Summary
Bruce Wayne was never meant to be part of Selina’s clean slate. Then again, neither were a circus boy, a street rat or a rich kid.

Summary
“Tt,” Robin huffs, coming over to crouch beside Tim, his cape swishing out behind him. “I do not comprehend my Grandfather’s obsession with you, Drake, you are clearly incompetent,” he says, but the words don’t sound angry, just exasperated.
Tim should probably be irritated with the fact that it is Damian of all people that has found him completely useless and vulnerable on the floor, but Tim just can’t find it in himself to care. “And hello to you too,” Tim sighs.
(Or: Five times that Tim Drake did not wake up in his own bed)

Summary
He’s not the first child with nowhere else to go that Bruce Wayne has taken in. Dick Grayson was the first and the most high-profile – because no one would have thought Bruce Wayne was interested in ever raising a child, let alone the orphaned son of circus performers – but Jason was maybe just as much of a shock to society for being a street kid who came out of seemingly nowhere. Tim Drake is ordinary by comparison – his parents died in a plane accident. He can’t think of anything very special about him except that he met Bruce a few times when his parents hosted parties to keep in touch with Gotham society.
Or, tiny Tim Drake is adopted by the Waynes a little earlier than scheduled.

Summary
Tim has a lot of hopes for his family, but more than anything, he hopes that they'll be okay without him. Because he's definitely about to die in this dingy warehouse in front of his little brother.
He just hopes Damian knows that he cares.

Summary
One night, Robin spots a kid with an overnight bag on a rooftop, and he jumps to the obvious conclusion: the kid's trying to run away. The kid is doing a really bad job of it, though, and that's the sort of thing Robin just has to correct.
Except the kid is Tim Drake, and Tim isn't actually trying to run away. But "running away" does sound a little better than "stalking bat-themed vigilantes through the crime-infested streets of Gotham every night." So he lets Robin have this one.
Besides, that's the end of it, right? Robin might have found Tim once, but no one ever looks for Tim a second time. Robin can think whatever he wants. They'll never see each other again.
(They see each other again.)
