Chapter Text
Tim drake, the famous Timothy Jakeson Drake, was on the street with a boy named Jason todd, surprised right? Tim was around 10 years old and Jason was around 12 years old, just two years of difference, Jason met Tim around six months ago, Tim was freshly kicked out of his house, as he spotted Jason being beaten by men twice his size, Tim had kick the man that was hitting him and grab him by the hand and run, Jason wanted to repay him and bought him lunch, but he quickly got attached to the kid and now they are together walking the street of crime alley in search for money and food
Jason was a few inches taller and he is more build but skinny, and Tim was shorter and less build, he had more feminine features he knew since a young age, and everyone he met always said that he looks exactly like his mother, and Tim wasn’t really bothered by that, but one thing that he didn’t like was his dad friends saying how much he looked like a girl and that give him the creeps
the young boy slam against Jason’s back, their arrived at a dark alleyway, Tim knew what Jason wanted to do was dangerous, but he still went along because he grown to trust Jason even if he did stupid things like this one, he stop, as he was standing right in front of Batman's car, with Jason at his side,
Tim knew who Batman is he figured it out for a while now, “do you really think this is a good idea?" he asks still sceptical "of course it is!" Jason answered as he extend his hand, and Tim handed him the tire iron over, He stand right at the entrance of the dark alleyway were the batmobile was parked at, Jason began taking the first tire off
he turn to look at Jason, as he heard a small thud, he turn and saw the Batman himself walking towards the alleyway, his eyes widen with fear? excited? he wasn't sure himself, as Jason grabbed him from his arm and run "lets go before we get caught!" he whispered not wanting Batman heard him, Tim turn to look at Jason, the older boy grab the tire and start to run with tim still behind him running as well
their both breathe heavily, as Jason starts to laughs “what’s so funny?” tim asked confused “we just steal from the freaking Batman himself!” Jason said between laughs, he starts to laughs as well, as Jason pet Tim’s head,
a question that everyone is probably asking, how did Timothy drake ended up in the streets, especially of those of crime alley, maybe it was the fight with his parents, the one where they found out he likes both boys and girls, or maybe the fact that he liked Batman and his parents didn’t “come on lets go sell this tire” Jason voice snap Tim out of his head as he look at him, “mmh?” he said looking at Jason, “i said lets go sell this tire” he wave a hand in front of Tim’s eyes “yeah lets go” he answered, as he helped Jason lift the tire” i can do it on my own” Jason lift the tire by his own,
Tim follow behind, as they arrived in a alley where a man, well more than one was waiting for them “here Batman’s car tire itself” Jason said as he place the tire down “you said 200 for one tire, where are the money” Jason cross his arms, and Tim stay behind him, an hand on his arm “well young man, i think i change my mind” the man take the tire “hey! thats not far! i- we when from all the trouble to the that tire, you can’t take it!” Jason anger voice grown “not my problem” The man lift the tire, as Jason kicked him “ah-, you little rat!” the man touched his leg and his men step forward for grabbing both Kids, as Jason took Tim’s hand and starts running, Tim follows behind even though he was being pull by Jason

“Adults you can never trust them” Jason whispered, he never trusted Adults and he will never do it, he look at Tim as they walk in the building where they were staying it was Jason’s house the one he had before his mother died “are you alright?” he asks, Tim look back at Jason “i guess..” he said, they walk to the fourth floor, and the door to the apartment was wide open, the landlord step outside “oh! Jason i was looking for you” he said, Jason raised an eyebrow but let the landlord continue “im sorry but you can’t stay here anymore..i really wish i could give you more time..” the landlord look away it hurts him kicking those two boys in the streets “give me a few more time! i can find the money i promised!” Jason said his voice steady as he didn’t want to drawn a scene “Jason i give you 5 months to find those money and you didn’t im sorry” The landlord couldn’t look at those two small children, Jason turn around and walk out angrily, Tim grabs a jacket, and walk out with Jason
Both of them stay in an alley a few blocks down the apartment, Jason sat on the floor and look at Tim who shortly after sat next to him “here..i grabs this so it could keep you warm..” Tim handed Jason the Jacket “what about you” Jason eyed the hoodie Tim was wearing “oh! its okay this hoodie already keep me warm enough and you definitely need it more than me” Tim said, he lay his head on Jason’s shoulder, The older boy open his mouth to protest but a thunder took them out of they mind
it was raining for already 40 minutes, Tim’s head lay on Jason’s shoulder, as Jason covered them with cardboard boxes “Tim..” he said looking at Tim, he believed he was sleeping, as he touched Tim’s arm, he could feel how cold he was “Tim” he said more persistent, He touched the hoodie and it was very thin, “Tim you moron, TIM!” Jason was more persistent, shaking tim’s shoulders to wake him up, he placed two fingers on his wrist his heart beat was slow barely audible, he hold him close keeping him warm with his body heat, Jason was sure this is hypothermia, as Tim began to shivering
Jason turn as the dark Knight, the Batman was there, he didn’t know when he started crying, and between sobs he began yell “Batman!” he didn’t trust adults and certainly not one that he didn’t know who he was, but he kept yelling “Batman! louder and louder every time, even if sobs let out in between, “Batman! please help!!” he looks down a Tim, the boy who was with him for months, the boy that Jason got attached so easily, lays unconscious in his arms “BATMAN!” he screams louder,
The batman lift his head, the rain and thunder, give him a difficult time understanding in which direction he was being called, Jason stand up and lift Tim in is arms, slow he began to walk towards Batman, his legs shaking, the hunger was more persistent now, but he didn’t stop, not until he was sure that Tim his..little brother was safe
Because in those months they been together, Jason considered the younger boy his brother even if he wont admit it, He hold his little brother close, and walking towards a man he didn’t know, heck he didn’t even know his face, but he didn’t care not until his brother was hurt, the man was so close but yet so far, Jason’s legs continues to shake, he felt on his knees as he couldn’t stand, he looked at Tim and slowly caress his face “everything will be alright..” he promised
Jason looked up at the older man, his conscious start to slip, he didn’t know how long he could stay awake, even though the sobs didn’t stop he gave it one last chance “Batman!” he yell, hoping that this time the older man would turn around and save him, saved his little brother, he didn’t cared that he was hurt, he wanted his little brother to be saved
Jason lay on the ground holding Tim close shielding him from the rain, he did didn’t want his younger brother to die, not him not him, he thought, he wishes that Tim was okay, and not like this, he wishes that the Dark Knight helped them, even though Jason doesn’t trust adults, he hold Tim close his eyes were on the varge of closing, he looked up looking at the batman “Batman! please help!” He tries to yell, but his voice gave up, and before he felt unconscious, he saw the older man running towards them, as his eyes close still shielding Tim from the rain, hoping that the older man help them, that the older man save his little brother, he didn’t care if he was going to die or not, he wanted his little brother to live
