Damian could hear noises around him, loud beepings...machines. Someone was holding his hand; their hand was bigger than his. The hand was too slim to be his Father; the callouses showed hours of hard work. It was definitely Richard's hand. He always held his hand so gently.
He remembered what had happened. At least, in pieces, the sense of denial and horror still lingered in the back of his mind. Damian knew that he was blind, knew that his life had been drastically changed.
But he had to admit, his life had been changing for months now.
Damian shouldn't be surprised.
He's been going downhill for months now.
His hope to get better has diminished significantly now.
How can he jump back from this?

i strongly believe that in any universe modern or otherwise lwj uses lan xichen as a kind of confessional like a catholic priest. he literally comes into lan xichen's room at four pm precisely because that's the scheduled time that he allows himself to share an Emotion with his brother and sits down and says in a distinctly monotone yet perfectly recognisably anguished tone 'brother i have sinned' and lan xichen sighs very quietly because he doesn't want to hurt his brother's feelings and puts down his pen and says 'is this about wei wuxian' very gently and Lan Wangji is like 'mn' because it has never once Not been about wei wuxian. and then he says something that is Kind Of Weird, But Still Not A Sin like 'he fell asleep when we were studying and i watched his ribcage moving up and down for thirty eight minutes until he choked on nothing and woke himself up; am i evil' and once again lan xichen will kind of not-sigh in a way that makes it very obvious that in all other ways except physical he Is, Indeed, Sighing and has to reassure the most rigidly distraught younger brother in the history of mankind that what he is suffering from is in fact a malady known colloquially as a crush

Slowly, his limp pronounced but his back straight, Kaz made his way down the final flight of stairs, leaning heavily on the banister. When he reached the bottom, the remaining crowd parted.
Haskell’s grizzled face was red with fear and indignation. “You’ll never last, boy. Takes more than what you got to get past Pekka Rollins.”
Kaz snatched his cane from Per Haskell’s hand.
“You have two minutes to get out of my house, old man. This city’s price is blood,” said Kaz, “and I’m happy to pay with yours.

Jason arrived in the Batcave, his motorcycle wheels squealing against the floor. He took his helmet off and hurried to his unconscious brother.
Damian had tear-stained cheeks with multiple cables connected to his chest and head. Dick and Bruce were in the corner, bickering with each other, getting more heated as time passed. Jason's fist tightened as he scoffed, grabbed a towel, and went to the sink. He soaked the towel in warm water as he twisted the excess water out. Then, Jason made his way back to Damian with a small sigh as he began to clean Damian's tear tracks gently.
"What the fuck happened?" Jason hissed out softly as he tried not to be disturbed Damian.
Dick stopped bickering and looked at him. His hair was messy, and his eyes were red. Dick just kept looking at him and not answering him.
"Dick," Jason snapped at him, putting the towel down, "what's going on?"

Can we talk about how the kids get beds while Henry and Joel just sleep on the floor right outside of the room while they’re literally in a motel where I’m sure there’s more beds around

"Up. Up from the earth they come; dead women who only wanted to raise their children in safety...these are the flowers of guilt. This is the harvest that I have raised. Oh, God. Oh, God, there are so many of them. Perhaps...perhaps they will understand. Perhaps they will understand my vision, my guiding star, so bright and high that it took a mountain of butchered children to reach it... All glory. All glory to Magneto. My soldiers are gone. I am alone with the dead. They touch me, and I know what I am. I know what I have taken from them. The hands of the dead are upon me and I do not even have the right to scream."
Magneto, suffering a nightmare and confronted by those killed by him in the past, Heroes For Hope
