Summary
“Drake,” Damian says, clicking his tongue. “We are not prepared for unknown variables. Someone knowing would undoubtedly change how they act, which would have a snowball effect on the rest of the day. Therefore rendering our knowledge useless.”
“This doesn’t concern you, Grayson,” Damian dismisses. Tim stomps over, raises his hand, and Dick prepares to break up a fight between the two.
Instead, Tim simply grabs Damian by the shoulders, spinning him around and off the bed so his back is pressed against his front. His palm finds Damian’s mouth, and the younger begins squirming in the hold. “Dick, we’re caught in a time-loop,” Tim says, raising his voice over the muffled protests of the boy in his arms.
What? “What?” Dick asks, trying to comprehend the statement.
Dick doesn't know when his brothers got so close, considering how last week the two almost came to blows over a missing batarang, but it's seeming a little... obsessive.

Summary
Jason died.
Give me a friend, Tim thought with all the firmness he could muster. Something twisted in his gut, and a weird tingling came from his fingers, the kind he got when his arm fell asleep.
All of a sudden, he was exhausted. What? Tim scowled at the feeling, forcing himself to sit up. It took him a moment to realize, but someone was standing in front of him. The edges of him - it was a boy, practically a grown-up - flickered for a moment, like static on a TV, before turning normal again.
He was dressed in bright colors, red and green and yellow like a traffic light - like Robin. The costume was torn right over where the ‘R’ was supposed to be, and it was kind of bloody - really bloody.
Gotham is a city of tragedies, wrapped up in enough grief that while Tim knows that Robin has died, he doesn't connect that to his new imaginary friend. There's no reason to; Tim is a normal boy, by Gotham's standards.
It turns out Gotham's standards are fairly abnormal.

Summary
Tim has rescued Bruce from floating around the past, but lost everything else that matters to him.
Now that he’s alone, teamless, no longer a Wayne, or Robin… what’s left for Tim?Jason looks murderous. “God DAMN it, Tim, this was not the situation I had in mind when I generously taught you how to be a younger brother out of the kindness of my heart!”
Even more shocked by this, Dick asks incredulously, “You, Jason Todd-Wayne, tried to give younger brother lessons? Where did you even get the audacity?”
Jason rounds on him hotly. “Bitch, you wish you knew how to be a younger brother!”
“FOCUS,” Tim demands. “We’ve got like, an hour to pull this off.”

Summary
The first letter arrived right to Tim's desk.
He didn’t think much of it at first. It was a plain white thing, a tidy little card tucked unobtrusively in amongst the stack of memos and reports from other departments that his secretary had left on his desk. He spent several minutes getting settled before he even really glanced at it.
Finally, he began scanning his stack, zeroing in on the card only because it looked more interesting than a memo.
The cardstock was good quality. It landed in his palm with a satisfying schlak.
The handwriting on the card was… odd.
Neat, perfectly legible, but shaky - like a child anxiously practicing their letters. It was so nice speaking with you the other day, it read. I hope you’ll make time for me again sometime soon!
It was punctuated with a little crooked smiley face that had been crossed out and redrawn, too carefully to look natural. The eyes were perfect, ballpen circles.

Summary
Child neglect isn't all bad, Tim tells himself when his parents sends apologies and mail-delivered gifts and an increased credit line for his 10th birthday. None of the other ten-year-olds have this kind of independence -- even Robin has a bedtime. And he's heard from Ives that his parents limit his "screentime", which sounds quite barbaric. So this is fine, really. He's ten and will be starting eighth grade in the fall. He doesn't need his parents in order to thrive, he can grow on his own, in the shadow of their neglect and inattention. He can be their set-it-and-forget-it kid.
-----
Tim is doing great being an independent vigilante, he's fine! He doesn't need help, he's definitely not estranged from the family -- he's just being independent.
Good thing he's part of a family of detectives who have their own ways of reaching out.
Featuring two powerpoints, one casefile, half a contract, a roomba, and several hugs.
