"Black grays and blacker blacks define me. Color was never my style. But the red that pours from my heart and soul? The crimson that washes over me like a wave when a tide rolls in? That was different. It wasn't so much of a color as it was a symbol. And ironically, the only symbol that made me feel alive." It's no secret he was an addict. The guns, the cigarettes, and let us not forget about the alcohol. Drowning in the bottle, burning in the smoke, melting in the heat of the moment, it all seemed to be a part of his nightly ritual. They were his lethal habits. All because of his plagued thoughts. But these fixations, they lead to broken promises. And it's unsettling to know these promises can't even be mended considering such harsh goodbyes... It was the guns, and the alcohol, the cigarettes too. But Jason didn't even realize the most deadly addiction of them all; Temptation.

Steve and his mother spend Christmas Dinner with the Barnes, at Bucky's pleading request. But things don't go quite as planned...

Dad says it's good for business. 'Cause your ex-Marine-daughter marrying someone she barely knows who has a girlfriend, secret life and a dislike for said daughter can only be good. ≠≠ Cleo Perich is put into an arranged marriage with Richard Grayson in order to join Wayne Enterprises and Perich Incorporated. Little does Dick know, she already knows all about him, as during her time in the Marines they met under peculiar circumstances concerning time travel. Put simply, she met his future self. She is doing what that self asked of her; dedicating herself to her marriage. But catching her husbands attention is near impossible; especially when that husband has a particularly angry girlfriend (ex?) named Barbra Gordon, a judgemental family, disapproving friends, a dangerous nightlife and a questionable dislike for her. But Cleo has secrets of her own. Ghosts of her time in the Marines haunt her, causing nyctophobia, narcotic addictions and mental health issues. Will they ever be able to make their marriage work for the greater good?

In which Valentine helps her brother ride out a nocturnal panic attack, confronts some guilt issues of her own, and they both take another baby step towards restoring the closeness they once had. Even if you've never read Ender's Game (by Orson Scott Card; BRILLIANT scifi book)...if you want lots of angst, platonic fluffy goodness and sibling cuddles, this short story is for you. =) A bit self-indulgent, but the idea of Val calming Ender with book references wouldn't go away. This takes place in the middle of "Ender In Exile", but reading that book in the series isn't necessary to get the gist of this. Hope you enjoy it!
