Summary
Billions of dollars and silk suits and heavy rings dripping off fingers, but Bruce was never truly happy until he met Dick, then Jason, then the rest of them. So Gotham’s old fortune can kiss Tim’s ass.
Bernard...doesn’t seem to think so. Not in the least, if the nervous bob of his Adam's apple is anything to go by.
Tim creeps behind him, utterly silent until his nose almost tickles the back of Bernard’s neck, then whispers in his ear, “It’s haunted.”
Bernard shrieks.
Alfred opens the door.
A solid ton of polished oak and brass and institution caresses the floor in a sweeping curve, giving way to Bernard, Batman t-shirt underneath a blazer, cherry red in the face. Tim snickers beside him.
or, wins and losses in turns, and being twenty is epidemic, but tim manages to wrestle with life enough to tug bernard into place beside him

Summary
“We welcome you,” the cultist is saying, breathlessly. “To the mortal realm, oh father of Chaos-”
Bernard slowly raises his head, meets the cultist’s gaze, and he stutters to a stop. Tim’s breath catches, because Bernard smiles, manic and benevolent and totally devoid of humanity.
The cultist, shaking with excitement or awe, bows his head. Bernard floats down, and reaches to delicately touch the side of the mask, cupping his face.
“Stupid animal,” he says, kindly, “Why would I thank you for this?”
The cultist starts to raise his head, confused.
It’s not Bernard, says Tim’s brain, even though he already knew that, even though he was putting the pieces together the minute the knife flashed down, even though he shoved the knowledge away because it was unbearable to consider, it’s not Bernard, and it’s only that thought that keeps him from fumbling when vines explode from the cultist’s eyeball.
At the ritual altar, Bernard gets possessed by Dionysus. Nobody liked that.

Summary
Dick Grayson is a performer. Jason Todd-Wayne was clever, quick, and strikingly small (though, if you listen to those who whisper in the shadows, the third has not been true for some time now). For Cassandra Wayne, people are as easy to read as an opened book. Barbara Gordon is one of the most talented hackers in the world. Timothy Drake has sticky fingers and something to prove.
In another world, perhaps this would lift them to the greatest of heights. Perhaps they would be monuments, role models, heroes from on high.
This is not that world.
In this world, rather than smash their foes into smithereens, they choose a more careful approach. Easing burdens. Taking weight.
One could say that they provide... leverage.

Sometimes, that help is a little less legal than every other cape would like for it to be.

Summary
Tim knew he was jumpy and on edge, like he was always expecting someone to come from just out of sight. He knew that he was noticing things lately, little details that he had never noticed before, that didn’t seem to add up. He knew that even when Bart and Cassie were running around and screaming at the top of their lungs, Young Justice headquarters felt a little bit too quiet. He just didn’t know why it was happening. The League of Assassins wasn’t after him, there was no drama in his personal life, most of the major supervillains were locked up, and there weren’t any drugs he knew of that could produce these specific symptoms and no others.
AKA - Kon gets erased from reality, and Tim keeps trying to figure out why there are so many weird gaps in his life.
