Summary
“If you knew this city’s history, you’d be cautious,” [Tabitha] said. “Gotham hasn’t been ruled with such ruthless efficiency in almost two centuries.”
“Sure, Bruce and his sideshow hottie are tyrants,” Barbara replied. “At least they’re benevolent ones. I’m not sure you can say the same about your ancestors, and you definitely can’t say it about the Court or your brother—may they rest in pieces.”
“If we ever slip up, there’ll be a price,” Tabitha insisted. “That’s how this kind of thing works.”
“Here’s what’s cool,” Barbara said, patting her hand again. “If we stay in our lane, we’re fine.”

Summary
“I raised the wrong ghosts, and then, by the time I raised the right one, it was almost too late.”
Bruce brushed his fingertips along Jeremiah’s right cheekbone, tracing the memory of a bruise.
“Raising that ghost cost you too much,” he said quietly, “and it’s my fault you went and did it.”
“That’s one way of seeing it,” Jeremiah replied, “whereas I believe the way out was through.”

“Speaking of, did you read to the end of the piece?” Jeremiah replied. “My name comes up.”
“It usually does,” laughed Bruce, exasperated, raising the paper again. “Right alongside mine.”
“Context,” Jeremiah seethed, stabbing his eggs with savagery that shouldn’t have been shocking.
Bruce caught his breath, which told Olga that he’d gotten to the bit even she was surprised about.
“Public speculation has begun to address the notion that Mr. Valeska’s opinion of his late twin, whose final resting place is in Stoker, has changed,” he read aloud. “Otherwise, why not let that specter rest?”
Jeremiah met Bruce’s pensive gaze, looking both vindicated and sorry he’d made such a fuss.
“I thought we had an understanding with Vale. What’s that parting shot supposed to mean?”

“You’re not gonna tell me who your client is, are you?” Jim asked unhappily. “Should I worry?”
“My client has a ton of new dirt on you,” Valerie said with smug poise. “Dirt I handed over.”
Bruce strode into the open, hands in his pockets. Jeremiah followed him, drawing the Zigana.
“It was fascinating dirt,” Bruce said, calm as Jim raised both hands and Valerie folded her arms.
“I wouldn’t push them too far, dear heart,” Jeremiah said placatingly. “Both of them are armed.”
“Commish isn’t,” Valerie said, drawing a gun from her pocket. “Spoil my fun, why don’t you.”

Summary
“I stood there for a long time after Celebrían’s ship sailed, smiling slightly at the vast sway of the sea before me, rocking me to sleep as it swallowed my world whole. I thought, inexplicably, of my father Maedhros — his sea-serpent eyes, his shipwreck eyes. Pitch-black and lonely, as wide and fathomless as the sea. It felt almost serene, standing there, like despairing was just another word for living and that I could get used to it, like my father had done before me.”
_____Elrond, Maedhros, Estel: a strange, cyclical story of fathers and sons, from an old sea-serpent washing up on the shores of Sirion, to a quiet moment by a duckpond in Imladris.
