    It’s never a good day when a mouse shows up in your kitchen. When said mouse turns out to be your sort-of-brother that you avoid like the plague, though? Even worse.

    Summary

    "I don't know why we're wasting our time with him," says Dick. "Just tell him he's not good enough already."

    It's a hallucination, like all the rest. Objectively, Tim understands that.

    But he feels the words like an icepick in his chest all the same, and a part of him knows. This version of Dick might not be real, these words might not be real, but what he's saying is true anyway.

    "Are you fucking listening to me?" says the man in the red helmet. "The big bad bat's not coming to save you." There's a crash, and when Tim turns toward it, his desk's been overturned. His laptop is lying on the floor in a tangle of cords. If any of this were actually happening, Tim might be afraid that it was broken.

    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

    Ambitious like his father, the media preached as Timothy saved DI from collapse. Clever like his mother, they wrote as Timothy bought up small seemingly unprofitable industries and made them bloom under his company’s care, bringing DI’s stocks back to their former glory within a year. A true son of Gotham, they said as Timothy developed his offices in the city and went above and beyond to pay his workers fair wages. Selfless, they called him as Timothy reduced his own salary to ensure DI would survive these changes, sacrificing his time and dreams to keep the company afloat. Tragic, they all but wrote in every article, unable to keep themselves from rehashing his parents’ deaths.

    At only 19, Tim is one of the youngest CEOs in the world. He’s certainly the youngest CEO of a fortune 200 company.

    And yet, it takes little to make his empire collapse like a house of cards.

    Summary

    “Oh,” he says. Bruce, at the head of the table, makes a ‘hn?’ sound. Tim swallows, refreshing the page on his laptop just in case he’s misread it somehow. That his professor for the semester isn’t Jonathan Crane, but perhaps Sebastian Brain. Nope. The webpage reloads and all Tim can do is sit back in his chair, astounded. “Hey, B? Crane is still in Arkham, right? He hasn’t been granted any sort of pardon, or anything that I might have missed?”
