    Summary

    As the door opened Tim quickly disabled another three separate electronic sensors in the doorjamb by swiping them with a device that looked a bit like a thumb drive. “Walk where I walk,” he said.

    He took a big step over the doormat, eyed the floor carefully, then took a careful skipped sidestep to another mat against the right-hand wall, where he removed his shoes.

    “What the hell?” whispered Jason, still standing in the open doorway.

    Tim pointed up. There was a net rigged up on the ceiling. “Pressure pads under the carpet.”

    “I repeat, what the hell?”

    After Tim completely derails Jason’s beatdown attempt by asking him for a hug, Jason’s first priority is to get this touch-starved kid more cuddles. Tim’s first priority is to avoid Dick’s traps.

    Jason learns a lot about his brothers and what happened while he was away, and something about himself too.

    Summary

    Bruce grunts, standing up. “Jenkins said the same. What about what you weren’t told?”

    And without dissembling, Jason says, “I think they fucked that kid up, B.”

    [Jack and Janet die. As things get weirder and weirder, it feels like Tim might be at the center of the unfolding conspiracy.]

    Summary

    Bruce doesn’t know what’s wrong with his child, but he’s pretty sure kids aren’t meant to work like this.

     

    From the day he had looked up into the tops of the circus tent and saw a frightened mirror image of a boy who had just experienced the worst day of his life, Bruce had instantly gone into emergency mode.

     

    The Gotham PD had wanted to pass the boy off into the care of the circus. The circus had mumbled underneath their breaths about superstitions, about not having a boy like that with them, about not being able to handle something like Dick. So GCPD, not knowing what to do, had started talking about one of the handful of overburdened boy homes that handles a majority of Gotham’s unlucky orphans.

     

    All the while, the camera lights flash bright and loud, wanting to know everything.

     

    Bruce couldn’t let that happen.

     

    Not then, not ever again.

    -🦇-

    Bruce is trying his best to protect the city that he loves. He doesn't know how exactly his Robins came to be- they're not fully human, not even at all. All he knows is that he wants to keep them safe.

    Summary

    The most Harry could see was a vague shadow passing the doorway a few times - his ears managed better, picking up the sounds of rattling and rearranging. Burglars, the boy thought to himself. Those are burglars.

    Probably looking for Uncle Vernon’s money and Aunt Petunia’s good silver, but for one vindictive moment Harry desperately hoped they’d take all of Dudley’s fancy electronic games and toys, too.
