Summary
Jason blinked, then screamed. The hood was down and they were near the road, and with the streetlights there was no way Batman hadn't seen it. And if he had, he knew what it was.
The monster hunter had found another monster.
"Leave me, please, I'm sorry, leave me alone!"
Batman said something. Jason only heard the words "blood" and "death."
He was done for. He couldn't breathe.
Dying really hurt.

Alfred looked at the boy, then at Bruce.
"Again?""I'm not adopting him!" Bruce protested. "He was bleeding! And he stole my tires. I couldn't find his mother."
"You kidnapped a new sibling?" Dick looked out. He saw the Pooka and ran toward Bruce. "You're exuding a lot of... protection, B."
***
Or, like in every universe, Jason steals the tires of the Batmobile, but in this universe, the tires have their revenge. Dick doesn't quite understand what's going on, but this little Pooka is adorable and needs to see The Greatest Showman. It'll work.
The universe hit Bruce too hard. This is not a metaphor. Please, Jason, put that bar down.

Summary
"We came here to ask for your help, beloved."
"We?"
A boy emerged from the shadows. The sunset cast gold on his dark skin and yellow highlights on his green eyes.
Like Thalia, the boy smelled of the sea.
"This is Damian. Your son."
***
"Damian is not an Incarnation. That's worse. He's half-human. His other half is a pure demon. And not just any demon: that boy is a direct descendant of Leviathan."
"Okay" Jason ran a hand through his hair, considering his words. "What do we do?"
"I don't know" Tim admitted. "I'm not sure there's anything we can do. Damian is damned but he is also who he is. You can't save him."
For a moment, Jason seemed distant. It didn't last long. He hugged Tim and rested his head on his shoulder. "He's like us, even though he's biologically Bruce. We'll have to protect him, Tim. He'll only have us, in the end."
***
Also: Talia Al Ghul loves Damian so she leaves him behind just like she did Bruce years ago. Damian's brothers (and Alfred) decide that the brat is theirs now, whether he likes it or not.
Or, the story of how Damian became a Wayne while Jason went home.

Summary
Tim looked like he was going to cry. Jason felt cruel but couldn't stop talking. "People have little flaws, annoying habits, silences and gestures. When you know someone, you see the person in those gestures and silences, where others see chance. That's trust. That's family. You don't trust anyone, Tim. And I can prove it. I know your darkest secret and I have no idea what your favorite color is. You don't trust me. Okay, it doesn't have to be me. But don't say you trust people. That's not true."
***
Or: Tim Drake has fallen in love. Steph is worried, Jason feels bad. Dick is—as he should—walking off a cliff. Ra's Al Ghul is ready to make his move. Duke is too. Bruce is taking people to court. But here's the thing: you can't love without trust and Tim trusts no one.
Three stories of coming out and identity, when being who you are seems simply uncomfortable, not wrong.

Summary
“Did I fail you, Barbs?”
"Yes," the girl said quietly. "You suck."
***
"Guys..." Bruce began.
"I know you don't want to hear about demons, old man, just give us five minutes," Jason said, which set off more alarms in Bruce's head, but...
The smell of gasoline filled the air.
"Down!" Stephanie shouted.
Before he could react, Bruce saw the waffle shop explode.
***
Or the story where Bruce has a plan: to go shopping with his children and his not-children. The Joker also has a plan. Both plans end badly.
Actually, all good things are thanks to Barbara Gordon.Series
