Summary
Tim is almost-finally training to be Robin, kind of. (Emphasis on the “almost”). (Emphasis on the “kind of”).
He’s been sparring with the Hood, Gotham’s newest vigilante, but Hood doesn’t know Tim as Tim, he knows Tim as Jason, but Tim knows that Hood is actually Jason, and honestly, Tim’s just writing the rules up as he goes.
And the stakes are only getting higher. After tragedy strikes the Drakes, Tim ends up in Bruce’s care just as a new series of gruesome crimes plagues Gotham. More than ever, Bruce is determined to keep Tim out of it.
Tim does not keep out of it. (And there are consequences to starting fights you don’t know how to win).
Title taken from “To an Athlete Dying Young” by A.E. Housman.

- Part 2 of To an Athlete Dying Young
