Summary
That might've been my finest moment," he said with that stupid, proud-of-something-dumb-I-did smile boys did. Then the 350-year-old man giggled. "Although actually, did I ever tell you about the time I convinced Andy the Macarena was a ritualistic French funeral dance?"
"NO."
This day just got better and better.

Summary
Nile was holding a photo up when he lifted his head, and the sight of it gave him a start. He reached out, carefully took it from her fingers, ran his own over the only caption the photo offered: 1958. It was in pretty good condition considering how long it’d been hiding in storage.

Summary
A shudder runs through her at the thought of 'what if Andy didn’t get to me when she did', and she shakes her head under the spray of the water to make it go away.
The one feeling that does stick with her is the loneliness. Even though she’s now surrounded by people like her, they are at minimum hundreds of years older, have so much more life experience, and she–
She doesn’t know where she fits in yet. Especially now that there’s a Booker shaped hole in their group.
or,
A look at Nile a few days after they leave Booker at the edge of the Thames.

Summary
He had no idea how long Quynh had left him dangling from the ceiling. Part of him was glad that she had not felt the need to drown him, the other part resented the indignity of hanging.
——
It's the least Booker can do to not betray his family again. He just wished they knew the sacrifice he was making.

Summary
By the time she turns 21, Nile has accepted it as one of those weird facts of life; sometimes it rains frogs in South America, lobsters can't die of old age, and there's at least three people walking around the Earth (or maybe just Chicago and that little part of Florida) that can't die at all.
or; 5 times Nile met a dead person walking and 1 time she was the dead person walking.

Summary
When they get the first dreams, none of them can make sense of it: darkness, an enclosed space, the smell of earth and old, stale air. No useful clues or even meaningful stimuli to use in figuring out who they’re dreaming of or where they are. The dream remains similarly opaque for the first week, and the frustration grows as they come no closer to understanding. Nile, the most sensitive of the group, gets the impression of terror, and Joe hears a voice screaming a name: Bruce. The name, unfortunately, means nothing to any of them. All of them notice that the subject of the dreams suffocates a couple of times. They don’t really talk about it.
((AKA Jason is one of the Old Guard and that's why he comes back, with the addition of Talia being a good mom and Jason meeting Damian in his time with the league, because I love that trope.))

Summary
“God, he is so old,” Nile laments. “And not even the cool kind of old like Stanley Tucci. He’s just old.”
“He talks like my dad,” Dizzy says, “and that’s not a good thing. Jesus, Nile, Booker’s really got the hots for you, though. All that talk of taking you to concerts and shit.”
“He’s been doing this for months. Keeps asking about what movies I like and what kind of music I listen to. Shit, he even asked if Thai food was my favorite because he noticed I kept bringing it for lunch.” Nile looks up at Dizzy desperately. “I have to tell him that I’m not interested. I can’t keep listening to this shit.”
