Tim Drake is walking through the halls of the manor, speaking in a hushed tone with a grin on his face.
“Let me tell you guys something about Jason real quick. When he came back from his uh… absence, he was very much behind in terms of technology.”
-
The clip cuts to him in a different part of the manor, hiding behind a corner. The camera is at a lower angle and his eyes keep flicking up to peer around the corner.
“So Jay had this huge collection of cassette tapes, right? Albums and mixtapes and all sorts. But when he came back everyone had moved firmly on to mp3 and maybe some CDs still. Hell, cell phones were a whole experience and I consider it a personal achievement that he’s able to use TikTok at all.”
He pauses, and looks around the corner.
“Oh shi-”
-
The clip cuts again. This time, Tim is walking in the woods, slightly out of breath.
“So the tapes, right? Well when I came to live here, Alfred let me go through this collection and pick out ones I liked. As much as I hate to admit it, it was a pretty good collection. So I took a lot of it, used it, and then sold them because I like to keep up to date with technology!”
He glances over his shoulder and breaks out into a jog.
“Now, why is this relevant right now? I’m currently being hunted by the aforementioned previous owner of those tapes. Considering said owner was alive, I see the error in my ways, but, in my defense, I did not anticipate having to deal with his homicidal reaction.”
He glances over his shoulder.
“Fuck.” He breaks out into a run, raising his voice. “This is all to say that in the likely event of my sudden death, Steph cannot have the spleens, and Damian can have my blackmail material! Fuck!”
The camera falls as Tim is tackled by Jason, who is yelling incoherently. Tim yells in pain and the video ends.

Tim Drake is filming from the penthouse sofa.
“Hi. I’m alive. I am also quite bruised and therefore taking refuge in the penthouse.
Damian walks past the back of the sofa, whacking Tim on the head with a cushion as he goes. Tim falls dramatically to lie on his side, scowling.
“Fuck you too, brat!”
