Summary
With Christopher in El Paso and Mara pulled out of custody, there's a lot of parents around the 118 that are missing their kids, and a lot of comfort that can be found with each other.
_____
“Exactly,” Karen jumped in. “All four of us are going through a lot right now. It’s hard to miss children, especially when you know they’re safe and okay, just not with you.”
“Which is why you wanted the four of us to hang out more?” It was obvious now, to Eddie. He felt a little guilty about it, but he had almost forgotten that Hen and Karen were also missing a child. It was so easy to be wrapped up into just thinking about Chris, Chris, Chris, that the concept that anyone else might also be able to understand what he was going through had completely escaped him.
“Right!” Karen sounded pleased. “I thought if you guys were anything like the two of us, you’re feeling unmotivated, and maybe spending a lot more time lazing around and being sad than you normally would.”
“Lots more to be sad about than usual,” Eddie said slowly.
“Exactly. And I thought that, maybe, the four of us could hold each other accountable. Spend time together once a week and go out and do something.”

Summary
The aftermath of a random alien invasion finds Jason in a bad spot. Like, really horrible, very bad. He's got an injured kid at his feet and a building not actively collapsing above them anymore - this is both a good thing and a bad thing. This is what he gets for actually playing nice with the Justice League for once.

Bookmarker's Notes
There was absolutely no way this sunshine was from Gotham in April.
Not possible.
Which meant, Tim was no longer in Gotham, in April.
(In which Tim finds himself in the past, and tries to do the right thing. It's more complicated than he'd like.)

Summary
The only thing that stops Nightwing from launching himself into the warehouse with a cry of grief and rage is the realization that those kids look awfully familiar.
All three of the boys have black hair. The biggest one, maybe twelve years old, is wearing most of Batman’s uniform, which is sagging and bunching around his small body. The middle sized boy, who doesn’t look any more than five but is probably older if Nightwing’s growing suspicions are correct, is holding his hand and glaring around them defensively. He’s wearing Red Hood’s leather jacket. The largest boy is holding a toddler protectively against his chest.
The toddler’s wrapped in Red Robin’s cape.
Oh, damn.

Summary
Paulina stared, eyes wide. They were at the most lavish, extravagant party she had ever attended in her life, and Sam Manson was here, in neon orange tights, trying to launch a spoonful of caviar like a catapult.
