    Summary

    He raps lightly on the door frame, and Bruce looks up from his paperwork, the lines of concentration on his face falling away to be replaced by a smile as he sees Tim.

    “Hey,” he says, turning in his chair to face him. “It’s good to see you. How was your check-up?”

    The lines around his eyes are deeper than they used to be, a few strands of gray peeking through at his temples that weren’t there a year ago.

    Tim smiles back, holding up the small pharmacy bag in his hand. “Got my antibiotics.”

    He walks over, dropping down on the couch, the leather seat soft and familiar beneath him. He can feel his father’s careful gaze like a weight, knows he can pick up on the tension in Tim’s frame, the way his fingers crinkle the plastic bag nervously. He doesn’t bother to try and disguise his anxiety, just gets to the point. “I have to go off my suppressants.”

    Summary

    The shadow is a silhouette on the edge of the roof. She can’t see his eyes behind the blank white lenses of his cowl, but she can feel the cunning weight of his gaze as it rakes over her, a pair of predators recognizing one another. She keeps her posture relaxed. She looks back at him with steady eyes.

    She is not prey.

    She will not allow the kind boy behind her to be prey either.

    Summary

    The valet opens the door as he places a ticket under the windshield, a hot breeze lazily snaking its way into the backseat. Then, he climbs out and shuts the door behind him, and the air falls as still as a crumpled quilt.

    He doesn’t so much as glance at the backseat window as he walks away, leaving Tim alone to wait.

    And that’s… that’s probably fine! His parents did say that going to a gala with them was something for big kids to do, and he already knows big kids are supposed to be able to be able to be apart from their parents without throwing a fit, so maybe this is why. Maybe waiting like this is part of every grown-up event, and that’s why he needed to be a big boy before he could come with them.

    So yes. He can be a big boy. He can wait, alone.

    It’s even kind of exciting! He’s not sure he’s ever been completely alone, without even a nanny nearby.

    He just… well, he wishes they could have left the AC on while he waits.
