    Summary

    Fear toxin exposure can produce wildly different results, depending on the formulation involved, the individual, the circumstances surrounding the incident. It’s difficult to predict, even knowing how a person has reacted in the past. Every situation requires its own approach, and past experience alone may not be an accurate guide.

    Or: Three times Tim was exposed to fear toxin, and the different ways that Bruce, Dick, and Jason handled it.

    Summary

    He feels awful. Why does he feel awful?

    Sure, he’s been up for the past 52 hours, and sure, he might’ve gotten nicked across the calf with a jagged, broken beer bottle a few nights back, but that’s hardly the sort of injury to put someone down for the count like this.

    Summary

    “You were hurt.”

    “I could have been faking that.”

    “Why would he assume that you were—?”

    "I did." Tim looks up at Bruce, then down again, he can’t hold the heavy eyes. He sucks in a sharp breath, exhales, wheezy and unhappy. He’s too exhausted to run around this, he just wants to lay down and go back to sleep. “When I was nine, I faked being sick, so they wouldn’t leave."

     

    AKA: Jack Drake doesn't take Tim at his word about being sick anymore, which isn't normally a problem. Until Tim gets poisoned.
