Summary
Timothy Jackson Drake was a genius.
Certifiably, he’d been tested. Twice.
He was also smart.
He had his secret hide out office, his Batman photography hobby, and a foolproof system for managing his well-meaning but often absent parents.
Everything was working exactly as planned.
Then Super Boy Prime punched a hole through reality and Jason Todd clawed his way out of his grave.
Which was good. But decidedly not Tim’s problem.
Or it wasn’t until Tim accidentally photographed a dead Robin wandering around Gotham on Halloween night.
When he couldn’t lead the zombie to Batman, he did what any logical eleven-year-old would do: he solved the puzzle, fed the zombie, and somehow ended up with an overly protective shadow who thought crossing state lines required supervision.
Rude.
Tim was starting to regret his curiosity about riddles.
Timothy Jackson Drake was a genius.
No one could disagree.
He had papers!
But smart?
Yeah, Jason would argue that one.

Summary
“Huh, Bruce? You know, it’s maybe nothing, maybe I’m just imagining things…” Tim trailed off, then took a breath. “But do you… huh, hate my school or something?”
Bruce glanced up, caught off guard. “What do you mean?”
Tim shifted his weight again. “It’s just… You always make a weird face when I talk about it. Is there a problem?”
Bruce is not a fan of Tim’s boarding school.

Summary
A blinding flash lit up the alley below.
Jason yelped, “GAH—!” and flailed mid-air. His grappling line snagged late, making him slam awkwardly onto the opposite ledge. He skidded, boots scraping brick, landing in a graceless tangle of cape and limbs.
“Okay,” Jason wheezed, untangling himself. “What the hell—”
He whipped his head around, scanning the shadows. And there it was. Or rather... there they were. A kid.
Jason’s jaw dropped. “Are you— did you just flashbang me with a Polaroid?!”
OR:
Five times Jason met a tiny stalker, and the one time he forcefully adopted him.

“I could, but that’s the fine if you don’t come over next weekend.” Jason explains. “Because now B’s going to be all broody this weekend, and if I have to deal with that two weekends in a row, I get to eat your chips.”
“Alright, fine I’ll come over next weekend if you're so…” Dick trails off as he notices something strange on the sidewalk in front of him. “Jay I’ve got to go, I’ll call you back.”
“Dick, Wha-” Dick hangs up before Jason can finish, he feels bad, but this is more pressing. A small figure is trudging through the storm, occasionally stumbling like they’re injured. Far too tiny to be an adult.

Summary
Tim knocks into his parents' newest archaeology finds. Newest magical archaeology find, he discovers quickly.
OR
Tim squeezed his eyes shut, body tensed for impact or death, but nothing happened. No explosion, no—
"Woah," said a very familiar voice, and Tim wrenched his eyes open.
Outlined in the same faint blue light was Jason Todd, dressed in the very Robin suit he'd died in, remarkably hale for what must be a reanimated corpse or a ghost. Jason stared at Tim, eyes wide and surprised, darting around the dark hallway, over the Manor's plush carpet and souvenirs from various digs.
