    Summary

    “How long.” It was supposed to be a question but his tone of voice wasn’t quite right. The words were breathy, and they sounded more like a heavy sigh than a question.

    She reached out a hand and rubbed at the top of Kakyoin’s head. It was weird but comforting.

    “You’ve been in a coma for about twelve years, dear.”

    Kakyoin’s mind felt blank. He wasn’t sure what he was thinking.

    “Oh.”

    ~

    Alternatively, after about twelve years, Kakyoin finally awakes from a coma. Unfortunately for him, his old friends believe him to be dead, and they're rather difficult to find.

    Summary

    The Bats were dead and Dick was the only one left alive. He had nothing left for him so why shouldn’t he join them?

    Waking up back in time was not the plan but Dick wasn’t complaining. He finally has his family back and he will not lose them again.

    Robin has always been able to do what Batman couldn’t. It was okay that Bruce won’t kill. Dick wouldn’t ask him to compromise his morals.

    But he had no such restrictions. He doesn’t mind killing, getting his hands dirty, and being a monster if it means his family is alive.

    .

    Or a Dark Dick Grayson who is just a tad overprotective of his family. Just a tad.

    Summary

    Losing Damian not only hurt beyond measure but also made Dick the last Bat standing. He had nothing keeping him in a broken world so goes back in time with only one ally (Damian begs to differ) and no plan except to protect everyone he can, at any cost.

    Dick starts with making sure Jason never dies at the hands of the Joker and proceeds to track down and love his siblings (while maybe also plotting the destruction of the League of Assassins). He just doesn't realize that a clan of highly trained vigilantes are more than capable of realizing that Dick is not okay, and of returning his devotion with their own.

    Summary

    So, it didn’t start out like this.

     

    Alfred would scoff at the statement, about how Bruce was trying to justify the whole situation to himself. It had started out as a simple design, black everything with black outlines and black hood. It got a little more intense as the world went on, got wind of his ghost on the streets, and became scared of The Bat . So Bruce got a little more creative with it, Alfred and him had a good laugh over the name, the scare, and Alfred had a vicious streak of humor that he had passed onto his ward-

     

    So now the suit had a visible bat-theme, an insignia to drape in the shadows and to paint across the streets of Gotham.

     

    It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:

    “ The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”

    --

    A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.
