Summary
John isn't quite sure of his role in the new and fragile team he's ended up with after getting used to being assigned one all these years as a soldier and a shadow operative.
Everyone else seems to fall into some designation or other—leader, strategist, moral compass, father figure, muscle—all of them pieces falling in a puzzle that John can't seem to fill because the others fit better, and the thought slowly pushes him into a frustrated despair.
John spirals, becoming one with the sofa. He doesn't know that something else is wrong with him. Something darker and more sinister.
--
John wakes up in a cold sweat, drawing deep, labored breaths, feeling like his chest is about to cave in.
His bloodshot eyes focus, and with it comes the chilling realization.
A sinister shape, pitch black, is straddling him, a figure so utterly devoid of light that it's silhouetted by the already dark background that is his room.
It only takes a second for him to catch on. He's seen this figure before, hovering above New York the day Bob transformed into Sentry.
"You show such willfulness, John Walker, clinging to your own darkness for so long."

Summary
"Superman," Lex says. His hands move nimbly as he treats his wound. "I almost killed him today. It's always an almost. It's stupid. Why doesn't he just die?"
He swallows and opens his eyes to look at him. "And that would make you happy?"
Lex looks at him. Slowly, directly. "I don't know," he admits, then makes a brief, small face, as if he's considering the bad instead of the good, as if he's already doing the math in his head—he probably already is. "But I'd sleep peacefully."
"And... would you sleep peacefully if someone you loved died believing you hated them?"
Lex doesn't stop his movements, but watches him with a calm gaze. "What's that about?"
Clark shakes his head. "Nothing. Forget it."
Or: Lex hates Superman, but loves Clark Kent.

"That's just weddings," Bob replied lightly. "Believe me, I've dealt with worse. Granted, it's usually from older women drunk on wine spritzers and romance and not..."
"Big men who want to sleep with you?"
Bob laughed. "I was going to say superheroes, but whatever works."

Or, Bob bartends the Wilson-Barnes wedding.
