    Summary

    And something exhausted and brittle in Tim just snaps. “Full disclosure: I don’t care what you think.” A thrill of fear shoots down his spine as he spits those words, but he pushes it down and steps forward, glaring. His heartbeat thunders in his ears. “Look, I’m here to make a deal and I am willing to pay. I want - ”

    Between one blink and the next, a searingly hot palm presses against his chest. The demon is suddenly much, much closer. Her stare bores into him as she says, in perfect tandem with his own voice, “ - Jason Todd back from the dead."

    -

    Or, alternatively: Tim makes a deal.

    Summary

    Tim closes his eyes, calculating. Based on the energy involved for a one week reset, he’s looking at a minimum displacement of about five years for the copy. His eyes sting as he fully grasps that if this works, one Tim will get to reunite with his friends and family, hold them and speak to them again, and work together to unleash all the contingencies and strategies he’s come up with to kick those invading alien assholes the fuck out, and the other Tim, the copy… won’t. He’ll wake up somewhen, isolated and traumatized, without friends, family, or any allies at all.

    Well, shit. Whatever, at least Other Tim will know it worked. And he’s never minded the idea of sacrificing himself to save others. He confirms the calibration of the device, and pushes the big red button. Of fucking course there’s a big red button, supervillains are so predictable.

    His last thought as the lights explode in his head and he tastes color is I hope computers are a thing whenever Other Tim lands. I’d hate to be put on trial for witchcraft. Fuck it, if I overshoot I’m gonna ride a goddamn dinosaur. Hell. Yes.

    Summary

    Hood stares in dumbfounded shock as Tim Drake, his replacement and sometime enemy, snickers and reaches out one uncoordinated hand to poke at his white streak. Two things happen in that moment. He spots the scar on Tim’s throat, the one he put there way back when he was at his most fucked up—or rather, he spots the smooth, pale, unmarred skin where it should have been.

    He also hears Red Robin in his ear, calmly checking in with the Bats over the comms Red Hood secretly listens in on.

    “Well, fuck,” he says, looking with new eyes at the grinning, way too trusting teen—and he’s definitely a teen, at least a few years younger than the guy he knows. “Guess you’re not from around here, after all.”

    Summary

    “Um, hello.” Rocky lifts a hand slowly. The rock spider chitters and attempts to lift one back. But it’s tangled in wire, and the force that the alien uses to tug it free sends his body reeling backwards and thumping against the side of the tunnel. Rocky tries to keep a straight face.

    “I’ll call you Grace,” he says. “Clearly you have plenty of it.”

    ...

    Rocky wakes up in the Tau Ceti system, with his commander and science specialist dead. How's he supposed to save Earth?

    Befriend the alien scientist he runs into, of course.
