Summary
“Surrender and it stops. The pain stops, birdie.”
“Never,” Tim had snarled, and lunged, because Robins didn’t give in.
Tim was standing in front of Jason’s memorial. His suit in the glass case, each rip carefully stitched, each bloodstain carefully washed. Tim backed away, straight into Hood’s chest. “What - what are you doing?”
“Putting the newest Robin in his place. Robin is pointless, Tim. Something that should’ve been left in the past after this one-” Hood gestured sharply at Jason’s uniform, which was something he shouldn’t have known about, “- went and died. Children shouldn’t be fighting, trained or not.”
Tim shook his head automatically, halfway to protesting, when Hood pulled the case open, the front sheet of glass swinging like a door. That should be - that should be locked. It took Tim a moment to process what Hood was planning, didn’t realize until Hood carelessly pulled the suit out, watching it spill on the floor, then pushed Tim forward.
Tim had never felt more free than he did flying as Robin, until Robin became another pretty cage.
