Summary
In the aftermath of a traumatic incident, Liz can't quite trust that she's safe. To make matters worse, some very old traumas have come back to haunt her.
"Dammit, Bruce…” Jason swears. “So he didn’t tell you she’s fucking terrified of you right now? That she thinks you’re gonna touch her in ways she doesn’t want, by claiming it’s ‘medically necessary’?!”
It takes a lot to stun Dev into silence, but that seems to’ve done it. Jason lets him process – it’s a fucking horrible thought, and Dev needs to think through all the nasty implications. He needs to know exactly how scared Liz is feeling.
“Shite,” Dev finally breathes. “I’m going to strangle Wayne.”

Summary
Kagami's just a kid from the Bowery. What the hell does she know about Gotham's elite?
It's been two weeks since her second official semester as a student of Gotham Academy, and she's still not used to this place. But she's survived eight and a half years in Gotham's public schools, so she'll grit her teeth and keep her head down.
Three more to go, and then she's free from this private school and its sky-high tuition, and its snobby students, and its many mysteries.
Oh, and maybe that Damian Wayne guy isn't too bad. Maybe.

Summary
Bruce hadn’t meant to start thinking of Liz as one of his daughters.
She’s an adult. She already has a father, a decent one, even.
But her father isn’t here and she’s the same age as Jason. Bruce thinks of how he felt with Jason halfway across the country with the Kents, and how grateful he was to Jonathan and Martha for taking care of him.
If Liz’s father is as decent as she says, Bruce decides he probably wouldn’t mind if he takes the girl under his wing.
Just a little bit.

Summary
Liz struggles with the fear that people will get angry at her for needing help, and her own inability to differentiate between problems she can handle alone and the ones she really shouldn't.
Dev comes up with an unorthodox solution.“I have come up with a stupid, time-wasting question for you.”
Dev looks up from the journal article he’s reading on the med bay’s computer, and he doesn’t seem upset – only curious. “What’s that, then?”
“I have obtained a paper cut. I am asking that you take a look at it. Because this is a stupid, time-wasting thing I could totally do myself and you promised you wouldn’t get mad.”Series

The "Pit Rage" isn’t actually a side effect of Jason’s dip in the Lazarus Pit. Or… not entirely. It’s a tool that Ra’s carefully developed before deploying him to targeted effect against Batman. Unfortunately, its intended results wore off too quickly, once away from his influence. This time, he plans to get it right.
