    Summary

    It’s been 6 years since Cory disappeared to train with the Scarlet king and a year since he returned and killed Dr. Patience. Now Dr. Patience is back, and Cory is fragmented. Will the foundation be able to trust Dr. Patience again after witnessing his death? Will any of them be able to trust Cory if he is ever whole again?

     

    ----

    TLDR: Cory and Dr. Patience die in the season finale titled “The end”, the world moves on without them, and a year later, a radio signal comes through from none other than Dr. Patience, who has Cory, or at least a part of him.

    I’m putting myself to no less than 1k words per chapter. I know that’s not a lot, but it's my first actual fic that's not a script for a gacha series. I was VERY salty with the ending of Newscapepro’s SCP series, so.. Here’s what I think could happen if it continued.

    Summary

    He smiles, all teeth, “Come on Replacement, I even got to the door with both legs busted. This should be nothing.”

    “You’re right. Jason… Jason wouldn’t have given up. He would fight, I can still—“

    The boy wobbles, and Jason has to suppress the mortifying impulse to jump to his aid.

    “I can still fight. Batman needs me.”

    “That’s a terrible idea,” he muses aloud, and if there’s a hint of real concern somewhere under all the roiling green, well, nobody can prove it.

    Summary

    “The Red Hood has been good for Gotham,” Robin continued. “Crime in Park Row decreased by sixty one percent almost as soon as you showed up, and that’s even taking into account all the crime you commit. Drug overdoses have decreased by twenty two percent in adults and seventy nine percent in minors. Homeless minors are ninety two percent less likely to—”

    “Kid,” Jason interrupted. “Enough statistics. What the hell is this about?”

    Robin slowly lowered the tablet with his powerpoint presentation and looked up at Red Hood.

    “You care about Gotham,” Robin summarised. “Gotham needs Batman. Batman is missing and so is Nightwing. We need you to fill in for Batman.”

    “You want me to cover Batman’s patrols?” Jason clarified.

    “No,” Robin said. “I want you to be Batman.”

    Jason bluescreened.

     

    (Or: Batman and Nightwing mysteriously disappear before Red Hood has even started antagonising them, Robin is desperate, Gotham needs Batman, and Red Hood is Batman-Shaped.)

    Summary

    “Jaybird!” Dick yells as soon as he pulls the double doors open, and Jason can see the trail of little ducklings behind him.

    Duke, Steph, Cass, and Tim are in a neat line behind Dick, and they all look miserable. They’re all wearing pajamas, each with their own tissue box. Damian is standing apart from them with his arms crossed, and Alfred The Cat is perched precariously on his shoulder, but the illusion of an upset healthy prepubescent teenager is very obviously ruined by a very red nose, and the pale pallor of his normally deep tan.

    Dick is the only one who doesn’t look miserable, and Jason laments his own health and simultaneously curses Dick’s extremely abysmal culinary abilities and prowess.

    Jason has no words. He wants to step back, away from the sick children. He wants to go back to his germ-free apartment and watch the newest episode of Great British Bake Off with Roy.

    He takes a step back.

    Or, wherein Tim got his spleen taken by Ra's like in canon but little does everyone know that Jason had sold his spleen when he was a kid to try and get Catherine into rehab (and she still died of a drug overdose.)

    Summary

    And then Damian is knocking a mobster back and hurling himself across the roof toward Tim, a hand outstretched and mouth wide, Tim's name on his lips. At least, Tim is pretty sure it's his own name. He can't exactly hear anything anymore.

    His eyes droop.

    He sways.

    And then, tips over the edge.

     

    OR

     

    After Tim is nearly drowned, he keeps fighting because he feels fine, really - so why is it still so hard to breathe?

     

    OR OR

     

    Tim is saved by the two batfamily members he is pretty sure would rather see him dead.
