Summary
Near one of the doors, he saw a shadow. Ah, here it is. He pointed the gun at him, “Little bird! Thanks for saving me time..."
He broke off. It wasn't Replacement. It was a child. At most seven years, with a sweatshirt too big for him and a ridiculous eye mask to hide his identity.
Jason was petrified to see him. What was a literal child doing there? Had one of the Titans had a child?
Here's what happened to get super hormonal teens together in the same place. He did some quick calculations and no, it wasn't possible. Jason had been out of action for three years. That child was too old.
So, he did the most logical thing. He yelled at him.
"Who are you?"
He didn't answer. Well, of course, he didn't. He was pointing a gun at him. No one in their right mind would reveal their identity to a probable killer. Even the children knew it.
Jason lowered the gun. He was a mad crime lord, but he didn't kill children. He was better than the bastard clown.
------------
Where Jason's plan to break into Titan Tower doesn't go the way he wants and a nine-year-old Tim Drake ruins everything.

Summary
Kon blurted out, "I don't want to play with a baby!"
"Kon!" Jon scolded him, as Tim huddled closer behind Damian and his boyfriend looked like he was about to commit murder.
Kon turned to him, “You said your boyfriend was bringing a kid my age. He is small! He's five! "
Oh, Rao! Here's where the problem was. Tim was actually small for his age. According to Damian, it was the fault of the neglect the child had suffered. A week on the farm wasn't going to make him regain much in terms of weight, but it would be a start. Jon was determined to spoil Tim as much and more than Damian wanted to do.
And he knew that Damian wanted to: he could try to be as gruff as he wanted, but he had a soft spot for children in need of help.
It was probably a Bats thing.
"I am nine years old ... why does everyone say that I am little?"
Kon's eyes widened, “Nine years? No way! "------------
It seemed like a good idea to bring their little brothers together. Okay, Tim wasn't Damian's brother (not yet), but he needed a friend. Coincidentally, Kon also needed a friend.Jon wasn't ready for disaster.

Summary
Selina was trying to stay out of trouble. Keyword: she was trying.
But you couldn't change a person's nature, and there was a slew of rich bastards in Gotham who deserved a visit.
So it wasn't strange that the first thing she did on her return to Gotham was sneak into the drakes' lavish mansion.The Drakes were on the other side of the world and won't be back until Christmas. So Selina had all the time in the world and maybe even the opportunity to use the house in a fun way if a grumpy bat showed up.
She hadn't thought there would be a child.------------------
What do a cat and a bird have in common? They both adopt stray puppies.

Summary
"Why are you here?"
Tim hugged the pillow tighter, “I don't want to be alone. It reminds me of my home."
"Oh ... do you want to sleep here?" he asked, remembering that Jon had said something about Tim's lousy parents. It was no surprise that he was anxious. It didn't even occur to him to wonder why he hadn't gone to Damian, though part of him took pride in knowing he'd come to Damian first.
Take this, Robin.
"Can I?"
Kon shrugged, “Why not? You're so small, you won't take up much space."
------------------------
Kon and Tim start to sleep in the same bed and Damian won't encourage bad habits.

Summary
"I know who you are."
Those were the five words Jason dreaded hearing since he'd returned to Gotham.
He wanted to reveal himself, on his terms and in the most dramatic way possible.
Was he a self-promoting bastard? Yes, but he could afford it after he was dead and his killer was still on the loose!
The longer he stayed in the city, leaving clues as to his identity, the more chances there was that Batman figured out who he was.
And Jason didn't want to give him that satisfaction.
But it wasn't Batman who said it. It
had been a child.
----------Jason has a plan for Gotham, a vengeance and a Robin to eliminate. He never expected Tim Drake to come his way.

Summary
“If I can free you from the contract, you can take me with you to the human world. You have to take me with you, otherwise I won't help you."
“Do you think I would leave you behind?”
“You just said you thought I was fae. There is no solid basis for trust,” the child snorted. “I have nothing against you, I know you're a hero and all. But it's better to be foresight."
Bruce nodded. It made perfect sense to him.
“I'll take you with me…”
“You must swear by your real name,” the kid interrupted. “Names have power here. Even if you're not fae. Swear that you will take me back, and I will help you. “
“You ask a lot of me.”
“Your secret identity is the least of your problems right now, don't you think?”
That was a great point.
[A few months after Jason's death, Bruce is kidnapped to marry the Unseelie Queen. In a court full of vipers, his only ally is a child he can't help but grow fond of]

Summary
Jason was used to being glared at. Crap, he'd been on the other side of the Bat-glare enough times to become immune to it.
But being looked at like he was a cockroach by a nine year old brat who didn't even reach his hips and was trying to be intimidating, that was new to him too.
“How the hell did you get in here?” Jason snapped, putting the gun away.
“It doesn't matter. We need to talk.”
(Someone should have told Bruce's new charity case that Jason was a lost cause. Too bad for him, Tim was stubborn as hell and wouldn't take no for an answer.)
