Summary
When Tim Drake was 17, he faked his own death.
Three years later, a new guy has entered Gotham, with hacking skills that outmatch Oracle’s, a blade sharp enough to cut through bone, and a penchant for disappearing better than the Batman himself.
And he’s making a mark on the villain population of Gotham.
He leaves no evidence behind, nothing to mark himself by, only the remnants of his kill and a name: Cardinal- Language:

Summary
How does a child grow into becoming part of The People without being told the stories They are supposed to share by word of mouth and word on paper.
Sometimes he wonders if They were told the warnings of being alive from Their parents.
If you don’t watch, your child will be taken by a fairy.
If you don’t pay attention, a changeling will switch with your child.
If you don’t love your child, a beldam will steal them away with attention and obsession.
He wonders if They cared at all.
As Tim sits criss cross on the JL meeting table while everyone converses heatedly and worriedly about the mysterious magical creature they’ve noticed in the forest near where children have gone missing, he can't help but absently mourn the children in the photos as he thinks of memories from long ago.
Warnings are often only given too late after all.

Summary
When Tim first proposes his plan, Jason calls him batshit insane.
"Why?" Tim asks stubbornly. “It’ll be a win-win situation – I get a new life without some guardian tying me down, and you get a new life where you can eat food every day and live in a big house. You’ll probably have to go to school, but that’s the only downside I can think of. That, and pretending to be me, of course."
*
In the wake of Jack and Janet Drake's untimely death, Bruce sets out to search for their missing son, determined to adopt him. After a long, arduous search, he finally brings home a new addition to his family.
He fails to realise that the new kid living in Wayne Manor is not Tim Drake.

Summary
The fourth time Arcade woke, it was to the sight of an Enclave Eyebot staring down at him.
Being captured by Legionaries and sentenced to death isn't exactly Arcade's idea of a good time. All the same, he's not quite sure whether to be grateful when he's rescued by a strange wastelander who may or may not be a Legion spy (and, for that matter, may or may not be completely insane).

Summary
"Will I die from this? No. Does he know that? Also no. When I revive from this stupid attack I’m going to poison his breakfast, stop holding back when we spar, hide the hot chocolate, and move everything an inch to the left until he starts to lose his mind."
Or: Tim can't die and he deals with it in true emotionally stunted Batfam fashion
