    Summary

    "Wordlessly, and slowly, Bruce takes one breath after another, composing himself. He hands Jason the slightly crumpled sheet of paper. Jason reads it quickly. Quicker than Bruce, but he reads it again and again and again. Finally snapping with panicked urgency, 'What the fuck is this?'

    Bruce, completely devoid of any inflection, forces himself to simply state the facts in front of him. 'That is Red Robin’s two week notice.'"

    Or

    Tim really thought leaving would be a lot easier. Both figuratively and literally.

    Summary

    Corybantic: frenzied; agitated; unrestrained

    "It was something instinctual, not quite training and not quite protocol, that pushed him in the direct path of the multitude of darts destined for his little brother."

    Tim Drake, Red Robin, is a null. In a world full of alphas, betas, and omegas, he was the worst-case scenario.

    ------

    During a reconnaissance mission, Tim Drake is hit with a new heat-inducer that has been plaguing the streets of Gotham. It does not affect him the way he expects.

    Five times Jack Drake didn't answer his phone.

    And one time he did, but it was already too late.

    Summary

    So the thing is, Tim survived months with Ra’s and the League of Assassins. He’s fine with poison. It's the whole sibling thing that's going to kill him.

    Summary

    The wind whips around, rapid, and sharp with sand and grit.
    Tim can’t see—there’s so much dust trapped between his eyelids that he can hardly tell if they’re even closed or not. It burns and stings, it fills his lungs, and all he can think about is his body, buried under a new dune of sand, and his family, so many miles away, not even thinking to look for him there.

    And just as suddenly, the sun and sand and howling winds are gone.

    -----

    In which the universe takes pity on Tim, just once, if it even was the universe at all.
    (My take on the surprisingly common “Tim Drake finds himself in a different universe” trope.)
