    Summary

    The only word Bruce can come up with to describe the infected is feral. Human beings are driven by their innermost desires and fears, reduced to nothing but animal instinct. The infection robs one of their inhibitions. They revert to their core traits: greed, need, hate, fear, desire. The crazy become crazier; the self-haters kill themselves. Resentful parents throw their children off bridges or drown them in the bathtub. Enemies rush at each other’s throats with whatever weapons they can get their hands on.

    No one can lie, no one can hide. No masks. No pretenses. It’s utter chaos.

    Summary

    OP Summary: Tim Drake is settling into his new role as Robin, learning what it is to be part of a family, and slowly healing day by day. With the addition of Cass to the family, and then of Stephanie Brown as well, things go pretty well for a while for the Waynes, despite the new difficulties Tim, Cass, and Steph are all navigating with their respective parents. But in an international plot to take down Gotham city, a whole lot of Batdad taking care of traumatized kids, and a serious epidemic where no one is safe anymore, and it’s going to take everything the Batfam has if they're going to save Gotham this time.

    In true Bruce fashion, Batman left Gotham for Paris on a simple “help Diana with a stolen artifact and meet a couple business clients as a cover” mission and somehow returned four days late with two cracked ribs, a box of authentic French fruit tarts, and a whole entire child following him off of the plane.
