   Summary

   Tim Drake is eleven years old when he’s grabbed off the streets of Bristol while he’s on his way home. It will be okay, he tells himself: they’ll call his parents, and they’ll pay the ransom, and he’ll get to go home.

   There are pictures of Batman and Robin on the camera he was carrying. A lot of pictures.

   They don’t call his parents. They call Black Mask.

   -
   or: the one where Black Mask kidnaps Tim and tries to groom him into a ruthless heir, and Tim tries to figure out how to destroy him from the inside out.

   General warnings tagged, anything not covered by those is in end-of-chapter notes to avoid spoilers.
