    Summary

    Recovery (noun)

    1. a return to a normal state of health, mind, or strength.

    2. the action or process of regaining possession or control of something stolen or lost.

    Or: in a universe where Jason wasn't killed by the Joker, where Tim's parents die on a plane accident when he's 13 years old, his uncle Eddie steps up to take care of him per his parents request.
    Once Eddie shows his true colors, Tim will have to fight not just only to survive, but to take back what has been stolen from him. It’s a good thing he won’t have to do it alone.

    Summary

    Dick Grayson hugs the way most people breathe: easy and natural, like it's a necessary part of living.

    Tim's wrapped up in one now, his brother's arms all the way around his shoulders, tugging him in close.

    He's never told Dick that the first hug he can remember is that day at the circus, from a stranger who would in time be family. He's never told Dick that the next hug he remembers after that is nine years later, caught up in those same strong arms. He thinks he'd rather die than admit it.

    "You're not hurt?" Dick is saying. "Nothing cruel and unusual, right?"

    "She only let me have one cup of coffee a day," says Tim, very dry, and Dick makes a strange sort of a sound, almost a laugh, and tightens his hold so much it sweeps Tim right off his feet.

    Summary

    Tim learned two very important lessons early in his life. One: children are to be seen and not heard. But preferably, they’d be neither. And two: logic was the only way to survive. Lessons learned in childhood tend to stick, and so do the fears.

    Or: Tim gets hit with fear toxin, and Bruce learns Tim's quiet efficiency is not a strength, but a trauma response.
