    Summary

    “How can I help you today?”

    The boy blinked, glanced back towards the door as if considering walking right on out again.

    Good, he should leave, there’s still twenty people behind him.

    Because Gotham hates Kel personally, the boy didn’t leave. He turned fully towards her, not quite meeting her eye.

    “Tim Drake.” He said quietly. “I have double pneumonia.”

    Kel blinked.

    The boy blinked back.

    He was fine, he was literally fine. Someone with double pneumonia doesn’t look like that, not to mention he was barely what, fifteen? Sixteen?

    “I’m sure you don’t feel very well,” Kel said, summoning her best customer service understanding voice. “But pneumonia mostly affects older populations. Go home and take some aspirin.”

    Summary

    There’s a long, drawn-out pause. Wayne steps forward, dipping his head down to Peterson’s level.

    “Did you touch my ward, Brandon?” he asks, painfully quiet.

    Summary

    Trust your horse, Hosea told him, all those years ago. Nineteen, almost twenty years, now. How time flies. How easy it makes it when he closes his eyes, leans forward and whispers, with the last of his strength, Get me home, sweetheart.

    Other Batman’s jaw clenches. He does not answer immediately.
    The whole fucking League visibly draws back.

     

    In which Bat has instituted very strict measures for handling alternate versions of himself, and the Justice League finds out why.
