    Summary

    "Odysseus was clever, but his vanity and ego would have killed him long before his return home if not for his wife.”

    “Penelope?” Tim asked.

    “Exactly, child, Penelope," his nanny smiled. "The men of Ancient Greece would have you believe that she was idle, waiting for her husband to come home and solve her problems, but this is far from the truth. For routine and ritual are not powerless things. In pouring her love for her son and husband into her weaving, she called out to the goddesses Hestia and Hera. Despite never lifting a finger in violence herself, Penelope saved her family.”
    --
    Tim finds that there are more ways to protect the Bats than just Robin. A little magic never hurt anyone, after all.

    Summary

    Tim twisted out of his assailant's loosened grip and saw - a kid, only a few years older than Tim himself, holding a tire iron in one hand and a backpack in the other. Tim’s backpack. He was thin, but more in a lean way than skin and bones, and he was glaring daggers at the man who had attacked Tim.

    The boy swung the tire iron in a circle and stalked closer to the man, who looked oddly intimidated. “Get out,” he said lowly.

    “I’m not little,” Tim protested automatically. The boy gave him a flat look. “Give me my bag.” He paused. “Please.”

    “You’re a shrimp.” The boy kept the backpack out of reach. “Give me your name.” There was no please, which Tim thought was rude, but he had saved Tim. Ish.

    “Tim. And you are?”

    The boy raised an eyebrow at him, clearly amused by Tim’s introduction. “Jason. And you still haven’t told me what the hell you’re doing here. You tryin’ to get mugged?”

     

    In which Jason leaves the Batmobile alone in favor of helping the kid getting mugged.

    Summary

    “Surrender and it stops. The pain stops, birdie.”

    “Never,” Tim had snarled, and lunged, because Robins didn’t give in.

     

    Tim was standing in front of Jason’s memorial. His suit in the glass case, each rip carefully stitched, each bloodstain carefully washed. Tim backed away, straight into Hood’s chest. “What - what are you doing?”

    “Putting the newest Robin in his place. Robin is pointless, Tim. Something that should’ve been left in the past after this one-” Hood gestured sharply at Jason’s uniform, which was something he shouldn’t have known about, “- went and died. Children shouldn’t be fighting, trained or not.”

    Tim shook his head automatically, halfway to protesting, when Hood pulled the case open, the front sheet of glass swinging like a door. That should be - that should be locked. It took Tim a moment to process what Hood was planning, didn’t realize until Hood carelessly pulled the suit out, watching it spill on the floor, then pushed Tim forward.

     

    Tim had never felt more free than he did flying as Robin, until Robin became another pretty cage.
