    There’s a few rings, then the phone picks up.

    “Wayne Residence.”

    That’s funny, Tim thinks, Mrs. Mac doesn’t sound like herself.

    --

    Summary

    It hurt. It hurt to breathe, air not coming out properly through his shattered ribs. He was bleeding out somewhere – everywhere – and thinking was getting harder and harder as the edges of his vision turned dark and blurry. It was harder to see the face of his old hero, his stretched out wings casting a shadow over them both. Those wings – Robin’s wings –, used to mean everything to him. Now they just mocked him. A sharp laugh echoed through the empty tower.

    “Cuckoos can't fly with broken wings.”

    As the world turned darker and the pain seemed to swallow him whole, all he could think of was how he hadn't been a bird in a long time.

    There's something missing in Tim Drake.

    Jason Todd was born and died an avian. Wings in his back were a target, a source of pain, a source of comfort; they were freedom. Now, a year into his resurrection and a reluctant peace struck between him and the Bats, a boring stakeout and itchy wings brings a side of the Replacement he never imagined.

    Summary

    “It’s shaped like a Batmobile, sounds like a Batmobile, and has operated as a Batmobile since you changed parts- it’s still a Batmobile Robin.”

    “But it’s not!” Tim argues loudly. He can see Steph out of the corner of his eye standing guiltily. “This was just me putting one of your dumb thought experiments into reality. The boat one?”

    Bruce gapes at him, “The Ship of Theseus?”

    Or

    Tim really wants Batmobile. Bruce really doesn't want him to have one.

    Summary

    One of Bruce’s many cars pulls up, and Jason waves goodbye to the secretary, opens the door and sits, starting to ask, “So, why’d you pull me out, A?”

    For a few seconds, there isn’t a response. Then, an unfamiliar voice replies; “To give you the opportunity of saving his life.”

    Jason’s already reaching for the doorhandle, ready to open the door and–

    “If you run, Alfred Pennyworth will die.”

    That stops him in his tracks. Slowly, Jason turns his head to look at the driver.

    “Buckle your seatbelt, Robin,” the Red Hood says.

     

    OR:
    Tim Drake died a hero, one whose shoes Jason can't possibly fill.
    Unrelatedly, the Red Hood is in town. He's got a robin to steal, two bats to kill, and luckily, a lot of time to spend with his kidnappee.

    Summary

    Dove has belonged to Master Beren for some time now, after being given to the man as a gift and, miraculously, not thrown away again even when Beren expressed that he had no need or want for a young brothel slave. He's beginning to trust the kindness that Beren shows him, and truly believe that this house might be safer than anywhere else.

    He gathers his courage to ask Beren to buy Fox--his friend and one-time protector, a fellow slave at the brothel. Beren brings a second boy into his home--a deeply suspicious, frightened boy who's absolutely certain that this apparent kindness and safety isn't going to last.
