    Summary

    Tim Drake never actually wanted to become part of the Robin-Batman-vigilante outfit. No, really. But the last Robin up and died, and now Batman is going crazy, and no one else is doing anything about it, so...Tim decides to become Robin. He might as well, right? At the very least it'll give him something to do while his parents are gone.

    Still, Tim's not taking up the mantle until he can put a couple of things in order. Step one? Making sure the Joker can't get it into his head to kill another Robin. Not ever again. (Good thing Tim's not the one with a 'no killing' rule.)

    And then after that? Well, after that it's only just a matter of keeping Batman from learning Tim's identity and subsequently chasing him off. Not until Bruce can get back on his feet and pick a new Robin, a real one this time. Easy-peasy.

    Sort of.

    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 conversation Tim remembered the most from his first few months as Robin strangely wasn’t the brief before his first patrol, or even the conversation where he’d convinced Batman to take him on. It was the one they’d had after the first time he’d been almost-kidnapped...

    “What’s most important of all is that you don’t stop fighting. I will get to you but if that ever happens, Tim, if you’re ever taken, you will need to be the bravest you’ve ever been. You’ll need to remember that I’m on my way to get you, and you’ll need to try to rescue yourself anyway.”

    Tim had really tried. He had. But he was so. Fucking. Tired.

    Or: When a caged bird can't even sing, what's left for them?

    Tim's been taken, and after everything it starts to feel like maybe the hardest part will be going back home.

    Summary

    “You would do it again,” Tim concluded, sighing, his tone bitter.
    Jason knew he wouldn’t. He didn’t think he could do it again. He sidestepped the question, tightening his hands around Tim.
    “I’m worried about you,” he said, softly, and Tim heard every bit of the pain and hurt Jason kept so carefully hidden away.
    He’d always thought it must have been easy for Jason to leave, since he seemed to just fall off the face of the planet, ignoring his calls, ignoring him.
    He didn’t like being wrong.
