    Summary

    ”Evening, acrobat,” Barbara greeted, her voice dry but laced with warmth. The grainy connection did nothing to blunt the edge of her smile. “What happened to you, Romeo? Try flirting with someone who can actually throw a punch?”

    Dick’s grin snapped on like a reflex. He tilted his head, let his hair fall just so, and winked into the webcam. The movement jarred his still-healing shoulder and ribs, bandaged and stiff, and made his head throb. He was probably concussed. Only lightly… maybe.

    “You know me. Can’t resist a challenge.” The line landed too easily, too smooth. He leaned back a little, hoping Barbara didn’t notice the slight sway that followed. “Besides, you should see the other guy. Real charmer. I’d have asked for his number if he hadn’t been trying to cave my skull in.”

    Barbara arched an eyebrow. Even distorted by pixels, her expression carried unimpressed precision. “Uh-huh.”

    OR:

    Five times Dick avoided answering the question "What happened to you?", and the one time he broke down.

    Summary

    Following a couple of Very Bad Weeks™ (which may or may not have involved being kidnapped and mildly tortured), Jason decides the best way to cheer himself up is to break into the Manor for a 3 a.m. snack.

    Turns out he isn’t the only one awake.

    Summary

    Tim knew he was fucked if only for the way that his brain was chanting Jason, like a litany. So he definitely didn’t need to hear the cold, mechanical chuckle or the chillingly delighted 'lucky me' to know that this was not good.

    He took a second to look down at his coffee mournfully.

    Then, he threw it at Hood’s helmet and bolted down the Tower corridor.

    Or: Tim is supposed to be at Gotham Academy for a parent-teacher conference. Hood has other plans (Titans Tower AU).

    Summary

    Tim curled up in a ball and shook with several, near-hyperventilating breaths. Jason clenched his hands into fists.

    “Hood?” came Nightwing’s tentative check-in, “How’s everything going?”

    I’m trapped under a building, he didn’t say. Tim thinks I’m going to murder him, he didn’t say. Get me out of here before I claw my own skin off, he didn’t say.

    Summary

    He has never argued with a punishment, not since he was a toddler, if then. Surely she’ll listen, surely she’ll see this is too harsh, that he wouldn’t be disrespecting her like this if he was simply sulking over not getting his way. He needs that food, needs to be able to eat enough if he wants to be Robin.

    He’s been hungry before, but back then, it never mattered if he was a little weak or dizzy. It never risked his life or the life of his partner when he was a kid.

    She turns, sighing softly and pursing her lips. She reaches out to pat his cheek, and for a moment his heart soars hopefully, and he barely restrains himself from leaning into the rare bit of contact and soaking up his mother’s touch. “Oh, Timothy,” she tuts. “This is for the best. And honestly, I think it’s wise for you to cut down a bit on the snacks. I’d hate to have to listen to anyone tittering at the next gala that you’re getting chubby.”

    And without another backwards glance, she turns and heads upstairs, leaving Tim alone and frozen at the bottom of the steps.
