Summary
"So." Tim said into comms as the guy smacked Jason so hard he went flying into a dumpster. "Is there a plan?"
"Do not get hit by the ray gun." Bruce rumbled in response, using his grapple to launch himself into a powerful dropkick that almost managed to knock the guy down. "We still don't know what exactly it does."
"Well, that's obviously Luthor tech, so I think it's probably safe to assume it's got something to do with dimensional bullshit." Jason levered himself up using the lip of the dumpster, sounding rightfully pissed.Or
Tim Drake gets zapped to another universe just after retrieving Bruce from the timestream and finds out it's a world where Jason never died and the version of himself that exists in that world never got involved with the Bats. From there, he makes a few dubious plans and does all he can to protect a family that isn't his.

Summary
"Hurt . . . ? They're not . . . they're not hurt." Tim sounded breathy, not quite fully there. "They're not hurt."
Something hysterical crept into Tim's voice as he spoke. Jason straightened up, eyes fixed on Dick, picking up on the tension crawling up Dick's spine.
"Tim, I need you to tell me what's happening." Dick kept his voice even. "Who are you talking about?"
"They're . . . My parents." Tim swallowed audibly. "I'm talking about my parents."
"Okay, your parents." Dick paced towards the door to the apartment, checking for the keys to his bike in his pocket. "So, you said they're not hurt, but you need me there?"
"I don't know what to do . . . I've never . . . I mean, I . . . they've never been dead before."Or; In the wake of Janet and Jack Drake's murders, Bruce gets custody of Tim and has to figure out how to take care of a grieving child, two child weapons, a spiraling eldest child, a murderous second child, and Stephanie Brown.

Summary
Batman and his ilk were notoriously, fastidiously, pathologically private people.
It was a well known fact, practically a law of the universe.
Which was why Conner was having an incredibly difficult time with the request being made of him.
"Sorry, you want me to what?" Conner's disbelief was potent enough to overrule his well-learned fear of Batman almost entirely.
"Red Robin is in a compromised state." Batman's tone was as stony as ever, his form looming and intimidating as he spoke to Conner. "He has . . . made it clear to me that you are his . . . preferred avenue of rectifying the situation."Or; Red Robin gets dosed with sex pollen and asks Batman to ask Conner to help him out ;)

Summary
Tim knew Gotham was dangerous, of course he did, but he was careful as he wandered the streets at night.
He wore solid boots, dark clothes, and carried a backpack with first aid supplies, water, and snacks. He'd taken self defense classes and made sure he didn't look like an easy target. Ensuring his clothes were secondhand and worn and his boots were scuffed. On top of all that, he avoided the roughest areas in the city, keeping to the rooftops and away from the actual action he sought to photograph.
Tim was as prepared as he could've been for any situation he might've encountered on Gotham's streets.
Well, he thought he was, until he ran into the metahuman.Or; Tim Drake is split in two by a metahuman, put back together years later, and has to figure out how to deal with everything in the aftermath
