Summary
Hood grunts. He wraps the fabric quickly, tying off the end so closely to an eyebolt on the stage floor that Tim can’t, quite, fully straighten like this. With the band wrapped from his wrists to the end of his fingers, he also won’t be able to pick at the knot with his hands. That’s fine. His plan requires him to be alone with the alpha. He’ll pick his time.
“Yeah, that’s good,” Hood praises firmly. Tim wishes he didn’t react to it, that he didn’t have a weakness for praise, but a small part of him perks up from the focused anxiety to preen at the comment. I’m pathetic. Hood only rubs another hand over Tim’s hair and turns back to Jack with a final, “Good boy, baby bird. I’ll be back to collect you in a minute.”
Baby bird.
Baby bird.
Babybirdbabybirdbabybirdbabybirdbabybir-- St-stop.Stop.STOP.
He can’t afford to fall apart right now. Red Hood knows he’s Robin. A crimelord-near-Rogue with a vendetta against Batman that the Bat himself is more secretive about than normal knows that Tim Drake is Robin.
Okay, then, even the playing field. What do I know about Red Hood?

Summary
With Shroud gone and a new normal settling into place, Robert and Flambae started going steady. To both of their surprise, things were not meant to stay that way for long. Neither of them are complaining, but the drama that comes with adding a baby to your HR nightmare of a relationship and the antics that form around it might be worth complaining about.
Thankfully, the Z-Team is doing better than ever and probably mentally mature enough to be normal about this. Probably. Maybe.

Summary
“Bruce, you would report parents like those to the police. And by the time I was with the Titans, I would too. And still, Bruce, still, I took it when you hurt me because—because I don’t know. Because maybe, somewhere along the way, I started pretending you weren’t my father.”
"Hurt you," Jason echoes, and now his voice isn't raspy because he's pretending to be Batman. Bruce hurt Dick. The first son, the favourite, the one most like him.
Bruce hurt him?
"Do you still not understand what you did? What you keep doing? ‘It is what it looks like.’ Funny how I only realised it after my death, after you beat me up and sent me away from my family.”
Dick stands up, all stiff movements. The light from outside hits him directly, and Jason realises he’s in a nightmare.
Jason was—he was dreaming. This—this man, hunched and shaking and bleeding—cannot be Dick. His brother’s face could never be dripping with blood from his father’s fists.
“Look. You’ve made me a victim,” Dick tells him.
OR
Dick finally realises Batman is an abusive piece of shit, and so do his brothers. What follows is never that simple.

Summary
Selina Kyle has always been good at keeping secrets. Especially the big ones—like the fact that the bright young hero the League knows as Nightwing is actually the boy she helped raise. But when a mission in Gotham goes sideways and Dick is left fighting for his life, the carefully built walls around her family come crashing down. And the world's greatest heroes are about to learn that the most feared man in Gotham is, above all, a father.
