Chapter Text
Songfic – Evil Angel
Characters – Tim Drake and Jason Todd
Tim laid there in the heated darkness. He could feel the melting heat of the fire raging around him and the searing pain of the smoke filling his lungs. He coughed and choked on it but it was the only thing he was able to breathe. He wasn't able to move and he felt like he was just going to pass out. This wasn't healthy and he was sure that nobody even knew that he was here. He had run away from the manor over something stupid that Jason had said and he really regretted it. He was going to die and nobody would know until it was too late and he was already dead and burned because Batman and Nightwing were out on a mission for at least another two weeks and he left without a word to Jason.
He must have passed out for a time because when he came to he saw the fire in the distance, lighting up the night sky with flame and making the air look hazy from the smoke. He closed his eyes so they would stop stinging. He felt the cool chill around him and he heard the roar of the bike he was riding on.
Bike?
He tried to think through the groggy confusion that was brought on by way too much smoke inhalation and way too little oxygen in his system.
...Jason?
Come to think of it, there was somebody in front of him on the speeding bike.
“It's all right, Baby Bird. You're safe with me.”
Tim smiled and laid his forehead against the cool leather of Jason's jacket, holding tight to his oldest brother as they sped back to the manor.
