Summary
Learning to let people be nice to you is harder than it sounds.
Or, Billy's foster family is very weird in a lot of ways, including a tendency to just... spend time together, and a habit of being far more affectionate than any placement he's been stuck with so far. They keep acting like the word 'family' means more than the word 'foster' tacked in front of it, and by the time he decides he wants to belong here, he's worried it might be too late to try. Despite this, Billy tries.

Summary
Freddy is used to being pinned against lockers.
He’s used to the clang of his skull on metal, the way his legs buckle. He’s used to the crushing pressure on his chest or his neck, making his lungs stutter and gasp for air. He’s used to the humiliation and the gleam in his torturer’s eyes as they kick his crutch down the hallway.
He’s used to their talk, their degradation, their insults. He reminds himself that none of it phases him anymore. This time is no different, he thinks.
And he doesn’t believe that at all.
Or,
Why Freddy tells the supervillain where Billy is, because we weren’t given a reason in the movie.

Summary
Philadelphia’s new super-powered marvel of a man had entered Bruce Wayne’s secret underground lair via the stairwell, shouted “Holy shit this is so cool,” and promptly tripped over his own cape. He tumbled head over heels down half the stairs before going through the wall, raining shards of shattered glass down over the room proper, and landed flat on his back with a sickening thud.

Or, how Sir Zaps-A-Lot convinced Superman to have lunch with a nerdy teenager at a random Philadelphia school.
