Summary
“What do you have here?” Hood asks, having pushed through the crowd to stand in front of Tim, studying him from where he towers over him. Hood sounds amused, and that immediately dashes any hopes Tim has of this being an undercover mission to infiltrate or whatever and not him dealing with traffickers and happening upon Tim in the most disadvantaged situation possible.
Asshole number one grins. Even though Hood’s helmet turns away to look at him, Tim can’t rip his eyes away. Can’t even blink. “Red Hood! Didn’ know you were gonna show up. That right there is a surprise. As soon as the Big Guy gets here, we’re gonna tell everybody about it.”
“A surprise, huh?” Hood drawls. The way the helmet puts an edge on his voice is just as horrifying as it was a few months ago. That voice echoes in the nightmares that keeps Tim awake and shaking at night. “What’s the deal?” He shifts closer.
“Woah, don’ touch the merchandise yet, there, buddy.” Number one protests.
Tim feels cold wash over him at the word. Merchandise. That heavily implies he’s being sold.
Hood catches onto the word as well. “Merchandise?” He questions, an interested lilt decorating the last syllable.
Fuck. -

Summary
Bobby Nash wasn’t sure what he had expected from his first foster child. Maybe he thought Evan would be some sort of teenage delinquent. Maybe the kid would think he was too old to be parented or be mean to May and Harry. Maybe he would run away or try to get moved to a different home. Maybe he would be nothing but trouble and make Bobby and Athena regret fostering in the first place. They should have just stuck to the plan and gotten a younger kid like Athena had wanted.
But what Bobby didn’t expect was for the social worker to show up at their house at nine o’clock at night. He didn’t expect for the kid by her side to simultaneously look way too young for 14 and at the same time so much older. Evan was curled in on himself, making him seem far smaller than he should be but the fear and wariness in his eyes was something far too mature for him. Bobby didn’t expect for his first foster child to stand there on his porch, shivering in the pouring rain with nothing but a sweatshirt and a blooming black eye on his face. But what he certainly didn’t expect was for the kid to worm his way into his heart so quickly.

When Jason found the underground bunker, he initially went in with the expectation of liberating some supplies from a bunch of weirdos Bruce had locked up last week. He didn't expect it to turn into a rescue mission.

Summary
"Azula’s answering grin is bitter and horrible and broken as she leans in close to Aang’s face and says, ‘Listen Avatar, I can either join your group, or I’ll do something unspeakably horrible to your friends. Your choice.’”
OR: After Zhao’s failed siege, Zuko and Iroh are captured. A few weeks later, Ozai receives a ransom from the Northern Water Tribe signed in Zuko’s blood. Unfortunately for the Firelord, Zuko’s safety is all Azula cares about.
OR: Unfortunately for Sokka, that means the Gaang has not one, but two unstable, broken fire siblings to deal with. Y’know. Once they break Zuko out of prison. Because this is not a situation that calls for torture (probably. HE'S still on the fence about it, screw Aang and Katara and their stupid morals and how much he agrees with them)

The newest of the Bat’s little fish had been caught in a net.
He was going to the highest bidder.
