“So we’re agreed, right?” Percy asked. “Bruce Wayne’s definitely a monster.”
“Or a god in disguise,” Hazel volunteered.
“Or a god in disguise,” Percy agreed. He slumped against the table. “Now how do I tell Mom?”“We just worry, B.” Dick leaned against the banister. “I’ve seen you get your heart broken too many times, you know? You have a habit of dating…”
“Supervillains,” Tim finished.
“I was just going to say terrible people, but that works,” Babs agreed.

Summary
“Jason—” Tim's flailing hands were caught and secured behind his back.
“No,” Jason snapped. “You’re exhausted. You're going to get yourself killed.”
“What are you doing?” Tim’s voice was strained with desperation. His thrashing was getting weaker and that alone was evidence enough that Jason had made the right decision.
“I’m putting you down for a nap,” Jason said, throwing him bodily onto the bed. “Since you’re apparently incapable of taking care of yourself.”
“Stop it,” Tim said, scrambling to the other end of the bed. “This isn’t funny, Jason.”
“I’m not laughing.” Jason caught him by the ankle and yanked him back. Sprawled on his back beneath Jason, Tim twisted in vain.
In one large hand, Jason caught Tim’s wrists and pulled them up above his head. Before Tim could so much as blink, Jason had locked a pair of cuffs around his bony wrists and looped them through the headboard.
“Jay? What—” Tim jerked against the restraints, panic leaking into his voice.
“Shh,” Jason said firmly, brushing a thumb over Tim’s cheek. “I know. But you’re tired, baby bird. You need to rest.”
Or, Tim's not been taking care of himself. Jason is determined to do something about it.

Summary
When he ends up ditched in Atlanta after a fight with his dad, Tim decides to do the only sensible thing: Tell no one and make the 800 mile journey back to Gotham on his own.
Because the "call Batman when you're in trouble" rule only applies when he's Robin, right?

Summary
The guard stared at him for a moment, blue eyes blown wide behind his mask.
It was then the Pythia looked down at the hand outstretched between them. The prosthetic was made of intricately carved metal, covered in vines and flowers twisting together with the shimmer of enchantments reflecting in the purple glow.
And although the guard’s sleeve was covering his wrist, he knew that in the place where metal met flesh, there was a pair of dark angel wings tattooed on his skin.
He was right. This wasn’t a real guard.
This was a Deathling.
or, Wilbur is an oracle known as the Pythia, chosen to receive dreams of the future from the goddess Clara. One day, he receives a dream warning him that during a ball Emperor Schlatt is hosting, the Deathlings—terrorists who worship the goddess of Death—will launch an attack. When his warning goes ignored, he knows there's going to be consequences.
He doesn't expect one of those consequences to include him getting kidnapped by a teenager.
