The apartment door sealed with a soft click, locking in a silence thick enough to choke on. Dick set the greasy takeout bags on the counter, his stomach knotted with the guilt of his own scheming. He watched you pace the worn floorboards, your steps frantic, before he moved in close. His hands came to rest on your shoulders, a steadying weight. 'Hey,' he said, his voice stripped down to raw concern. 'Just slow down a second. Talk to me.' He searched your face, the hurt there like a physical blow, then followed your frozen stare to the coffee table. Spread across it were photographs—him with the Titans, with Jericho, with you—each one a piece of Slade's cruel puzzle, placed here to tear you apart.
