Summary
Red Robin understands his role in the Batfamily by now.
He stays around enough to be counted as present.
He engages enough to be counted as useful.
He avoids enough to be counted as convenient.
The rules of being a Drake-Wayne are much the same.
It's been a hard lesson, but Tim understands his relationship to the Waynes quite well.
…The only problem is that they still don't seem to understand—which is pretty frustrating, given that they're the very ones who necessitated setting up the current rules of engagement. And Bruce is really a little young to have such a spotty memory already.
Still, the teenaged CEO of Wayne Enterprises is nothing if not a dutiful son, so if Bruce keeps pressing him for answers, well…Tim juuust might have to oblige.

Summary
"What the HELL is wrong with you?! Alfred died BECAUSE OF YOU! And now you're mocking his death like it's nothing important?!" He spits with fury, channeling his father's fiery personality and his mother's sharp words.
Damian simply laughs in his face and retorts, "Why should I care? He was only a butler. He had one purpose: to serve the family. He fulfilled that job perfectly, why does he deserve more praise for doing the bare minimum?"
Even though Tim knew how psychopathic Damian was, he was still stunned at the sheer callousness of his words.
————
After years of Damian's abuse and Dick's neglect, Tim's limit is reached after Alfred's funeral and a few insensitive comments from Damian.

Summary
"Tim almost flinched at Batman’s words, but his viciousness had only grown. Somewhere in the back of his mind Tim was screaming at himself to stop talking and take the punishment as a small mercy. But he had been expected to forgive both of his attempted-murderers without complaint; expected to forgive people who had never been sorry for hurting him in the first place. An even larger part of his mind was out for blood."
"'You don’t get to make decisions for me when you threw me away like garbage,' Tim hissed."
There is only so far someone can bend before they break.
