    Summary

    The room is silent except for Dick’s harsh, stuttering breaths.

    “Tim?”

    Tim doesn’t answer. He can’t. His body doesn’t work. His voice is gone. Dick reaches toward him—

    —and Tim takes a single, instinctive step back.

     

    Or: Dick learns Tim isn’t dead after almost dying himself. Tim isn’t sure how to feel about it.

    Or: Sometimes loving yourself means loving someone else at a distance.

    Summary

    “Do you know what universe you’re from?”

    Red Robin blinks. “Um. Not exactly.”

    Strange considers him. The suit is armored but light; his stance screams combat training; his eyes — what Stephen can see of them, anyway — are sharp and tired all at once.

    And he’s a child. Not literally — a teenager, maybe — but he is still too young to be saying things like “grenade launcher” with that much nonchalance.

    “This,” Strange says finally, “is not my problem.”

    Summary

    Tim always gave them names. He never told anyone that he named them all. He never mentioned how he would spend all night awake in his bed when the large letters of "ATTEMPT UNSUCCESSFUL” appeared on the screen.

    It wasn’t like Tim could just leave and go outside. Tim was only allowed to go to the lab with the white walls and green tubes.

    Tim just wanted a friend to talk to. He was so tired of being alone.
