Holy shit that’s Robin

Where’sBatman?

Oh shit, Batman isn’t here

They’re never apart

He’s bleeding pretty badly

Who can even take out a Robin??

Where is Batman?

Man they beat that kid

Who beat him???

If Batman’s alive, he’s going to come for blood

Oh god he’s going to think I did it if I keep standing here

Why didn’t anyone else stop?

He’s just a kid under that mask, isn’t he

Can’t take him to a hospital

Can I take him to Batman? I could figure out how to turn on that Bat signal

But then I’d have to leave Robin

Oh shit, he’s missing half his teeth

I almost hope Batman isn’t alive, because what he’d do if he saw this…

Who would fuck with one of his?

Nobody fucks with Robin when he’s alone, I thought that was the rule

Should I grab the teeth?

Probably can’t bring those in an uber

Correction: I can’t bring him in an uber anyway

I need to call Batman

FUCK, the signal just turned on

Holy shit, I still can’t believe that’s Robin

Wasn’t he bigger?

I need to know where Batman is

I’m gonna move the kid out of the rain at least

Maybe I can do a virtual visit with urgent care…

Wait. That light is flashing on his arm thingy.

I heard a noise. Wait. Is that—

[incoherent fear]

[adrenaline spike]

….he looks worse than the kid does

I should offer to carry him — oh, okay, I guess one arm still works

Keep your head down, don’t let him see your face

Oh god I’m going to die…he’s going to beat me with his one good hand and I’m gonna turn into Jell-O

[eyes clenched shut]

…..is he….is he gone?

Maybe I dreamed that

There’s still blood on the ground

There’s still blood on the ground

Okay. Okay. The rain will wash it away, but I guess I can help.

Oh my god my heart’s pounding

I need to sit down

…

…is it just me, or were his eyes…glowing…a little bit?

…

At first, it seems wrong, but after six months, both Simon and Tommy realize that James isn't changing their mum. He's making space for the things she wants, things her sons had never gotten a chance to see and know about her. Begrudgingly, Simon starts to accept the guy enough not to hide every time he comes around.

And that's when the trouble starts, because James starts bringing around his son, Kyle. -

"You live like this?"

Kyle doesn't knock before striding into Simon's room and shutting the door behind himself. He drags his eyes over everything - Simon's singular poster, the secondhand furniture, his shelves of books and random rocks and stones and bones. Everything gets that judgmental little London pout that means he's unimpressed, as ever, with anything in Simon's life.

Simon grits his teeth and turns around in his desk chair. "The fuck're you doin' in 'ere? Get out."

Kyle snorts and takes a seat on Simon's lap. "They're watching some boring chick flick."

As usual, Simon's brain goes staticky, and he has to remind himself not to stare at Kyle's lips. It takes him a moment too long to say, "Go bother Tommy."

"He's boring, too." Kyle's fingers run through his hair, and he grins when Simon shivers. "What're you working on, then?"

"None of your bloody business."
