    Summary

    Gotham was built on a cave system. Batman has referenced a Bat Cave before. Tim is currently in the cave system. He is in the cave system that he entered from Drake Manor. Drake Manor is right next door to where Batman- The Bruce Wayne- lives. Holy Cavern, Batman! Tim had just accidentally wandered into the Bat Cave’s cave system.

    OR

    Tim, having found a weird hole after a storm, decides to go exploring ignoring the fact that This Is Gotham and They Probably Have Cursed Stuff Down There.

    Luckily, it was just a cave system that spans the entire Gotham underground. Unluckily, Tim is a very curious child.

    Summary

    Tim winces, “Another critical fail. Jason, what does your human bard do?”

    Jason plays a riff, then leans forward to mirror Timmy’s posture. “Active perception check.” He tosses his solid red D-20 out onto the table, not even looking at the result.

    Finally catching onto Jason’s less than pure intentions, Tim’s smile tightens as he looks down at the die as it lands right in front of him. “That’s a natural 20.”

    Jason grins, feral. “Let’s fucking go.”

    -

    Duke wants to spend more time bonding with his family. Somehow, this leads to him playing D&D with Steph, Jason, and Tim. The chaos is unstoppable, especially once Jason gets into his role as Tom, his human Bard. This upcoming forest confrontation won't know what hit it.

    Summary

    As the door opened Tim quickly disabled another three separate electronic sensors in the doorjamb by swiping them with a device that looked a bit like a thumb drive. “Walk where I walk,” he said.

    He took a big step over the doormat, eyed the floor carefully, then took a careful skipped sidestep to another mat against the right-hand wall, where he removed his shoes.

    “What the hell?” whispered Jason, still standing in the open doorway.

    Tim pointed up. There was a net rigged up on the ceiling. “Pressure pads under the carpet.”

    “I repeat, what the hell?”

    After Tim completely derails Jason’s beatdown attempt by asking him for a hug, Jason’s first priority is to get this touch-starved kid more cuddles. Tim’s first priority is to avoid Dick’s traps.

    Jason learns a lot about his brothers and what happened while he was away, and something about himself too.

    Summary


    Izuku never really meant to get into fights, or to get a name for himself in his neighbourhood, or to get pseudo-adopted by the local police precinct.

    He was only trying to protect the nice lady from next door, or save a cat from a tree, or help an old lady with her shopping, or stop those men from being mean.

    But then he catches Eraserhead's notice too. As it turns out, it's just one more person who ends up adoring him for all that he is.

    ~~~

     

    Shouta is tired and fed up and exhausted. Yes, he's fully aware that those are all technically synonyms, but using them all right now feels appropriate.

     

    Izu-kun is tiny. Cute, tiny, and he really is fucking vicious.

     

    Not only is the kid small, but he's scrawny, all elbows and freckles and bony wrists, plasters on his face to cover up some of the freckles, the knuckles on his left hand raw. His damn hoodie says 'Hero' on it, bright yellow in a shade that almost perfectly matches his own goggles, and he's panting, grinning, blood smeared on the toe of his shoes.
