Summary
Tim, running on -2 hours of sleep, gets into the wrong car. Things go terribly wrong after that. Because when assassins are involved, of course they do.

“I was sent to kill you, Timothy.” She smirked at him, eyes lighting up in a peculiar sense that made Tim unsettled in a way he hadn’t felt for a long time. “Does that make you scared? Daddy won’t be able to save you with his money this time.”

The BAU is No Place for a Bat by Rosie_the_Fanfic_Reader

Summary
She sighs again, “you and that damn hero complex.”
Dick shoots her a grin, “is it a complex if I actually am a hero?”
**
The BAU gets a new recruit. he's young, charming, and all of his answers lead to more questions.
It's one bat vs. six of the best profilers in the world and the second best tech goddess in history so it's really anyone's guess whether Dick Grayson will learn all their secrets before they learn his.
It's okay, though, he only has to last long enough to either keep Emily Prentiss alive or figure out if she's working with a mass terrorist.

Summary
The first letter arrived right to Tim's desk.
He didn’t think much of it at first. It was a plain white thing, a tidy little card tucked unobtrusively in amongst the stack of memos and reports from other departments that his secretary had left on his desk. He spent several minutes getting settled before he even really glanced at it.
Finally, he began scanning his stack, zeroing in on the card only because it looked more interesting than a memo.
The cardstock was good quality. It landed in his palm with a satisfying schlak.
The handwriting on the card was… odd.
Neat, perfectly legible, but shaky - like a child anxiously practicing their letters. It was so nice speaking with you the other day, it read. I hope you’ll make time for me again sometime soon!
It was punctuated with a little crooked smiley face that had been crossed out and redrawn, too carefully to look natural. The eyes were perfect, ballpen circles.

Summary
So, it didn’t start out like this.
Alfred would scoff at the statement, about how Bruce was trying to justify the whole situation to himself. It had started out as a simple design, black everything with black outlines and black hood. It got a little more intense as the world went on, got wind of his ghost on the streets, and became scared of The Bat . So Bruce got a little more creative with it, Alfred and him had a good laugh over the name, the scare, and Alfred had a vicious streak of humor that he had passed onto his ward-
So now the suit had a visible bat-theme, an insignia to drape in the shadows and to paint across the streets of Gotham.
It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:
“ The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”
--
A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.

Summary
As the anesthesiologist is telling him to count down from ten, he vaguely remembers what he forgot to tell Bruce.
It began with a g…or was it a z?
It’ll be fine. If it was truly important, he would have remembered it. He’ll handle whatever it is when he wakes up.
Or: Dick forgets to mention he's on antipsychotics

Summary
“B,” Dick cries, dropping into his chest, shoulders shaking.
For an awful, awful moment, Dick realizes he’s made a mistake. He’s not twelve anymore—the kid who crawled into Batman’s lap is gone, grown up. He shouldn’t be doing this, he shouldn’t need this.
And then Bruce’s arms fold him in closer. “Shh,” he murmurs. “It’s okay.”
Dick cries harder, he’s desperate, dragging himself onto Bruce to wrap winding limbs around him. He doesn’t want to let go. Everything hurts, inside and out, and he wants…he wants…
“Dad,” Dick says. “Dad, help.”
Or, Dick gets many hugs over the years, but there's one he needs.
