The Joker missed the "good old days", just him, Batman, Harley, and the first Robin. He's grown tired, none of these new Robin's new how to have fun. Where was the banter? Where was the witt? He put time and effort into his traps and the birds gave him nothing to work with. It's fine, good old Uncle Jay decided to do something about it. ------ Dick is de-aged to his mid-season one YJ self. He's highly trained, been doing this for half a decade, and has the scars to back it up. He can't help but be underwhelmed by the attitude of his successors. But Dick doesn't want to deal with that because he's missing over a decade of his life all because of the Joker. He can handle older heroes underestimating his abilities, this is his typical tuesday. Everyone else might not get a choice in the matter as information comes to light that leaves them to rethinking some of their life choices. Except Past-Dick, because as he inidicated before, they are a problem for Future-Dick.

As The Sparrow
As The Sparrow
It’s 1947. Dean is an ex-marine fighting crime and a very different sort of war to the one he faced in the Pacific as a detective on the streets of LA. This city isn’t all the glitz and glamor it’s made out to be, however, and Dean finds himself tugged in to a world of life-threatening unknowns when Daphne Novak’s body is discovered. Castiel Novak, her husband, was one of Dean’s battalion mates in the war, and he's just as deadly and dangerous as he was two years ago when he saved Dean’s life during the Battle of Okinawa. Except now he’s wanted for his wife’s murder, and Dean just doesn’t believe Cas is capable of that. Is Cas really who he says he is, though? And what will Dean have to sacrifice in order to repay the debt he feels he owes?

Dickon remembers how Captain rumbled with pleasure when he was stroked. He can’t help wondering if Mary would do the same.

Jeeves and the Day Off
Certainly Jeeves doesn't ask for very much time off. Ever since the time he returned from an afternoon with his aunt (yes, he voluntarily spends time with an aunt!) to find the absolute cock-up I'd made of a poached egg and toast for tea, I think he may be somewhat reluctant to abandon the fort, to tell you the truth. Sometimes I have to positively order him to take a spot of rest and relaxation, for his own good. So it was on this particular morning, when I thought I detected the slightest hint of a droop in his starch. "Jeeves," I asked from the comfort of my bed, "how long has it been since you took a day off?"
