Dan/Rorschach.
Dan loses everything and has to stay with Rorshach - the interplay between the two of them is intricate and complicated and really well-written.
Rorschach has become very still, inkblots drifting slowly between different pseudo-expressions, all of them stern. The kitchen is quiet save for the clock ticking and the periodic gurgle of the coffee percolator. "Can show you how," he says finally.
Dan can usually follow the lateral thinking and occasional disconnect, but he's perplexed this time. "Huh?"
"How to survive," Rorschach clarifies. He stiffens, squaring his shoulders, inscrutable gaze fixed somewhere over Dan's right shoulder. "Can stay. At my place. If you like."
