    Summary

    "Hormesis"- biological phenomenon where stress makes organisms stronger.

    Tim Drake figured out Batman's identity when he was nine years old.

    He promised he'd never reveal that secret.

    But then Robin died.

    Batman didn't need a worthless replacement. He did need help, though.

    An AU where Tim Drake never becomes Robin but can't stop trying to save Batman anyway.
