    Summary

    Tim awoke within a room that was stale aired, pitch black, and completely soundless. He was ill, and even if he HAD been able to move, the shackle around his ankle meant he would not be leaving anytime soon. As far as Dick knew, he was dead, and that put him at Jason's mercy. To make matters worse, the man was dead-set on him being his personal plaything, a pet of sorts...

    At first, Tim wants nothing more than to get strong enough to make an escape. But after a while, once he's truly gotten to know the former Robin, he's not quite so sure he wants to leave anymore. Or if Jason could take it if he did- of course, that's when everything falls apart.

    Tim knows he's not the same person he was before the bunker- and he can't go back to being him either. He's never going to let anyone control him, keep him locked up, ever again... he refuses.

    But Gotham needs Batman- and Jason is the only one willing to shoulder that burden.

    Tim has always said that Batman needs a Robin- but it looks like it's Jason that needs a Tim...

    Summary

    Tim Drake died quietly. He passed in his bed, in the manor, and was found the next afternoon by a man that, by all accounts, he should have outlived. No note, no clear reason why. He was just gone. Erased from the world like a stray pencil mark; put out like a match in water.

    He had just turned 22.

    Summary

    Once he knew where to find the shiny new birdy if he wanted, Jason figured he could leave his replacement alone. He had bigger birds to fry right now (flightless arctic ones, in specific). But the last few times Jason had caught sight of Batman and Robin out on patrol, the cuckoo bird had seemed… off. Subdued, less likely to poke fun at the baddies, and almost silent when it was just him and Bruce alone.

    Jason had decided to swing by the Drakes’ neighborhood in Old Gotham to see if he could get an idea of what was up—not because he was worried about the Walmart-brand Robin, alright? He was just… assessing the enemy. Gathering intel.

    Summary

    "I don't want to talk about it." Tim said.

    "It?" Steph snapped, "The fact that he sleeps in your bed and cooks you breakfast and there's a second fucking toothbrush in your bathroom? That he only listens to you? That you're wearing his fucking shirt right now? That it?"

    "Yeah." Tim agreed. "That's the one."
