Summary
Bruce glanced towards the Batmobile. Dick squinted through the open door, and realized Tim was in there, curled tiny in the sofa-like back seat, head on his knees.
Bruce moved so they were both a bit further away. “I need a blood sample to determine what the substance was and if he needs an antidote or antitoxin. And Tim is…” He sighed. “Tim isn’t fond of needles at the best of times.”
(Bruce isn't always great at comforting people, but he does, sometimes, know how to delegate.)

Summary
The Batmobile pulled into the Cave accompanied by more of Dick’s happy chatter. Bruce got out first, Dick bounding out the passenger door to his side.
Bruce pulled down his cowl. “Good job, today, Dick,” he said, and Dick looked up at him, grinning widely -
And froze.
He felt like a baby rabbit under the gaze of a wolf, prey looking at a predator, flashing teeth longer than his limbs - there was something wrong with Bruce’s eyes - his eyes, they -
And then it was gone.

Summary
Tim was 10 when he figured out Batman and Robin’s second secret: they were monsters.
It was a secret that wasn’t a secret; everyone said that Batman was a vampire. Few knew it was actually true. Everyone said Robin was fey, was impish. But those were just adjectives, weren’t they?
It was when Tim was 12 that he realized that the Second Secret was a problem. Jason was the first human who had ever been a hero in Gotham - Tim didn’t know yet what Batwoman and Batgirl were, but they were certainly not human - and Jason had died. And Batman would never accept another human as Robin.

Summary
Dick glanced over from where he was warming up on some rings and his eyes widened ever so slightly. “Tim,” he said carefully, “when did you get injured?”
Tim’s stomach sank abruptly. He dropped out of the backbend, his shirt falling back down over his side.
“Hm? Oh, that’s just from - “ Tim paused and furrowed his eyebrows. He looked down at the floor and took a deep breath. “I was going to lie, but that wouldn’t do anyone any good,” he said. “It’s, um. I did it. It’s fine, I - the cuts aren’t bad.”
“Oh, Tim,” Dick sighed. He dropped down to the ground. “Can I see?”
