Summary
“Is everything ok, Mr. Howard?” the corpse of Lucy MacLean says politely, “You look a bit…sad.”
Sad? Sad? Cooper has no way to see how he really looks right now, and would rather put a bullet in his own head than find out but the word sad couldn’t possibly cover it, this icy fire stealing over him, this monster in front of him, the uranium thrumming through his blood. The post is through his gut again, he’s impaled and it’s hot, it hurts, it’s all his fault.
“Don’t worry about it, darlin’” he hears himself say from far away, “Was just at a funeral, is all.”
--
Cooper often feels like he’s in two places at once. Like the past is present and the present is past and he can’t do a damn thing to change either of them. No matter what he does it’s like his world is always ending.
But this is still Vegas and the games are all still rigged. And if that's the way it is, he finally decides he doesn't want to play at all.

Summary
“What happened to them?” she asks one evening, into the starlight. It’s always easier to talk at night, like they’re whispering secrets into the dark. He knows that’s why she waits to ask her questions until it gets dark. He can’t blame her for thinking that way. The Catholic Church used to think the same thing, that it was easier to confess if you couldn’t see the person you were confessing to.But he can see pretty well in the dark now. And he can still see her. He’s watching her watch him.
”Who?”
--It would be easier to lie. But now he finds he doesn’t want to lie about it. Lying about it means treating it like the pain of your favorite serial stopping before the end, the author not finishing that series you like, the studio cancelling your favorite soap. And it’s kinda like that, the pain.
It is kinda like that only it’s also your entire life. Your life and all of the people in it.

Summary
”Tonight you will be haunted,” said Roger, “by three spirits.”
Cooper froze. “Oh, hell no. This better not be you trying to pull some fucking Charles Dickens, Christmas Carol bullshit!”
---
And by the third ghost, he was pretty much cured.

Summary
“Vice-Admiral Nelson has remained adamant on the fact that of the pair of thieves, one among its number was Bonaparte himself.”
Mr Stark exclaimed over this fact and Miss Potts fixed Mr Coulson with her steady eyes. “Who was the other?” she asked quietly.“The other was a man who claimed to be a god.”

Summary
Darcy had to say something, anything, to get her to stop looking at her like that. “He’s...” she cleared her throat, then continued bravely, “He’s a good man.”
Maria Hill stared at her levelly. “I know,” she said slowly, “But he’s not always a man.”
