    Summary

    Jason Todd died knowing he was loved. His resurrection took even that from him. Turns out he came back to life needing saving just as much as he did when he left it.

    Thankfully the Bats and Birds have always specialised in impossible rescues. And while love can't fix everything having proof of it can't hurt.

    aka. In a world where the names of those who love you inscribe themselves upon your skin Jason's resurrection plays out a little differently.

    Summary

    Bruce doesn’t know what’s wrong with his child, but he’s pretty sure kids aren’t meant to work like this.

     

    From the day he had looked up into the tops of the circus tent and saw a frightened mirror image of a boy who had just experienced the worst day of his life, Bruce had instantly gone into emergency mode.

     

    The Gotham PD had wanted to pass the boy off into the care of the circus. The circus had mumbled underneath their breaths about superstitions, about not having a boy like that with them, about not being able to handle something like Dick. So GCPD, not knowing what to do, had started talking about one of the handful of overburdened boy homes that handles a majority of Gotham’s unlucky orphans.

     

    All the while, the camera lights flash bright and loud, wanting to know everything.

     

    Bruce couldn’t let that happen.

     

    Not then, not ever again.

    -🦇-

    Bruce is trying his best to protect the city that he loves. He doesn't know how exactly his Robins came to be- they're not fully human, not even at all. All he knows is that he wants to keep them safe.

    Summary

    “Dick!” Duke’s voice preceded him as he turned the corner into the kitchen. “How was— Oh sh-shoot,” he said, mincing the oath in Alfred’s presence. “You got feathers!”

    Dick felt the wings twitch self-consciously. The keratin-covered pin feathers rattled together. “I don’t know if they count as feathers yet.”

    “You look like a rotisserie chicken had a run-in with a porcupine,” Tim shouted from the top of the stairs.

    “Yeah, thanks for that.” Dick rolled his eyes.

    “You’ll be flying before you know it,” Duke said confidently.

    Dick Grayson has two new limbs growing out of this shoulders. In theory, it's really, really cool. In practice, new bones and new organs are a lot to get used to.

    Summary

    So, it didn’t start out like this.

     

    Alfred would scoff at the statement, about how Bruce was trying to justify the whole situation to himself. It had started out as a simple design, black everything with black outlines and black hood. It got a little more intense as the world went on, got wind of his ghost on the streets, and became scared of The Bat . So Bruce got a little more creative with it, Alfred and him had a good laugh over the name, the scare, and Alfred had a vicious streak of humor that he had passed onto his ward-

     

    So now the suit had a visible bat-theme, an insignia to drape in the shadows and to paint across the streets of Gotham.

     

    It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:

    “ The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”

    --

    A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.

    Wild has lost too many people to let anyone else he loves be hurt.
