Summary
He’s hurtling toward his doom. He can see that now, clearer than ever before. Slade is just on the other side of the door, waiting for him to accept it.
No matter what he does, he’s stuck here. Trapped with Slade, bound to him like the earth to the sun. There is no escaping his gravity.
But Dick wants to anyway.
or: the titans confront slade, but robin is nowhere to be found.

Summary
Timothy’s body was nothing but a byproduct of violence and death. The pit healed his wounds but left scars that burned worse. He was ugly, he knew, but it hardly bothered him. Ugly things were real and permanent. They marred the world, left their mark wherever they went. It was not his ugliness that unnerved him. It was his simplistic mind that he was ashamed of.
His body was broken but his mind was carved empty. He’d been brilliant once, he was sure. Sometimes Ra’s told him stories of his past intelligence, of the times when he called him Detective. Timothy listened to those stories with childish envy, unable to comprehend how the person Ra’s spoke of with such pride had been him.
Sometimes, he thought the Bat might love him. Then he would remember that he wasn't the one he looked at with such soft eyes and he'd think of the Tim that the Bat wanted with such visceral hatred that he scared himself.
or
Timothy forgets. Ra's lies. His family is there for him, come hell or high water.

Summary
“DON’T—!” The word tears from Tim’s throat, too late.
Wild magic slams into Nightwing dead-on, erupting in green light that swallows him whole.
When the light sputters and dies, it reveals his crumpled form. For a breath, the warehouse goes dead quiet.
The casters stare, eyes wide, as if they can’t believe they’d actually landed a hit.

Summary
“Eyes up, soldier.”
Dick obeyed. His head tilted as directed, throat exposed to the cold air, water running down the small cut at his neck. He didn’t fight the touch; didn’t even blink. His body just moved through the command like a reflex long practiced.
Slade leaned close enough that the front of his mask brushed the side of Dick’s neck, a sick parody of a kiss, his voice a low mockery meant for the family below. “This is what loyalty looks like when you know how to earn it. He doesn’t question me anymore. He doesn’t need to.”

Summary
The footsteps were slower now and circling Tim, like a predator. “Idiots. Does Robin look broken to you? Beaten down? You think he isn’t communicating with them right now? Putting on an act? Look–” the man flicked Tim’s bruised left pinkie, making it throb, “Broken and he's barely making a sound.”

Summary
“Baby Bird?” Jason’s voice shifted, softened into something almost fragile, as if he were speaking to a child. Maybe, in his eyes, Tim was exactly that. The familiar nickname—so wrong, so tender—sent a tremor down Tim’s spine. Jason never called him that. Jason never spoke to him with warmth.
Jason hated Tim.
He shut his eyes tight, praying this was just a cruel dream. But then warm hands cupped his face, grounding him. A metallic clatter echoed through the cave, sharp and final. The gun had hit the floor.
“No, no, no—don’t close those blue eyes, Baby Bird. Look at me,” this time Jason’s voice cracked into a plea. Every word trembled with fear, with a need that made Tim’s chest tighten painfully. Tim bit down on a sob, the taste of salt and blood filling his mouth, forcing himself to lift his gaze and meet the toxic green fire of Jason’s eyes once more. He could feel the tremor in Jason’s hands, the way his knees pressed into the cold floor, and it made his own body ache with tension.
Or,
Tim wakes up in Gotham, which looks too foreign, but he finds a home there.

Summary
“Robin.”
Starfire has finally spoken. Robin looks to her, wildly hopeful – a boat glimpsing the glow of a lighthouse.
She, at least, always makes sense to him. “What do you need?”
It’s nice to be asked. He swallows.
“I…I’m not sure.”
She takes his hand – a touch so genuinely kind, he can hardly stand it.
“You should at least be clean. Come.”Robin has just escaped his apprenticeship. Starfire pieces him back together.
He’s not sure he deserves it.Bookmarked by OrionBlue

It’s shaped like an S.
“Hey, Star. It’s been a while.”
Her powers falter.
Robin melts out of the dark. She takes him in with a heartsickness that never quite fades: the orange-and-black suit, the different mask, the glint of another weapon ready in his hand.Robin has been Slade’s apprentice for a year. Starfire sets out to bring him home – no matter what.

Summary
Starfire wiped her eyes. Her hands were glowing a faint acidic green, though the deeper the breaths she took, the more they faded away to her default orange. “Are there any other battle wounds from your time with Slade?”
“You don’t want to know that, Star.”
“Can’t be much worse than, what?” Cyborg ticked off his fingers as he listed, “Mutant reptile attacks, impromptu surgery, impromptu surgery but way more symmetrical this time, murderous eco-warriors, and the Batman?”
“You’d be shocked.”
“Then tell us,” Raven said, pulling the thread just a little tighter than seemed strictly necessary, Dick winced. “You keep things from us all the time, and that can’t continue from now on. So start with something small now, that way the big things come easier.”
or, after the end of the apprentice arc, the Titans take the time to patch up Robin. While doing so, they notice the concerning amount of scars he has, and he gets the chance to trust his ragtag team. Some of them have better stories than others, and some stories have nothing to do with his injuries at all.

Summary
The thief sat up sharply, trembling as a wave of dizziness washed over him. There was no blood, nor did he see the charred skin of a recent cauterization. The skin on the stump of his arm was unbroken and callused. He thought briefly of the leather straps that had held him to the chair in the dungeons. But neither the healing nor the calluses he’d seen could have developed overnight.
How long had it taken? Months? Surely not more than a year. Please, gods, tell me I didn’t lose a year of my life in Attolia’s dungeons.
And why couldn’t he remember anything after that gods-damned sword?Bookmarked by OrionBlue
