Summary
Bruce doesn’t know what’s wrong with his child, but he’s pretty sure kids aren’t meant to work like this.
From the day he had looked up into the tops of the circus tent and saw a frightened mirror image of a boy who had just experienced the worst day of his life, Bruce had instantly gone into emergency mode.
The Gotham PD had wanted to pass the boy off into the care of the circus. The circus had mumbled underneath their breaths about superstitions, about not having a boy like that with them, about not being able to handle something like Dick. So GCPD, not knowing what to do, had started talking about one of the handful of overburdened boy homes that handles a majority of Gotham’s unlucky orphans.
All the while, the camera lights flash bright and loud, wanting to know everything.
Bruce couldn’t let that happen.
Not then, not ever again.
-🦇-
Bruce is trying his best to protect the city that he loves. He doesn't know how exactly his Robins came to be- they're not fully human, not even at all. All he knows is that he wants to keep them safe.

Summary
A spell de-ages the Titans to the moment of their most traumatic childhood memory.
Which leaves Roy responsible for a handful of traumatised children with Ollie's blow fresh on his skin and the withdrawal just starting to kick in. So everything's going fantastic, really.

Summary
“So why are you trying now? Because B is gone?” She didn’t mean for the words to be as sharp as they were, but they landed like batarangs nonetheless, whistling in the air until they hit their mark.
Dick’s entire posture seemed to deflate. His legs had been kicking idly, but suddenly they were still. His hands, which had been flying through the air as he spoke, were limp in his lap. He was the quietest Steph had ever heard him when he answered and she had to strain to listen.
“Honestly, that’s how it started. And then I saw how talented you are with my own eyes and how well you get along with everyone, from criminals to victims to, yes, Robin, and how driven and smart and excitable and funny you are and…”
“And what?” she asked, her patience from earlier gone.
“You reminded me of why I made Robin in the first place.”
Stephanie Brown was a Robin. Dick finally tells her what that means, and apologizes for a few things, too.

Summary
“If you’re here to attack me demon brat I hate to break it to you but someone else beat you to it.” She joked, moving the ice pack from her eye. “I’m a marked man.” She expected him to roll his eyes, or sneer at her attempt at a joke, or even let out the strained snort he did when he thought something was funny but didn’t want to show it. Instead he just moved closer to her, fixated on her face.
“Colin told me that you had been engaged in a brawl.” Steph raised her eyebrows at the wording.
“I’d hardly call it a brawl kid, more like a back alley smackdown.”
