    Summary

    The two dots are pressed close together in one corner of the warehouse map. Tim's marker pushes Jason's back into the corner. Jason's heart rate ticks up again. It doesn't take a genius to put together the chain of events here, and Dick is a decently smart guy who's known Tim and Jason for years and years, through thick and thin; watched them circle around each other and orbit closer and closer towards an inevitable collision. Even the stubbornest Bats have to crack eventually. Dick didn't think a routine kidnapping would be the thing that did it, but. Alright, then.

    Bruce narrows his eyes at the screen. Dick can practically see each individual thought flickering across his face, the world's greatest detective putting things together in real time. Oh, boy.

    "They've always had a tense relationship," Bruce says. "It was bound to boil over at some point." He leans so close to the screen that Dick is tempted to turn things back on him and lecture him about eye strain. "They're fighting again."

    "Uh," Steph says.

    "Well," Dick tries.

    ***

    Steph, Dick, and Bruce observe Jason rescue Tim from a kidnapping. Bruce is in for a revelation. Dick is in for a long, long night.

    Summary

    Jason is dangerous and insane, Tim reminds himself. Jason is a walking mass casualty event. Jason is just-–a fucking nuisance. It doesn’t matter how entrepreneurial he pretends to be, or how good he looks in a three-piece suit. Tim’s the only one who cares about what Jason’s doing in the Iceberg Lounge, the only one who knows what he’s capable of. Tim’s the only one who can stop him, which means it’s absolutely imperative that he does not get distracted.

    ***

    Tim gets distracted.

    Summary

    Jason Todd has been living with Bruce for two months. Jason was such a joy to have around, even if he rarely let people near him. Which was fine. Bruce was perfectly willing to let Jason adjust, and go at his speed.

    But when one day Jason suddenly starts acting clingy while in public...Bruce is more than a little worried. What had even triggered it, and would Jason even tell him?
