Summary
Jason died.
Give me a friend, Tim thought with all the firmness he could muster. Something twisted in his gut, and a weird tingling came from his fingers, the kind he got when his arm fell asleep.
All of a sudden, he was exhausted. What? Tim scowled at the feeling, forcing himself to sit up. It took him a moment to realize, but someone was standing in front of him. The edges of him - it was a boy, practically a grown-up - flickered for a moment, like static on a TV, before turning normal again.
He was dressed in bright colors, red and green and yellow like a traffic light - like Robin. The costume was torn right over where the ‘R’ was supposed to be, and it was kind of bloody - really bloody.
Gotham is a city of tragedies, wrapped up in enough grief that while Tim knows that Robin has died, he doesn't connect that to his new imaginary friend. There's no reason to; Tim is a normal boy, by Gotham's standards.
It turns out Gotham's standards are fairly abnormal.

Summary
“Here,” Jason says, passing the tray over to Damian. “Go bring Dick this.”
Damian redirects his scowl, but the furrow in his brow looks more curious than angry now. “What is it?”
“Papanasi,” he answers. “It’s, uh. It’s something his family used to make.”
Damian accepts the tray, holding it as carefully as he would delicate electronics. “And this will…make him happy?”
He doesn’t laugh at him. “Nah, kid,” he says wearily. “He’s not going to be happy until he knows his family is safe. But it’ll help.”
The smaller boy clambers down from the stool, taking care not to drop the dessert as he does. He hesitates on his way out of the kitchen. “I…am looking forward to Drake’s safe return,” he says.
Jason snorts. “For Grayson’s sake, yeah, yeah.”
“Yes,” he says, shifting on his feet. “For Grayson’s sake.” Another beat, and finally he pads out of the room, very seriously balancing the tray that looks ridiculously large in his small arms.
***
The ransom call comes the following morning.

Including his own parents.

Summary
Gotham was built on a cave system. Batman has referenced a Bat Cave before. Tim is currently in the cave system. He is in the cave system that he entered from Drake Manor. Drake Manor is right next door to where Batman- The Bruce Wayne- lives. Holy Cavern, Batman! Tim had just accidentally wandered into the Bat Cave’s cave system.
OR
Tim, having found a weird hole after a storm, decides to go exploring ignoring the fact that This Is Gotham and They Probably Have Cursed Stuff Down There.
Luckily, it was just a cave system that spans the entire Gotham underground. Unluckily, Tim is a very curious child.

Summary
Danny Fenton is not okay. TM.
Honestly? Just overall bad vibes.
But he's doing his best. Making it work. And trying not to become fully dead in the process.The Justice League is very concerned. But it's actually their fault they got involved so take that one, Batman.
John Constantine told them not to do the thing. They did it anyway.Or, Danny gets summoned by the League, and he actually kind of adopts them in the process. Because these big city heroes don't know anything about ghosts and who is he if he doesn't help them out? Besides, the Watchtower is in space. Danny's always wanted to go to space...
(I'm not really following any specific JL timeline, so like. Be prepared for 98% of everything to be *made up* and possibly *not real*.)

Summary
Batman is insulted during a Justice League mission, which wouldn't be a problem except Nightwing is there to hear it. The other League members don't know this is a problem because they have no idea Batman has kids, much less that Nightwing is one of them. Bruce decides to do the only reasonable thing: go on vacation. His children probably won't burn down anything too important.
Dick just wants to defend his family and brag about his siblings. Good thing his father taught him a few things about the importance of detailed plans and talented allies.
