Summary
The pings were all from Overse’s interface and routed from a transit ring called Trans-All, the kind of ping that was just are you in range – are you in range – are you in range. It was a call for help and it fucking terrified me, because I was answering it way, way too late.

Summary
About two years after Bruce returns from the timestream, everything is going pretty well. Then someone hacks the Batcomputer from afar, claiming to be Tim and in need of help. But there’s a problem: Tim’s dead. …Right?
(When Tim was working to save Bruce from being lost in time, Ra's al Ghul found out about Tim's doomed clone experiments and had an idea. Of course, after Tim escapes and destroys much of the League of Assassins in the process, it takes a bit for Ra's to put his idea into practice, but late is better than never! At least, it's better for Ra's.)

Summary
Tim Drake has always been something other in every situation. He accepts that with the grace he was raised to portray. He knows what he means to the people around him and he expects it when Dick brushes past taking Robin away and making him a Justice League fugitive. He expects it when Bruce doesn't do more than nod after the year from hell. He even expects it when he returns from four years of nightmares with Ra's, victorious, but clearly not missed by the people who could have saved him. He expects it, but that doesn't make it hurt less.
Or
Ra's takes the battle with Tim a step further in new horrifying ways. Tim wins, but going home doesn't feel like a reward anymore.

Summary
Tim Drake is eleven years old when he’s grabbed off the streets of Bristol while he’s on his way home. It will be okay, he tells himself: they’ll call his parents, and they’ll pay the ransom, and he’ll get to go home.
There are pictures of Batman and Robin on the camera he was carrying. A lot of pictures.
They don’t call his parents. They call Black Mask.
-
or: the one where Black Mask kidnaps Tim and tries to groom him into a ruthless heir, and Tim tries to figure out how to destroy him from the inside out.General warnings tagged, anything not covered by those is in end-of-chapter notes to avoid spoilers.
