    Summary

    So, it didn’t start out like this.

     

    Alfred would scoff at the statement, about how Bruce was trying to justify the whole situation to himself. It had started out as a simple design, black everything with black outlines and black hood. It got a little more intense as the world went on, got wind of his ghost on the streets, and became scared of The Bat . So Bruce got a little more creative with it, Alfred and him had a good laugh over the name, the scare, and Alfred had a vicious streak of humor that he had passed onto his ward-

     

    So now the suit had a visible bat-theme, an insignia to drape in the shadows and to paint across the streets of Gotham.

     

    It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:

    “ The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”

    --

    A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.

    Summary

    “I think he created the device for an end-of-the-world scenario,” Bruce said, voice carefully neutral.

     

    When a mysterious device sends the Batkids' future sons and daughters to the past, right in the middle of the cave, none of them is ready. Not the new kids, whose family as they know it is back in a different time, and certainly not Bruce's own children, too young to be parents.
    With the six now stuck in a time in which they don't exist yet, hurt by a future that will never be, the Batkids will have to decide what it truly means to be a family and how to face the ghosts of choices not yet taken.
    AKA
    The Batkids meet their future children and everything gets complicated.

    - - - -
    Part of a series dedicated to the Batkids' kids, this is a STAND-ALONE fic.

    Summary

    “The Red Hood has been good for Gotham,” Robin continued. “Crime in Park Row decreased by sixty one percent almost as soon as you showed up, and that’s even taking into account all the crime you commit. Drug overdoses have decreased by twenty two percent in adults and seventy nine percent in minors. Homeless minors are ninety two percent less likely to—”

    “Kid,” Jason interrupted. “Enough statistics. What the hell is this about?”

    Robin slowly lowered the tablet with his powerpoint presentation and looked up at Red Hood.

    “You care about Gotham,” Robin summarised. “Gotham needs Batman. Batman is missing and so is Nightwing. We need you to fill in for Batman.”

    “You want me to cover Batman’s patrols?” Jason clarified.

    “No,” Robin said. “I want you to be Batman.”

    Jason bluescreened.

     

    (Or: Batman and Nightwing mysteriously disappear before Red Hood has even started antagonising them, Robin is desperate, Gotham needs Batman, and Red Hood is Batman-Shaped.)

    Summary

    Garfield thought he understood Jason Todd, he really did, he had the boy all worked out in his head. The arrogant but brilliant Robin, his friend. Gar was only just discovering he didn’t know shit. It was an uncomfortable realisation but one that had also been happening slowly.

    At first he had viewed himself and Jason as equals but it had become apparent in both training and regular life that Jason just had more experience. Everything from fighting stance to cooking the kid knew. Depending on Gar’s mood he’d either want to learn from Jason or resent him.

    He had never considered that Jason might have grown up faster than him for a reason.

    Summary

    Dick Grayson has always been a disappointment, if not to someone else then to himself.

    Jason doesn’t say any of that to be cruel, that’s not his intention at all. He’s just aware that the original Robin had a lot of pressure on him, unachievable expectations to live up to. Quite frankly the man was incapable of saying no. Not when someone asked for help; not when they didn’t ask for help but Dick thought they needed it; not when someone called him a lying piece of shit and nearly broke his jaw with a single punch.

    But Hank had always had a mean swing so that was no surprise but Jason had at least expected the great Dick Grayson, Robin, to defend himself.

    -- -- --

    (After Dick reveals the truth about Jericho's death he leaves the Titans) (Jason reflects on his suicide attempt and decided to leave with him)
    This is the beginning of a connected series inspired by oo2yb 's "When the Morning Breaks Us" (I beg you to read that masterpiece)
    It's also more of a prelude to the actual story
