    Summary

    "Security Audit: Phase One," Tim whispered, his eyes glued to the telescope.

    Below, a goon in a purple suit—who looked like he’d been hired specifically for his ability to stand still and look confused—approached the "Secure" keypad at the main loading dock. He punched in a six-digit code.

    Tim waited for the final digit, then tapped a copper wire against a capacitor. BEEEEEEP.

     

    Or, 5 of Tim Drake’s various encounters with Rogues during his childhood, and 1 when he’s with his family

     

    This work is the prequel to The Statistical Improbability of Belonging, but you do not need to read that work to understand this one.

    Summary

    After a moment, Strange finishes his spell, letting out a sigh as he drops his magic. The arc reactor in his hand shimmers with power, both magical and regular, the steady white-blue now accented by shivering, red-orange symbols that gently orbit the metal casing.

    “Fancy,” Tony says, reaching out to take it.

    Strange pulls his hand back instead and says, “Forgive me, Tony.”

    Tony can’t move. He freezes in place, hand twitching above the changed arc reactor. Confusion, followed by shock, followed very quickly by fear driven anger as Tony snap his eyes back to Strange.

    Strange meets his gaze and says, “When you find him, ask Tim for help.”

    Summary

    When Tim runs into a rogue magic-user on patrol, the family is left to care for a child version of him while he slowly returns to his normal age as the spell wears off. The close proximity and the chance to see different sides of Tim provide opportunities for reflection and reconciliation (and a lot of cute pictures).

    Summary

    Dick Grayson hugs the way most people breathe: easy and natural, like it's a necessary part of living.

    Tim's wrapped up in one now, his brother's arms all the way around his shoulders, tugging him in close.

    He's never told Dick that the first hug he can remember is that day at the circus, from a stranger who would in time be family. He's never told Dick that the next hug he remembers after that is nine years later, caught up in those same strong arms. He thinks he'd rather die than admit it.

    "You're not hurt?" Dick is saying. "Nothing cruel and unusual, right?"

    "She only let me have one cup of coffee a day," says Tim, very dry, and Dick makes a strange sort of a sound, almost a laugh, and tightens his hold so much it sweeps Tim right off his feet.
