    Summary

    When Black Mask exacts a revenge plan years in the making, Bruce's only focus is getting his kids out alive. But when one of them is shot, he finds himself launched back into a vicious cycle.

    One he used to selfishly run from.

    ----

     

    “Hey!” Kneading his temples, Bruce turned around. “Going somewhere?” Dick demanded with barely contained fury.
    “No, I–”
    “Damn right you aren’t!” He snarled and stabbed a finger at Bruce’s face. “You don’t get to shut down in your little hideout and pretend like this isn’t fucking happening! Not this time.”

    Summary

    Jason Todd has been dead for almost three years now. Everybody knows this. Tim definitely knows this.

    And yet here he is now, looking very much alive, three years older and approximately 200 pounds heavier, in the middle of lecturing a bunch of sophomores about poetry and having just introduced himself as their new English teacher.

    Bullshit, Tim thinks.

    Summary

    Child neglect isn't all bad, Tim tells himself when his parents sends apologies and mail-delivered gifts and an increased credit line for his 10th birthday. None of the other ten-year-olds have this kind of independence -- even Robin has a bedtime. And he's heard from Ives that his parents limit his "screentime", which sounds quite barbaric. So this is fine, really. He's ten and will be starting eighth grade in the fall. He doesn't need his parents in order to thrive, he can grow on his own, in the shadow of their neglect and inattention. He can be their set-it-and-forget-it kid.

    -----

    Tim is doing great being an independent vigilante, he's fine! He doesn't need help, he's definitely not estranged from the family -- he's just being independent.

    Good thing he's part of a family of detectives who have their own ways of reaching out.

    Featuring two powerpoints, one casefile, half a contract, a roomba, and several hugs.

    Summary

    They shuffled around a little more, Tim trailing Jack like a lost puppy. They must’ve been in the store for half-an-hour, if not more, before Tim glanced at the doors and bit his cheek. Hard.

    Of all the luck.

    It was hard to mistake the height or the build or the shock of white through his hair, even as he did such a mundane thing as shake out his umbrella and grab a basket.

    Should Tim text Dick? Bruce? Babs, maybe?

    As quickly as he thought of it, Tim shoved the idea away. What would he say? “Jason’s in the grocery store, I’m scared because he’s looking at the tomatoes.” “He’s so menacing, handing a little old lady a plum that she couldn’t reach.”

    Summary

    As far as birthdays go, Tim's 15th birthday ranks pretty high on his list, top three at least. Sure his parents skipped out last minute and Red Hood shot and tried to kill him, but that first part is normal and that second part means that Tim got to hang out with Jason Todd for his birthday.

    Maybe he should reevaluate his rankings, because hanging out with his childhood hero definitely boosts this birthday to top two, and it's not two.
