Summary
Damian went missing, but Jason (accidentally) found him. Now look - just ‘cause Damian was all traumatised, broken and exhausted, did not make him Jason’s problem. He rescued the tiny pest, now the other idiots can deal with looking after him… if only the rest of the family weren’t stuck in the Cave.
To put it bluntly, Jason would’ve taken playing nurse to Timmy over the demon brat he barely knew.
But the issue was, it’s hard to ignore the little shit when he’s unable to act like a little shit ‘cause of all the pain and… dammit, Jason’s gonna end up having to hug the crying brat, isn’t he?
Ugh, it’s so annoying being such a good brother.

Summary
“Look at me,” Jason said. Not a command. Just quiet, grounded instruction.
Dick let him. He didn’t fight it.
Jason turned his head to one side, then the other. Checked his pupils. Tracked his eye movement. Touched under his jaw like he was feeling for a pulse. The contact should’ve felt weird—it was Jason—but it didn’t. It felt like something between a battlefield check and a brother’s worry.
Jason’s brow furrowed deeper. “Because there was a shit ton of leftover fear toxin in that building,” he said finally, voice controlled and low. “You didn’t smell it?”
“I mean…” Dick hesitated, trying to recall. “There was a chemical smell. I thought it was just oil or rust.” He blinked. “Oh. Is that why the hallucinations were worse this time?”
Or Dick doesn't realizes he's been effected by fear toxin and spills to everyone that he's been hallucinating.

Summary
Tim was terrified. There was no denying it. He stood in front of Jason’s apartment door, shivering and soaked to the bone, clutching his school bag. Jason was not going to be happy once he opened the door and saw him there – Tim knew that. But this was his only option.
There was no way he could go to the manor. Tim couldn’t face Bruce like this.
OR: Tim gets a "bad" grade and panics

Summary
“‘s the drugs. I did drugs,” Dick slurs, and then collapses to the ground.
Jason pulls up the collar of Dick’s uniform, exposing the familiar skin Jason can’t ever seem to run far enough from. Track marks, a blown vein, ecchymosis. Needles.
And just like that, everything comes back to a bathroom in Crime Alley. Jason has been here before, and he doesn’t ever want to do this again. He knows what this is. He fucking knows.
or Robin!Jason rescues Nightwing after Blockbuster’s murder, crashes the getaway car, and then has to keep them both alive as Dick overdoses on whatever-the-fuck those bad guys gave him. Given Jason’s history with drugs (and with Dick revealing things he wouldn’t willingly reveal about the Blockbuster incident), things go to shit pretty quickly.

Summary
Light footsteps, soft rustling of fabric. A thump against one of the other doors in the hall, like a foot or an elbow, followed by a quietly snarled curse.
Damian lets out an irritated sigh.
He jerks the door the rest of the way open, fixing a glare into the dim light of the hall. “It is four in the morning,” he hisses at the small shadow now frozen in the doorway across and one down from his own, wide eyes staring back at him in the moonlight. “You understand that the time after patrol is intended to be for sleep?”
Todd hunches his shoulders. Were he a cat, his back would be puffed up defensively. “Then go to bed,” he hisses. “It’s not my fault you have freaky bat hearing!” His eyes dart nervously towards Father’s door at the end of the hallway.

Summary
There were dates in the margins. And Damian noticed something peculiar.
The drawings stopped around the time he joined the family.
“You draw,” he said one evening, when they were both working late at the cave again.
Tim glanced up, blinking. “What?”
“You used to draw. All the time.”
There was a beat. A flicker of recognition in Tim’s eyes—then a shrug.
“Not really anymore.”
-Or when Tim learns that he is also matter.

Summary
"M-My dad said you, you’d,” the kid says, swallowing. “That if I didn’t, that if I didn’t behave, he’d sell me to you. And you, you would…”
The shock burns away immediately; the ashes condense into a murky, muted sort of rage.
He stays still for a long moment, then pulls himself up against the wall. “Okay,” he says monotonously, taking a step toward the kid, and the kid- flinches. He flinches.
Jason reels back, not speaking yet, not trusting himself not to yell. And when he does speak, he says:
“Come on, kid. Let's go say hi to your dad."

Summary
Tim is grateful Hood leaves promptly, in any case, because that means he doesn’t see Tim crawl the last few feet into his house.
[Jack and Janet die uneventfully— at the hands of a home intruder, at 3:41 in the morning on a Thursday. Two gunshots. Tim’s entire world comes to a screeching halt at 3:44, when he finds their bodies.]
