Summary
Tim Drake is a solitary creature, whether by necessity or by natural predisposition. But he’s good at being alone. He’s learned to enjoy his own company, to take solace in his own cognizance. Aided by the brisk air of Gotham’s night air and a thrilling sense of independence, Tim learns that some things feel more special when you get to keep them for yourself. Unaccompanied walks down the school halls and singular movie tickets and dinners-for-one aren’t so bad when he can entertain himself with his own thoughts.
Tim has become so good at being alone, he can almost pretend he isn’t desperate for the unconditional love and companionship that a soulmate would guarantee.
It would be nice, Tim thinks, to have someone in his life who actually wants him. Someone who won’t leave every chance they get. Someone who enjoys his presence instead of merely tolerating it. Someone for whom he isn’t an obligation.
Still his wrist remains blank.
Until it doesn't.

Summary
Tim Drake is trying to get along with his father for his deceased mother's sake.
But Jack Drake has bought into some new age cult led by Daniel Maris who believes that a disease will come to Gotham and purge it of sinners. And forcibly relocates them both to some apartment tower complex downtown called Babylon. Which promptly locks down. No one in or out.
This makes everything about being Robin much more difficult.
But Tim is diligent and nothing if not an over-achiever.
Soon, a horrifying sickness hits Gotham, and Tim is doing everything he can to not get sick.
Ultimately, it does not matter how careful you are, the clench will get you. Tim tries his best not to let it kill him. -

Summary
Logically, she must have known there was a surgical scar on his body from his assassination attempt, the one that put him in the crutch he’s currently using. But she never imagined it, and even if she had, she would never had thought of something so… gruesome. It must not have been a clean gunshot. The union of scarred and natural skin looked almost serrated all around. And the size of the scar itself, it was probably larger than the palm of her hand. The skin was discolored to a deep tan, starkly contrasting on his pale skin. Lucy’s throat felt dry.
“Sorry you had to see that,” Tim says with a small smile, looking absolutely unaffected by a stranger seeing a not-at-all-public mark on his body. Despite his words and tone and body language, his eyes looked like they wouldn’t hesitate to cut her open. Exactly the reaction Lucy or any other stranger would expect from calm, cool, collected, and powerful Tim Drake-Wayne. Exactly the opposite reaction anyone else would have if the roles were reversed.

Three times someone found a scar on Tim Drake and the one time he chose to tell them.

Summary
Tim wakes up in the Cave and opens his eyes. He glances around, his heart seizing at what he sees. The cup of coffee Alfred set at his elbow earlier is gone. Based on the undisturbed layer of dust which blankets the surface of the desk, it looks like it was never there in the first place.
“No,” he whispers, throat tightening. This isn’t right.
The feeling that he is somewhere else, somewhere he isn’t supposed to be, grows exponentially as he takes in a hundred tiny differences in his surroundings, from the level of the Batcomputer tech to the contours of the chair he’s sitting in. This wasn’t supposed to happen.
He realizes with a growing sense of horror that if he’s fallen into a new universe again—this time without the impetus of having recently activated the device—then there’s no guarantee it won’t happen again. And again.
Oh, god.
