    Summary

    Tim is an unwanted android, a Robo-Child. After being sent back by his parents, his last and only hope rests in the hands of a man still grieving the loss of his own son.

    “I didn’t ask for a replacement,” Bruce barked. “I don’t want a replacement! You can go back and tell the RCO I don’t need a replacement.”

    Bruce Wayne didn’t want him. If Bruce Wayne didn’t want him, he’d be sent back and dismantled.

    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    (If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

    Summary

    Jason has a plan. He's going to walk into the tower and beat his replacement into a fucking pulp. And its going swimmingly! Right up until he realizes that he hasn't heard a single scream. There have been no whimpers, no cries for help, no pleading for Batman to come and save him. Other than the sound of fists on flesh and the snap of bone and his own vitriol, there's nothing.

    OR

    Jason is going to kill Tim. Tim has no complaints.

    Summary

    Tim stares down at the mask in his lightly trembling hands. It's smooth, a deep and rich green color that brings to mind the idea of life. Of green leaves and vibrant grass and living things.

    Tim thinks--frequently but privately, never aloud--that he is a dead man walking. He has been since the first time he put on this suit, tears in his eyes as he sullied what should have stayed a pure symbol of hope, light, and freedom. So this green color? It doesn't suit him at all. It's far too beautiful and lively for that.

    Tim Drake spends most of the second half of his life trying to kill himself.

    Maybe someday he'll succeed.
