** Chapter 3: Zatanna tearing up at the prospect of communicating with her father, Zatarra, through Doctor Fate again. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartWarming.
** Chapter 8: 9-year-old Dick being bullied for his heritage, particularly regarding insults against his mother.
*** The look on his face when Dick realizes Bruce listened to the lie that the bullies were telling and wasn't planning on giving Dick the benefit of a doubt.

*** The principal chews out the parents for defending their sons so quickly, guilt-tripping one of the mothers (who donates and supports the Foundation for Children In Need) to the point of near-tears.
** Chapter 9: Dick is hesitant to interact with other students at first due to the events of the previous chapter, thinking that they will just cause trouble for him. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Thankfully, he is proven wrong almost instantaneously]].
** Chapter 10: Several segments. Iris feeling depressed about not having children, [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre with Wally saying that she is a second mother to him]]. Bruce talking to his parents' grave, wishing they could have met Dick.

Bruce grounding him on false charges so he could handle the bullies by himself, with Dick quietly asking Alfred what he did wrong after the argument.
