Summary
Caine likes routines. Create adventures, send humans on those adventures. Rinse, repeat.
Nowadays, his routine is categorised into three parts: the sessions, the aftermath, and the wait.

Summary
Kinger mumbles an affirmative under his breath. The sound of scratching on paper grabs Caine's attention, only just noticing the notepad in the other's hand. He watches the pencil dance across the paper, slightly entranced by the movement, until it stops and Kinger's attention is back on him. "Alright. What's the last thing you remember?"
Nothingness. The absence of himself. A moment that never existed, yet he knows the time passed, so something has to be there. Even if it isn't. Even if he wasn't. He thinks this, and comes up with a response that makes sense with the context he has in his mind. He doesn't compute how it will come across when all he has to say is:
"Nothing."
OR:
Caine is dead. Then, he isn't. Not because the humans wanted to see him again, not because they felt bad, but because the circus couldn't survive without him. To top it all off, he was only brought back to begin with thanks to one teeny, tiny little condition:
He can no longer use his powers.

Summary
No, it could not possibly be cruel, they were bringing him back from the dead, this was a kindness.
This belief was eventually reinforced when it was time to bring Caine back. The process, surprisingly, was incredibly simple. The circus worked just like any other computer system, with deleted items just ending up in the recycle bin. It had luckily not been long enough for Caine to be properly deleted.
It was just a matter of dragging his code out of there, making some minor modifications so he couldn't go on a rampage again, and spawning his model into the prepared room.There was no fuss, everything seemed to be running perfectly.
No one considered that maybe that isolated room near the end of the hallway was just out of earshot.
---
Aka, Caine gets brought back, but in a spare room, and ends up getting tortured by complete accident because no one realizes that might be a bad idea

Summary
There was a problem. An issue, a minor error. Something in the code that clearly wasn't working correctly.
What if after the events of episode 7, Caine decides that the players unhappiness and general issues with the circus are his fault, and he goes about fixing that in the worst way possible.

Summary
And then he could hear them moving closer and it was weird because he didn't intend to move his avatar, but he was stumbling backwards before he computed why. His back's impact with the wall behind him made them pause again.
"Was that..?" Pomni whispered.
"Be careful." Kinger spoke back, just as quiet, "He's broken out from here before."
Caine's arms felt itchy - and that was idiotic because he was a machine who didn't feel itchy - and his eyes were buzzing between his jaw, and he slowly slid his hands across the hitbox of the wall to feel less wobbly on his feet.
---
The humans find Caine in his box
They're expecting a raging, revenge-ridden AI who curses them for trapping him away - however accidentally it was. They're expecting him to order them to let him out.They aren't expecting him to beg.

Summary
He is saved from permanently being deleted, but the Caine that returns is no longer the same AI that once offered all the fun in the world in a silver platter. Damaged by the remains of Able and broken down into a shell of himself, Caine barely reacts. Any other genuine reaction to them is fear. Pomni, convinced that despite his wrongdoings he still deserves compassion, makes it her mission to help the AI recover emotionally while Kinger tries to fix his coding and get rid of the effects of Able’s torture.
As the Digital Circus grows quieter and more uncertain, the group is forced to confront a difficult question: can something that was never human truly heal, or is Caine too broken to ever return to who he once was? If so, is forgiveness even an option?

Summary
Re-writing the events of Episode 8 differently and going from there. What happens when you continually reject an AI with abandonment issues who’s purpose is to make things that make you happy?
Basically Caine has a breakdown instead of crash out.

Summary
"Did you see?" says Dick, and he lets go of Tim's shoulders to take him by the arm, tugging him toward the kitchen instead of the Batcave. "Alfred made cookies."
"Think he's trying to lure you in," says Tim, with a huff of a laugh. "Like one of those traps they bait for raccoons."
"Raccoons are too smart for that, baby bird," says Dick, blithely, and swipes up one of the bait-cookies anyway, biting into it with an appreciative little hum.
Tim finds somewhere else to look — fixes his gaze on a spot on the far wall, trying hard to ignore the way the kitchen smells of cinnamon and nutmeg and sugar. His stomach twists a little, hopeful, and he tells it firmly that these aren't for him. They're Dick's welcome-home cookies.

Summary
“You were supposed to help me,” Tim says. The accusation is more resigned than angry.
What did he think Bruce would do? Honestly? Adopt him on the spot?
“This is help,” Bruce says, worming a nail under Tim’s fingers, peeling them away one by one. He backs away from Tim, glancing between the officers, and leaves, ignoring the betrayal Tim is aiming at him.

AKA:
Tim's parents died on March 17th.
On May 3rd, Tim shows up on Bruce Wayne's doorstep begging for help.

Summary
“Batman was getting dangerously close to crossing a line that Tim had been so sure he would never cross.
“It became obvious to Tim that Batman needed a Robin. He was this close to tracking down Dick just to get him to take back the role. It would have exposed that Tim knew the truth, but it would have been worth it. And if Dick wouldn't do it, if it really came down to it? He’d throw on tights if he had to, drag Batman back to the light himself.
“Batman needed a Robin. And maybe that's why Tim was so relieved when Spoiler, a young vigilante clad in purple, showed up out of the blue and refused to leave Batman alone.”
Or,
Seventeen year old Tim Drake, CEO and stalker extraordinaire, has known the truth about the Bats ever since he was a kid. But he never put on the Robin suit.
Following a gala and breakout at Arkham, Tim reluctantly finds himself drawn into the Batfamily’s orbit. And although no secret stays buried forever, nobody could have predicted the disaster to come.
Or,
A Tim joins the batfamily late au!

Summary
“You saw the body?” Jason asks. It’s a stupid question—of course Tim saw it. Tim was the one who found it, who rolled it into the carpet in the first place. But there’s a second question wrapped up in his strangled tone, which is: Are you okay after seeing the body?
Tim just purses his lips, almost indignant. “This isn’t the first time I’ve seen a corpse before, Jason.”
Right, Jason thinks, but it’s the first time the corpse has been your own fucking dad.

Tim is desperate to keep his father’s death a secret from Bruce at all costs. Which is how he ends up hiding a body with Jason Todd, of all people.

Summary
There's so much... red. It coats the translucent ivory of Tim's skin, snaking down in scarlet rivulets. The viscous red coats Tim's fingers, lazily dripping off his scarred palm to join the scarlet puddle decorating the cream linoleum floor of his ensuite bathroom.
aka Damian hears a commotion and refuses to leave without answers--especially when Tim is refusing to give them.

Summary
Tim just wants to protect his baby brother. The only problem is he can't seem to outsmart Bruce and has no idea which of the bats (if any) he can trust. So, some drastic measures must be taken.
It's not what he wants to do, but they didn't leave him much choice. He doesn't feel too bad about it though. After the 'test' Bruce gave him for his 16th birthday, well, he won't make Damian go through the same thing, if he can help it. At the very least, he won't make Damian do it alone.
It just happens, sometimes, that a difficult case forces Tim to put sleeping and eating a bit lower on his list of priorities. That's fine, Tim is used to not getting what he needs.

Summary
When the Bats are enlisted to rescue the Red Hood, Tim is unknowingly exposed to fear toxin.
His reaction is far from typical.
Cue a very chaotic sequence of events that unravel after that, with lots of hurt and glimpses of comfort interlaced between.

Summary
Tim doesn't like his medication. He feels really weird lately, and he's certain it's because of the blue pills. Yet every time he thinks too hard about it, his thoughts trail off until he can't remember what they were.
"The pills are good for you, Timothy." His parents tell him. "Don't you remember how much you struggled before? How disobedient you were? Look at you now, you never argue or ask those obnoxious questions anymore."
The worst part is, they're right. Tim doesn't argue or ask questions anymore. Mostly because half of the time when he goes to speak, his words have abandoned him before he even opens his mouth.
(Tim's brain is super messed-up. Good thing his parents have medicine to help him.)
(The Drakes don't appreciate that their son is extra intelligent in all the wrong ways, so naturally they start drugging him from age six and on.)
