    Summary

    Talons are made to last. They aren’t alive, after all, which significantly reduces the chance of death by illness or injury and completely nullifies any age-related death. Even cold, a Talon’s greatest weakness, only causes them to hibernate. They may look and feel dead, but they’re plenty capable of reanimating once they thaw out. Truthfully, a Talon goes out one of two ways:

    1. Complete and total destruction of the Talon’s body in the heat of battle

    Or

    2. Being neutralized by the Court when they determine the Talon is no longer worthy of the title

    That’s how a Talon is supposed to die.

    But that's not how this Talon dies. This Talon dies to become something else. Something more.

    And for conspiring against nature, this Talon pays the price.

    Summary

    And, honestly, on any other night he would quip back. Maybe steer the obvious malice in Jason’s tone towards something that could almost be taken as banter if their relationship didn’t have a few murder attempts under its belt. But tonight is not one of those nights. Tonight, his entire body is screaming for him to run home and bury himself in the covers of the first bedroom he can make it into. And maybe throw up, if he can be bothered.

    Or: Tim gets sick. Against his wishes, it becomes Jason’s problem.

    Summary

    The thing is, Tim wasn’t himself when he was looking for Bruce. In his grief, Tim was Red Robin, and Red Robin was built for solitude. Red Robin crossed lines that Tim Drake wouldn’t even tiptoe on. He was detached and gray and everything Tim had tried not to be as Robin. But now that Bruce is back, and Damian is Robin, and nobody really knows what he’s done- Red Robin is all he has left. And Red Robin was built for solitude.

     

    There’s something wrong with Tim. The Tim Jason knew was poised, snarky, arrogant. A stubborn-as-shit asshole. And, of course, so loyal and committed to the Bat-legacy that Jason wasn’t really sure if the kid had any hobbies outside the suit. This new Tim, this Red Robin, is someone else entirely. Someone who’s one reckless crusade away from getting himself killed.

    And Jason has a few things to say about dead Robins, Red or not.

    Or: After Bruce returns from the time stream, Tim Drake keeps the mantle of Red Robin and throws himself into international cases to avoid going home. Jason runs into him, gets a bad feeling, and follows him to the ends of the earth (literally).

    Summary

    While trying to get groceries at 2 in the morning, Tim is harassed by a creepy man in a corner store.

    Tim does what everyone does when they are afraid: he climbs through the window of Dick's apartment.

    Both Dick and Jason are still awake and do their best to calm Tim down and figure out what happened and how to help him.

    (Note: this is in the era where Tim is still Robin, but Jason has calmed down enough to get along with Dick and be a grudging ally to Tim, even if he is still very angry with Bruce.)

    Chapter 2 explains what Jason is upset about - it's always something with him.

    Chapter 3 rewinds to mid-day and I updated the tags to cover the suicide and self-harm stuff, so make sure to check that!
