    Summary

    When he ends up ditched in Atlanta after a fight with his dad, Tim decides to do the only sensible thing: Tell no one and make the 800 mile journey back to Gotham on his own.

    Because the "call Batman when you're in trouble" rule only applies when he's Robin, right?

    Summary

    "The bat symbol on his chest was red," Dick continues, as if Jason didn't speak. "He came out of nowhere and I tried to stop him, but it was dark. He was quick and ruthless, and – he moved exactly like Bruce."

    What happened was this:

    Years ago, a father and a son went to Ethiopia. Only the son came back.

    Or so they thought.

    Summary

    He wondered where Jason was right now, what he was doing. Probably sleeping, he hoped. Yes, that was it. Fast asleep in his apartment, probably wrapped up like a turtle in the covers. Drooling on his pillow. Blissfully dreaming of muscle cars and guns, or whatever it was teenagers dreamed of. Even though he was twenty now, and not a teenager anymore.
    ___
    Or, Bruce deals with some late-night drasticizing and reacts like a traumatized father of a dead son would.

    Summary

    Is it running from your problems if your problems consider you to be a dead imprint of consciousness that killed their son? Yes, but Danny tries not to think about how his nightmares of his parents trying to kill him came true when they found out he was Phantom.

    After being on the run from his parents and the government for a couple of months, moving from town to town, Danny ends up in Gotham City and decides to risk staying in Batman's territory. He'd take the wrath of Batman over live vivisection via beloved parents or being studied and torn apart by the government. Besides, he's not a meta. Being dead is a medical condition.

    Summary

    "We have a birthday cake here for you," Dick explains, voice soft. "Do you remember those? There's all these candles here for you to blow out, and then we each eat a piece of the cake."

    The only indication that Jason is still alive and there is the slow blinking of his eyes at almost leisurely intervals.

    ~

    The Batfam rallies to make Jason's 18th(?) birthday as special as can be. That's kind of hard to do when Jason is struggling to even stay present.
