Jason got his drinking buddy.... Which did turn out to be Tim

[robinsleeping]

I think about how Jason likes Tim the most.

[sodamnbored]

Jason, bumping into him on the street: Stalker says what.

Dick, snorting: Shut up. I’m on an errand for Bruce. You can come help me if you like.

Jason shrugging, falling into step: Sure. What’re we looking for?

Dick: Batmobile’s busted. He needs us to go find a tool.

Tim: *casually heading the other way, minding his own business*

Jason, yoinking a disgruntled Tim back by his collar: Well that was easy.

Tim: Do I look straight? Jason: Not in the slightest. Tim: No, I mean my parking. Jason: Oh, in that case, yeah, it’s fine.

Hello, yes, the Gotham Knights cutscene where Jason was trying out his new “rubber bullets” on dummies and Tim stepped right into the line of fire and dared Jason to shoot if he really thought the bullets were soft enough to be non-lethal and Jason recoiled in horror?

I still think about that at least once a day. 🥺✨

Jason starts working with the Bats and he feels guilty. He is guilty.

Sure, he wasn't in his right mind during the Tower incident, not entirely, but he was in his right mind when he was planning it. The Pit could only take over for so long.

So maybe, when things start to get better between him and the bats, he takes up a case with Robin.

It's an easy case, but he's still impressed by how quickly Robin solves it.

Maybe Tim smiles when he solves the case and Jason ruffles his hair and tells him he did a good job--because god, Tim's just a kid; how could he not?

And maybe Tim keeps coming back after that.

Maybe Tim keeps solving all of Red Hood's cases before Jason can. Maybe Tim keeps taking over for Jason and maybe Jason starts to feel less guilty and more pissed off because he knows that he never fully thought things through as Robin and he knows that Bruce took on Tim as Robin because he did. He knows Tim is the smart Robin, but Tim has neither the right nor reason to rub it in his face, so maybe he snaps at Tim--tells him to get the fuck out of sight, tells him that he might not be the smartest person in the room but he's not some fucking idiot, tells him that he knows what he's doing and he doesn't need some fucking kid just going around solving his cases for him. Maybe, Jason tells Tim that he's not needed.

And maybe the guilt comes back when Tim leaves with tears in his eyes.

But, Jason thinks, all the guilt in the world isn't enough to override the anger and let Tim back in, not after he called Jason an idiot with everything but his words.

And then, maybe Jason is working a case and it expands past his territory and he finds himself in the cave, working with Batman. Maybe neither of them can solve it and Tim walks in, excitedly talking to Dick about something. (Jason isn't listening too closely.)

Maybe Bruce calls Tim over and Jason flinches--he didn't remember Bruce ever being that harsh when he was Robin.

Maybe Tim solves the case and Bruce turns back to Jason and starts planning their next step without so much as a thank you.

Maybe it's odd, to Jason, how Bruce and Tim don't act like a Batman and Robin to each other, and that thought sticks with him, bugging him whenever he has a quiet moment, so maybe a week or two passes before he asks Dick about it.

Maybe Dick's smile is sad when he explains how they've always been like that. Tim, always striving for attention, Bruce never giving it. Maybe Bruce's standards rose above what was physically possible in the wake of Jason's death and maybe Dick sobs himself to sleep every once in a while because that hasn't stopped tim from trying.

Maybe Tim was okay for a bit whenever Dick was in town because he could help Dick on cases and Dick would smile and applaud every little thing he did, but Dick lived in a different city, so Tim couldn't help as much with Dick's cases as he could with Bruce's.

Maybe, Dick says something under his breath--a passing comment about how surprised he is that Tim didn't come to Jason and try to solve all his cases just for a kind word or two, hoping that maybe the Red Hood's love of kids and their happiness would extend to him.

Maybe Jason feels his stomach drop as the final piece of the puzzle clicks in place--how at first, Tim came with cases every so often, smiled and leaned in whenever Jason said a kind word to him, and how, when Jason started thinking that Tim was doing this to spite Jason was when he stopped giving that praise to Tim, which had the boy solving more and more cases for him, working harder and harder without being asked just so that maybe--maybe Jason would tell him he did a good job. Jason wondered just how far Tim would go if someone promised him a smile.

Maybe the guilt is too much for him and he pushed it down, only saying, "I don't think he'd risk it--not after the Tower."

Maybe Dick has something sad in his eyes when he says, "He's done more for less."

Maybe Jason tries again to bring Tim into his cases, but Tim refuses, promises not to intrude, promises he learned his lesson, and maybe Jason cries because Tim has never asked for an apology after Titan's Tower, but one hint that he's overstepped and Tim begs forgiveness.

Maybe Jason focuses a little too much on how to bring Tim closer--make him feel loved again and make it clear that Jason just didn't understand what Tim that Tim was trying to help--make sure Tim knew he was welcome.

But maybe Tim refused.

And maybe, Jason got so focused on Tim that he stopped focusing on patrol and got over his head. Maybe, just on pure happenstance, Tim was nearby that night and he couldn't let anything happen to his Robin.

Maybe Tim swooped in to save the day and Jason grabbed onto his wrist when he tried to leave.

Maybe Tim apologized but Jason just pulled him in and hugged him--a full hug, one arm around Tim's back, the other, tucking Tim's head into his chest, and maybe Jason said, "Thank you so much, Robin. I needed you to save me."

Maybe Tim cried when it happened. Maybe, under his mask, Jason was crying as well. Maybe, they got closer after that, Jason, needing to be trusted to care for something and Tim just needing to be cared for.

And it takes time, but maybe there comes a day when Jason looks Tim in the eye and tells him that he's important and valuable and incredibly loved regardless of whether or not he's needed. Maybe it take a few years before Tim believes him, and when he does, he hugs Jason and cries into his arms, but it's okay because Jason knew it would happen sooner or later, and it's okay, it's okay, he has tissues.

Maybe Jason apologizes for what happened at the Tower and Tim admits that he forgave him for that a while ago.

Maybe.

Maybe.

Who could say for sure?

Red hood, pointing at Tim: Then what's that?!

Tim: ...

Batman: A complication.

Red hood: A complication?! It's a child!

Batman: Well I see that!

Tim, talking to Jason: Oh you don't have to be offended, he doesn't know how I got here.

Red hood:

Batman: I don't!

Tim:

Red hood:

Batman: It's actually kinda unsettling, how did you get here?

Tim: I followed the voices.

Batman: Oh, I didn't realise we were being that loud.

Tim: No no, not your voices, the voices.

Red hood:

Batman:

Red hood: should we be worried or-

[shyjusticewarrior]

Tim: I thought Jason still wanted to fight me and I was like "what is this guy's problem?"

Tim: He grabbed my wrist and pulled me like awkwardly close to him and he was like "so are we brothers now or what?"

Tim: And I was like "ooh, you're crazy!"

Detective Comics #968 (2017)

Jason: about to stab the future version of Tim that turned evil

Me: ow he called him Timmy

[timmydraker]

“Yeah well, at least I don’t have an Oreo for a hairstyle.”

Duke Thomas was very used to Tim arguing with people, the older boy (by like two years), was an expert at getting on people’s nerves and seemed to enjoy it half the time. Sometimes it was just that he was in a mood and forgot the importance of boundaries or snapped too easily, but times like this-

“You look like a literal skunk.”

-he just seemed to want chaos.

Duke sat with a bag of Doritos he stole from Damian’s hidden stash with out the usual act of pretending not to be nosing in on the conversation.

The two had waltzed into the Cave a few minutes ago yapping about some author when Duke was getting off his own patrol and seen as it was technically a public space, in a Bat sense, he didn’t feel bad for listening in.

Jason flung his arms around in an exasperated manner and shouted, “What does that have to do with Margaret Mitchell?!”

Tim, who ho got right up in the violent, murderous and heavily armed crime lords face, jabbed a finger in his chest and said, “Nothing, I was just telling you more facts, like that Gone With The Wind doesn’t need to be studied in highschool!”

Naturally, Jason got him in a headlock and started to choke Tim out.

Duke didn’t move or panic, they never really hurt each other and seen as how when they properly met the first time left them both battered and bruised and Tim lowkey close to death, the two had a lot of trust in what each other could handle.

And anyway, the only reason Tim got away with being such a little shit was that he was both able to get himself out of the more physical interactions and often knew when he overstepped and took the hit.

But this time, something strange happened.

Instead of an intricate flip or jab in the ribs, Timothy Jackson Drake: raised in a giant manner with full staff and restricted internet access and a good, solid social life-

Bit Jason.

Right on the hand.

Hard.

Duke’s mouth dropped open, snack forgotten as he thought about how quickly he could find the cave system recording of what just happened.

Jason didn’t even move, not even a flinch, he just froze as Tim did as soon as the realisation of what he just did set in.

No one spoke for a moment as Tim slowly loosened his jaw and let Jason’s hand go.

A few drops of blood trickled down Jason’s hand and from Tim’s tooth.

Jason then asked what Duke was also thinking, “What just happened?”

Tim, who was the culprit in the situation, looked genuinely baffled as he stepped away from the older man and looked at his now red hand.

“I think I… bit..?…you?”

Jason made an expression of ‘no shit’ and then hissed down at his hand, it wasn’t a nibble or joking bite, it was a full locked jaw ‘I’m going to take off flesh’ kind of bite. “Dude you called me a skunk but what if you gave me fucking rabies some shit?”

Tim in an almost dazed state looked at him, “I don’t have rabies, I’m not Damian,” - Jason made a ‘fair’ motion - “and anyway, it’s more likely for you to get a bacterial infection from a human bite.”

Tim, in the most awkward moment Duke had ever seen for the usually confident young man, then shuffled away slightly and muttered, “I’ll um, send you a file on it. Yeah. I’ll do that.”

Then full sprinted out of the room.

Jason looked at Duke with wide eyes, “What?”

Duke shrugged slowly, “I genuinely- I, I dunno.”

Both of them stared at each other for a moment in silence before Jason headed towards the med bay to clean up.

Ten minutes later footage of what happened was sent to the family group chat and, just as Tim wanted, he got his chaos.

And a vaccine.
