Summary
Tim Drake was once Batman's Shadow, hand-selected for the mantle by his predecessor, Damian Wayne. He had everything - a city that he could finally help, two big brothers who loved him, a place in the world. He was ready to die for that city, that family, if that's what it took to keep them safe.
He did. Die for them, that is.
He killed, too.
Even after dying, even after killing, Tim's pretty damn sure he'd do it over again. That in mind, it should be easy to keep away from his family for the same reasons. Or, well, that's what he thinks. The little Shade that took to following him around makes that a bit more difficult. The Bats not knowing how to leave well enough alone makes it a lot more difficult.
This seems like an issue that can be solved by ignoring it and fleeing when necessary. Tim's sure it'll work itself out.
