Summary
They were absolutely minuscule compared to him, with huge eyes hung above a long snout, faint specklings of teal lines and navy spots running across its face and body, multitudinously bespectacled, each a different tone and shade of blue set over a neutral grey background.
This dragon was meant to live beneath the waves, in the ocean, camouflaged heavily in the water, their scales blending into the rise and fall of the tide.

A particular paternal dragon keeps finding new hatchlings, each more unique than the last.

Summary
At first glance Thomas was sure the victim was already long gone, just a burned, mangled husk attached to tubes and wires. But he was shocked to see that the heart monitor was slowly beeping. “What happened?” Thomas immediately questioned. “There was an explosion in an abandoned building around Park Row. He was found in the rubble. He was resuscitated on the scene and coded once in the ambulance. Aside from severe burns, broken bones and trauma the worst injury seems to be a wound at his throat caused by a sharp object.” They rattled off more information as Thomas quickly prepped for surgery. Every second was going to have to count to save this one.
or
Jason dies in the explosion after his throat is cut by Batman's batarang. But somehow he wakes up he in an alternate universe where Thomas and Martha Wayne didn't die, and Bruce never became Batman. Lost and alone Jason struggles with his injuries and his own existence, but the Waynes are determined to help him every step of the way. Jason finds himself the pseudo older brother to a teenage Dick and a baby Damian. Little do the Wayne's know that Jason has a knack for "adopting" kids. He starts with his own tiny counterpart.
