting them and the people they care about. As confusion grows, Alma is declared dead. The biggest questions that remain are: Can they stop them before anyone else gets hurt? And will they be able to pull of their final act.
“I wonder what they want from you, Agent Dray?” …. “Do you have something they want?” he spoke in a half-whisper.

Summary
“Do you really expect Mabry to show mercy to a dead magician’s son?"
Apprehension flashed across Rhodes’ face, gone almost as soon as it arrived. Walter, clearly annoyed with being ignored, finally stepped in between them.
“Okay, I’m not even going to pretend I know what’s going on here ‘cause I can only assume it’s some sort of twisted love mentor-mentee type bullshit, but the fact is I can’t accept your romantic gesture of self-sacrifice because you don’t have the stick”.
Dylan’s eyes flashed in warning.
And, as usual, Danny ignored it.
He held up the black chip with two fingers.
“Wanna bet?”Or, the one where everything’s meant to go to plan, except Danny’s a stubborn queer disaster.

Summary
AKA 5 Times the Avengers Mistook Dylan Rhodes For Bruce Banner
Steve slowed to a halt. 'Hey, what are you doing here?'
"Bruce" looked up and gave him a cold stare that was entirely un-Brucelike. 'I'm trying to enjoy my coffee. That okay with you?'
Steve was taken aback. 'Right. Uh, okay.'
'Hey, I know you.' His eyes narrowed as he sipped his coffee. 'You're Captain America. Cool. Go have fun doing... whatever it is you actually do all day.'
And Steve was so bewildered that he just gave Bruce a curt nod and jogged off.The Avengers keep bumping into "Bruce" outside the tower, but why does he pretend not to know them? Anyone would think Bruce had a secret twin or something...
