    Summary

    His smile widens. “You will pick one to kill. I shall give you ten minutes to decide and say your goodbyes. If you have not killed one of your brothers when the time is up, I will kill all three.”

    Jason feels the bottom drop out of his stomach. This was supposed to buy him time, not give him a literal deadline.

    “You see, little blade? I have made it so easy for you. You aren’t even really killing one. You are saving two. Your time starts now.”

    Summary

    “Here,” Jason says, passing the tray over to Damian. “Go bring Dick this.”

    Damian redirects his scowl, but the furrow in his brow looks more curious than angry now. “What is it?”

    “Papanasi,” he answers. “It’s, uh. It’s something his family used to make.”

    Damian accepts the tray, holding it as carefully as he would delicate electronics. “And this will…make him happy?”

    He doesn’t laugh at him. “Nah, kid,” he says wearily. “He’s not going to be happy until he knows his family is safe. But it’ll help.”

    The smaller boy clambers down from the stool, taking care not to drop the dessert as he does. He hesitates on his way out of the kitchen. “I…am looking forward to Drake’s safe return,” he says.

    Jason snorts. “For Grayson’s sake, yeah, yeah.”

    “Yes,” he says, shifting on his feet. “For Grayson’s sake.” Another beat, and finally he pads out of the room, very seriously balancing the tray that looks ridiculously large in his small arms.

    ***

    The ransom call comes the following morning.

    Summary

    He has never argued with a punishment, not since he was a toddler, if then. Surely she’ll listen, surely she’ll see this is too harsh, that he wouldn’t be disrespecting her like this if he was simply sulking over not getting his way. He needs that food, needs to be able to eat enough if he wants to be Robin.

    He’s been hungry before, but back then, it never mattered if he was a little weak or dizzy. It never risked his life or the life of his partner when he was a kid.

    She turns, sighing softly and pursing her lips. She reaches out to pat his cheek, and for a moment his heart soars hopefully, and he barely restrains himself from leaning into the rare bit of contact and soaking up his mother’s touch. “Oh, Timothy,” she tuts. “This is for the best. And honestly, I think it’s wise for you to cut down a bit on the snacks. I’d hate to have to listen to anyone tittering at the next gala that you’re getting chubby.”

    And without another backwards glance, she turns and heads upstairs, leaving Tim alone and frozen at the bottom of the steps.

    Dick has a whole family who would rather stab him or themselves before embracing him, and he respects their boundaries, but sometimes he just wants a hug he doesn’t have to beg for.
