Summary
"He's acting fucking crazy," Gabriel continues breathily, wincing when Andrew has to jostle him to open the door to their getaway car. There's a moment when a shadow briefly flies above their heads, and for a second, the two of them hold their breaths.
"Can you blame him?" Andrew whispers after a long while, "We killed his damn kid."
Robin hadn't been seen in months.
People are always curious.

Summary
"I knew his old man, in Blackgate, he was good to me," he finally grumbles, throwing his cigarette bud to the floor, "Kid's a spitting image of him, unfortunately. Just returning the favour."
Isaac snorts, "What's the kid's name?"
Gabriel digs his heel into the cigarette, watching the ash grow grey, "None of your fucking business," he finally announces, turning back to the warehouse
Good luck out here, Jason Peter Todd. You're gonna need it.
(Jason Todd's life, one tragedy at a time.)

Summary
Andrew's eyes are blown wide and unblinking, staring in what looks like pure disbelief into the alleyway.
Gabriel follows his line of sight, frowning.
He's fully prepared to see Scarecrow himself, standing above an evil cauldron dripping with green liquid — or however it is he makes his scare drugs.
Gabriel is not at all prepared, however, to see Bruce Wayne, dressed in a perfectly pressed black suit, lying in a pool of his own blood.
"What the shit," is all Gabriel can manage to blurt out.
(Amidst Gotham's usual chaos, Bruce meets some strangers.)

Summary
"Ugh, fuck," Red Hood groans in pain, trying to stand up only to lose balance and collapse onto the table again, "Your roof made of fucking paper or something?"
Andrew stares down at the vigilante, then up at the massive hole in their ceiling, before finally turning to Gabriel with a scowl, still not entirely convinced this is actually happening, "Gabriel. You told me you fixed the roof three weeks ago, after we had that leak."
Gabriel gapes at him, "That's what you're worried about? Not the fact that the Red Hood just landed on our coffee table?"
(When in Gotham, the chances of Red Hood falling through your roof is slim, but never zero.)
