    Summary

    The thing is, Tim is a detective, first and foremost.

    And like most detectives, sometimes he just can’t let things go.

    (Or, how Tim acquires several hundred Superboy t-shirts)

    Summary

    He also can’t exactly go licking himself, either— not because he isn’t able to, but because when one is under the mentorship of Batman, one of the aforementioned greatest detectives on Earth, one is likely to be questioned if an injury just vanishes. The first time one of Tim’s battle wounds seems to heal all too quickly, Bruce startles him by asking about it.

    “Uh,” Tim says eloquently, “Er. I suppose it just wasn’t that bad."

    Bruce looks past him at the exact point on the floor of the Batcave where Tim had lost like a pint of blood the day before.

    “Wasn’t that bad,” he echoes dryly.

    [Tim just happens to be a very large, fire-breathing lizard. He manages, until he doesn't.]

    Summary

    Bruce grunts, standing up. “Jenkins said the same. What about what you weren’t told?”

    And without dissembling, Jason says, “I think they fucked that kid up, B.”

    [Jack and Janet die. As things get weirder and weirder, it feels like Tim might be at the center of the unfolding conspiracy.]

    Summary

    “Replacement.”

     

     

    Tim freezes, gaze still locked on Jack’s prone, silent form sprawled out on the floor, and pulls the phone back to look at the number.

    It’s kind of funny, he thinks hazily. Of course he would accidentally kill his dad and then mistakenly call Jason, of all people.

    Summary

    "M-My dad said you, you’d,” the kid says, swallowing. “That if I didn’t, that if I didn’t behave, he’d sell me to you. And you, you would…”

    The shock burns away immediately; the ashes condense into a murky, muted sort of rage.

    He stays still for a long moment, then pulls himself up against the wall. “Okay,” he says monotonously, taking a step toward the kid, and the kid- flinches. He flinches.

    Jason reels back, not speaking yet, not trusting himself not to yell. And when he does speak, he says:

    “Come on, kid. Let's go say hi to your dad."
