Summary
Jason's wisdom teeth grew back after the Lazarus Pit. Annoying, but fixable with a quick trip to the oral surgeon.
Running into Bruce and Tim at said oral surgeon's office? Less fixable.
Jason is not mentally prepared for this confrontation. Not now. Not when he tortured the replacement only two months ago. Not when Batman chose Joker instead of him.
Not when they see him in the waiting room and look at him like he's a bomb waiting to explode.But Jason's a lot more honest when he's high.
And Bruce decides he's taking the very-hostile-but-also-very-high Jason back home with him and a very sad-because-he's-confused-by-the-drugs Tim.
What follows is post-anesthesia chaos, involuntary truth-tellingSeries

"Hey...can I ask you something kind of weird?"
"Shoot," Rocky says, his voice sounding amused. "But not actually shoot."
Grace wants to laugh at the joke (he's been getting better at joking and sarcasm) but instead he swallows, his fingers tracing idle patterns on the blanket. The ache from earlier at the classroom, the beach, the constant invisible wall feels closer tonight.
"What does it feel like... to touch you?" he asks. "I mean, if we could. Your carapace. Your claws. What would it feel like to me?"
Rocky is quiet for a long beat. When he sings again, his melody is thoughtful and gentle.
"Hard. Rocky, like name. Like...strong stone that is alive. My claws are sharp but careful. My body pulses a little when I am happy. Like singing Grace can feel instead of hear." He pauses, then adds with a soft, almost shy trill, "What does human skin feel like, question? To me, I wonder."
He imagines it.
In his mind, the xenonite shell vanishes.
Or: Grace is touch starved and Rocky wants to make it better

Summary
“What’s your name?”
Simon was startled for a moment, and pulled his gaze back to Grace. His eyes were soft—not to say they weren’t before, but something had changed.
“Simon.”
Grace smiled. “Nice to meet you, Simon.”Or; The Eridians find a weird submarine alone on a moon and take it back to their human expert.

Summary
Grace is rather pissed with the concept of an impossible. It’s not really professional of him but his same-species colleagues are light years away from here to criticize such responses, so. Grace is pissed.
