    Summary

    Beth— the name she gives him. Not a legal one, but not her street name, either— thanks him with tears in her eyes and ushers her daughter out the door before it gets dark enough to be dangerous. As they're leaving, Jason can hear her ask a question. Just one.

    "Mommy?" her little voice pipes up as they reach the doors. "Is Red Hood Santa?"

    He laughs it off with Roy later that night, making a large batch of soup to pass out to all of the girls next time he's out, but the question bounces around in his head. It stalks him on patrol, echoing in his ears every time he overhears a hushed argument between parents who can't afford to have a Christmas for their kids again this year. Every time he hears a kid on the street telling one of the older kids that they asked for a new pair of socks for Christmas.

    He breaks.

    AKA, Jason plays Santa for a month. He's also in love with Roy Harper. The two things are unrelated

    Summary

    (Catherine's smile is soft. Her hands are the same way, gentle as they card through Jason's hair. She loves him like this, when she's sober enough to remember what love is.)

    (She loves him when she's high, too, but it's the kind of love that makes Jason's skin crawl. She begs him for forgiveness, crying and telling him she loves him, until they kick in enough for her to pass out.)

    But it's not Catherine who pulls him from his second grave.

    Summary

    The first time Tim gets kidnapped, he's four years old.
    His parents are out in Malaysia on a dig. They have been for the past four months and two nannies--the last of which is yet to be replaced. So he's home alone when the most stereotypical kidnapper van ever pulls into his driveway.
    Tim, at that point in time, had yet to actually know what kidnapper stereotypes were, so he thought the van was just ugly instead of suspicious. He also had a surprising lack of stranger danger talks from... anybody. His best guess is that every nanny just assumed either his parents or the nanny before them had given him the talk and left it at that. It's not like he was out and about to be talking to strangers in the first place.
    So when a strange man walked up to the front door and said, "Hey, kiddo! Your parents asked us to bring you to the park. Why don't you get in the van?" Tim had simply gotten in the van.
    "This feels too easy," one of them murmurs to the driver. "Where's the nanny?"
    Tim speaks up, "He got fired. He's, um-" He tries to remember the word his mom used when they fired him. "Stupid." Close enough.

    (Or: Tim gets kidnapped and things spiral just a little)

    Summary

    Robin had died and Tim had saved him.

    He's been so distracted by his experiments that he hasn't been going out to follow Batman and Robin. What if something had happened and Tim wasn't there to fix them? He needs to be out there with them. He needs to be ready.

    Tim runs back into his house. He knows their patrol routes already, knows what days and times they usually go out. He can do this. It isn't any different than following them around with a camera and taking pictures, except--

    Except, he has to be more careful now. There's a no meta rule in Gotham and this certainly makes him a meta.

    aka: Tim Drake can bring people back from the dead and nothing else happens
