    Summary

    “He told me he was visiting friends! But apparently he left out the part about taking a spaceship to see them!”

    Jack’s pacing was beginning to wear holes into the carpet.

    “How did he even get his hands on a spaceship? His allowance is only ten dollars a week and he spends most of it on chips and candy!”

    Suddenly, Wayne frowned slightly, the corners of his lips turning down as his brow furrowed.

    “Tim said you stopped giving him an allowance because he was failing Calculus.”

    Jack turned to him, bewildered.

    “Tim’s failing Calculus?”

    ---

    In which Jack Drake does not die in a home invasion and is now, inexplicably, co-parenting his only child with another man. Something Jack would protest if he didn't desperately need him because raising his son was a two-person job.

    Summary

    Ra's smiled. It was slimy and predatory. Jason was grateful as hell that Damian hadn’t inherited it. His self-righteous, puff-headed little smirk was all Bruce. "You know,” Ra’s said, “I haven’t anything prepared, Timothy, I do apologize. This has been nothing but a fortuitous happenstance. I had planned on pursuing you again in the future, of course, but I took our meeting at that gathering as an act of fate and had no choice but to take the opportunity in the moment."

    He looked at Jason with displeasure. “You, however, were never part of any plan.” He rubbed his beard thoughtfully. “What to do with you, Jason Todd?”

    --
    Tim and Jason are captured by Ra's al Ghul. It does not go well for either of them.

    Summary

    Tim was independent. He was reliable. He was self-sufficient. He was ten years old, and ten year olds didn’t need help – he was practically an adult at this point.

    The only problem was that his tooth hurt.

    Summary

    Swanwick gave Bruce a level, unamused look. "Mr. Wayne," he said. "Please tell me you know why you're here."

    Bruce shrugged. "Won the lottery, and first-place prize is the government marries me off to an alien."

    (Or: in a universe where Krypton took an extra thirty-odd years to implode, Kal-El was sent to Earth as an adult, in advance of the ship containing the only other surviving Kryptonians; and a quirk of Kryptonian law means negotiating refuge, potential resettlement, and an alliance with the Kryptonians in general is dependent on marriage between a Kryptonian and a human. Bruce did what it took to make sure that that human would be him, instead of some poor unprepared civilian—but his efforts to learn more about the aliens, what they want and why they're here, and how, if necessary, to kill them ... don't go the way he's expecting them to.)
