Bookmarker's Notes
(M=much talk of genitals & sex (non-detailed; mostly medical(-adjacent)context)
-----
"It seems to me that a reasonable response to her being overwhelmed by life in general, needing to see her mother, and you being an uncommunicative dick would be to pack a bag, get a ticket, and say, ‘Listen, you insensitive prick, I’m going to go see my mother for a month. I’ll call every night to talk to Christopher. Answer the damn phone.’ But to just vanish with no warning, leaving nothing but a note? And then no calls, no visits, no attempts at contact for years? That’s some kind of bullshit. Seems to me like she just wanted out."You’re not blameless in your relationship falling apart, man, you both win the shitty communication award, but there’s a difference between her literally abandoning her son and you making some bad decisions and being shitty at communication.
"Maybe you were a shitty husband. Which has what to do with her relationship with Christopher?”"

Summary
"It would be a miracle if anybody found him now. His father didn’t give enough of a shit to even ask if Tim was still alive, Bruce kept his distance and his teammates on Young Justice just thought he was ‘taking a mini retirement’ like Cissie. The bus ride to Bludhaven was uneventful fortunately and nobody truly malicious had tried anything with Tim. Not that he’d let them anyways. He was too smart for that."
***
Tim Drake, after being cooped up for too long in Drake manor and no longer allowed to go out as Robin, runs away to Bludhaven, where he hopes Dick can take him in and potentially work with him. All he wants is to run away and find a family that will finally love him. What he gets instead is a mugging and a reunion with his former childhood idol; Jason Todd, who just might help Tim with his family issue.
