    Summary

    “What, like—when Cheetahs get emotional support dogs?” Tim still sounds groggy. “I’m your emotional support human?”

    “More like, ’bonded pair, do not separate.’” Kon mutters. “They want me to acclimate to my enclosure.”

    Or: Kon and Tim get kidnapped for display in an alien zoo. They only really wanted Kryptonians, but Kon manages to get the zookeepers to believe the human he came with is necessary for his general well-being.

    It only gets worse from there.

    Summary

    Tim's probably done it the most, but all of his siblings, at some point or another, have ducked behind Jason for safety. Jason's not sure if it's because they trust him that much or if it's because he's usually heavily armed and willing to kill. But it keeps happening- and it's both helping his image and ruining it.

    Summary

    “Of course you have contingencies for me,” Tim says, in a tone that suggests Bruce even pretending otherwise is both annoying and an insult to Tim's intelligence. “You have contingencies for everyone.”

    “Not everyone,” Bruce says. “Not you.”

    Bruce keeps his breathing even and measured, doesn’t betray for a second the relief he feels when Tim believes him. When Tim doesn't find the uglier, unsaid truth beneath Bruce’s carefully considered words.

    The lack of contingencies for Red Robin does not mean that Batman trusts him infallibly.
    The lack of contingencies for Red Robin means that a compromised Tim Drake is one of the things Bruce fears most.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    All vigilantes are dangerous. But Tim Drake is a danger. He is a danger, a risk, a potential nuclear bomb in a way that highlights all of Bruce’s failures. If he were to lose his moral center, if he was to shift to killing, and then shift further, if the darkness hanging heavy in his eyes took root, Tim would be an unimaginable threat to Gotham - and if Bruce is being honest, the world.

    Too clever, too analytical, too practised at considering all possibilities and at assessing allies as threats. Tim has the potential to become someone Bruce, Batman, could not outsmart. And it is because Bruce was his mentor, and only his mentor, and an absent mentor at that. One who failed to note the implications of all the red flags that had waved over the past five years, the signs of what Tim had always been, and what both Batman's tutelage and absences were turning him into.

    Summary

    "Tim doesn’t step around Jason like he’s fielding landmines and he laughs at Jason’s jokes instead of flinching. Which Jason finds interesting, given that he’s definitely tried to kill the kid a couple times."

    Tim and Jason have a bad fight, and then Tim gets really hurt on his way home right afterward.
