    Summary

    After dying from his fight with Ra’s, Tim finds himself in a foreign universe with unfamiliar heroes and no idea of how he got there or how he would get back. He tried to avoid interfering. Really. But…Unfortunately, Tim had never dealt well with boredom. Or healthy coping mechanisms. And it’s not his fault the superheroes here were so green.

    Meanwhile, Tony would really like someone to tell him why he suddenly had a creepy kid in his workshop. How did this happen? Why did this happen? No, JARVIS… what do you mean you recommend a paternity test? Yep, nope. Tony must be going crazy. Definitely a hallucination…he did not hear that. Nope. Nuh-uh…JARVIS, mute.

    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    (If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

    Summary

    Peter Parker was not having a good year, but to his credit, he was trying. The weight of being Spider-Man in a city where every corner whispered memories that weren't really his anymore was a constant setback to his so-called "progress." He'd thought it would be a quiet morning, but his Parker Luck had other plans, landing him in... this place. Gotham wasn't exactly known for its hospitality toward outsiders, especially heroes whose themes didn't involve bats or birds.

    Summary

    The rain came down in thick, relentless sheets, drenching Tim to the bone long before he even reached the house. Wind howled through the trees, rattling the iron gate behind him, and each gust sent icy water running down the back of his neck. He could barely hear his own footsteps over the storm, but he didn’t need to—he knew where he was going.

    Wayne Manor loomed ahead, dark against the night sky, its towering silhouette broken only by the faint glow of a few scattered lights in the windows. The massive oak doors stood at the top of the stone steps, intimidating and unmoving, just as they had always been.

    He should have brought an umbrella. Anyone with half a brain would have.
    ____

     

    Tim Drake knows he’s not like Batman, or like the old Robins. He’s not supposed to be.
    But someone has to save Gotham, and someone has to remember why.
    Tim has always been good at carrying too much—this time, it might break him.

    Summary

    Scruffy beard, glasses, hair in disarray. He's in a simple button-down and jeans, no place to hide any meaningful weapons, and faces away from Driver—exposes his vulnerable side, forgoes line of sight—to crouch in front of two boys who have been so silent he only now notices.

    “C'mere,” the man mutters. He hoists one of them up and into his arms. The boy rests his cheek on the man's shoulder with a quiet sniffle, eyes squeezed shut. His small hands wrap around the man's nape in a death grip. He has a SpongeBob-patterned bandaid on his nose bridge.

    The other boy grips onto the man's shirt hem with just as much vigor, though his eyes are wide open. He looks up at Driver with pointed eyes, clear and devastatingly full of suspicion.

    They look at each other for half a moment of contemplative quiet.

    Then, softly, “What floor?” Driver asks.

    The elevator door closes.

    or

    Driver moves to the new apartment. Instead of Irene, his neighbor is kind teacher Ryland Grace with two twin younger brothers he's taking care of.
