#tired tim

Jason: Hey Timmers

Tim: H'y J'sin

Jason: What's the date and time right now?

Tim: Mmm...last I checked it was Jan 5, half past ten pm

Damian: TT *readies net*

Jason: Baby bird, today's January 9

Tim: *tenses, ready to run*

Damian and Jason yelling at each other. Arguing about something again.

"YOU AREN'T MY MOTHER YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO" Damian yells.

"YEAH WELL I WAS THERE WHEN YOU WERE BORN, I HELD YOU IN MY ARMS, TOOK CARE OF YOU, I FED YOU, I EVEN READ YOU CINDERELLA DURING BEDTIME" Jason yells back.

The yelling continues.

"..You met baby Damian?"Bruce says with a little sadness. He also wanted to see his little boy as a baby :(

"OKAY!? I DON'T CARE"

Jason gasps dramatically, tears welling up in his eyes (He cries on command) "HOW DARE YOU, FINE YOU DON'T CARE THATS FINE BUT YOU WILL CARE AFTER I FUCK YOUR MOM AGAIN"

Damian stops in his tracks, and so does Dick.

"..You fucked Talia?" Dick says with a worry in his voice "I knew you liked older women but-"

Then Damian starts yelling again in retaliation.

"Steph no." Tim says but it was too late

"Like father like son."Stephanie says before bursting out in laughter doubling down on the floor.

"SO WHAT I FUCKED YOUR MOM!? AND I HEARD THAT" Jason yells from the living room

"So how did this start?" Duke asks while drinking from his cup.

"Jason found out Damian dog tagged his copy of the great Gatsby." Tim says while being dragged down by a dying Stephanie.

Alfred in the meanwhile is mixing sedatives into the batch of cookies he's making, and the coffee, and the whiskey because he knows that Jason will down that entire thing after the argument.

When he felt compelled to take over as Robin in order to save Batman from himself, Tim didn't have high expectations; he didn't expect to be adopted by Bruce, he didn't expect to acknowledge the fact that his parents were abusive by leaving him alone for months, he didn't expect anyone to care if he ate or not, and in general he didn't expect to gain a family.

And for a while he thought that everything would get better: he gained brothers, he had a caring father, he had no financial problems or had gotten sick; And yes, maybe Robin's patrols were harsh at first, maybe Bruce's words when he was angry reached his heart and hurt him deeply, but he was fine.

Until he wasn't, at some point he felt more abandoned than ever even though he was surrounded by his family. When he was talking to his boyfriend, he realized that everyone took him into account but no one really appreciated what he did.

At first he didn't understand why Danny looked at him concerned and kept asking if he was okay while he told him an anecdote from his life as a vigilante; they had known each other for a while (Alfred had noticed, the others hadn't), they started talking, dating in coffee shops and even revealed the fact of being vigilantes after a few months on a relationship, that's when they started sharing anecdotes with each other.

Danny mentioned that he was being a hypocrite for caring so much about his stories when his were just as bad. Tim didn't get it until he started to see things from another perspective.

He never realized how much it hurted how Bruce had never thanked him for helping when he was lost in time, or how Dick avoided talking about his Robin time by concentrating on Damian, he thought he could understand but that didn't make it any better, Jason's nickname was beginning to make sense.

He didn't realize how broken he felt when Jason tried to kill him and blamed him; He was his childhood hero, Tim loved Robin because Jason put him in the stars, however, no matter how many times he explained to his brother that the only reason he had taken the suit was because he had no choice, and that he felt forced to blackmail Batman to be his Robin before Bruce became what he hated most. Jason still didn't care, still called him Replacement over and over again, blaming.

Or Damian who kept trying to kill him, refusing to acknowledge him, and when he defended himself he ended up getting reprimanded. Not even Bruce thanked him for all the work he did in taking over the company as CEO. His entire family went on with their lives without repercussions.

Maybe he was being naive as he refused Danny's requests to run away from home and stay with him, at least for a few days so they would miss him. He felt like a broken record repeating the phrase "it's okay, they're trying, they can change", the look on his boyfriend's face told him he wasn't doing a good job on believing his own words.

The mansion made him feel small at times, ignored; it was fortunate that Alfred was actually paying attention to him and offering a cup of hot chocolate at such moments.

At some point he couldn't take it anymore, Jason and Damian's comments had gone too far, Bruce's lack of response along with Dick's laughter commenting that they weren't saying it in a bad way only made him angry, so he left the cave and called to Danny, he told him it was time to go.

He said goodbye to Alfred, Cass, Duke and Steph who had generally not contributed to his decision, and he regretted that he couldn't stay longer to get to know them better, but the damage had been building up for a long time.

He wrote a letter detailing his reasons to the rest of the family, leaving along some clues to let them know that he had left of his own free will and they wouldn't be able to find him even if they wanted to, he sighed as his anger turned to resignation.

"Are you ready?" Danny questioned, taking his hand gently as they walked out of the mansion.

"Ready as I'll ever be"

That's how Timothy Jackson Drake said goodbye to his home dimension and headed to the infinite realms, of course he was going to sneak in a couple of times to help his friends but never when his family is around. He hadn't expected the life in the palace or the marriage proposal that came years later, but although the place was gigantic, Tim felt good in it, comfortable, appreciated.

Time in the Realms passed quite quickly, unlike his original dimension, so years for him were a couple of months for his family.

He found it ironic that Danny was summoned as the Ghost King by Ra, who had the nerve to order the "creature" to give him the secrets of the Lazarus pits, offering the Batclan as sacrifices. Tim looked at the time portal connected to his home dimension (That Clockwork had given him to watch his family and friends, even if he was upset he was not going to let them die) wondering if he should interfere.

It was decided when Danny called Fright Knight to deal with the nuisance that was Ra, and he accompanied him as a royal adviser (regardless of his second title as ruler, he actually liked being a part of strategizing better and Danny was happy to give in to his wishes).

With a weary sigh he crossed the portal and began to recite Ra's crimes, indicating how he had damaged the balance between life and death since he corrupted the ectoplasm on the Lazarus pits to extend his life at the same time that Frighty stopped the man.

No one in the room bothered to pay attention to the stupefied bats who were watching the missing member of his family, but years older, that apparently was the Ghost King royal adviser. They tried to call him but Tim just gave them an annoyed look before continuing with his work.

By the time Fright Knight took Ra completely chained through the portal, they finally saw the ghost king move, he started kissing Tim's face repeatedly, which had turned his frown into laughter.

The moment they finally processed the scene they both disappeared, and well, weren't those the consequences of their own actions?

Summary: Kon pays Tim a visit at a time he least expects it. 

Enjoy! :D 

In hindsight he should’ve realised something was off the moment he stepped into his bedroom. If he hadn’t been as tired as he was, Tim would’ve noticed how his bedroom door was left open ajar when he arrived rather than shut and locked as he normally leaves it.

It doesn’t even register in his mind as he opens the door and steps into his own safe haven. The only thing on his mind is his bed, blankets and sleep. He’s exhausted and wants nothing more than his bed and get at least six hours of undisturbed rest. A hopeful wish but one could dream.

Closing the door behind him Tim trudges into his room and beelines for the bathroom, stripping away his suit as he does. He couldn’t help but sigh in relief when his body is freed from the confines of the skin-tight fabric and armour, for the first time all day it feels like he could finally breathe.

Steph [staring intensely over her steepled fingers]: ...

Duke: Hey, you good?

Steph: Shh! C'mere!

Steph [dragging him down next to her]: No sudden moves. Just observe.

Duke: Steph, I swear to crap if this is another prank on Jason, I'm not sticking around to get wedgied again, aight?

Steph [fanning her hand at him]: Just...wait.

Tim: *shuffles into the kitchen and starts making breakfast*

Steph [whispering]: Behold.

Duke [also whispering, though he's not sure why]: It's just Tim.

Steph: No. No it's not.

Tim: *goes to grab a cereal bowl, but stumbles. It shatters on the floor*

Tim: Shoot.

Duke: ...?

Steph: Okay, look. Timmy had a late patrol, and then spent the rest of the night on case files.

Duke: Your point?

Steph: Tired Tim!

Duke [more insistently]: Your point???

Steph: Fine, lemme spell it out for you. Tim got exactly negative 3 hours of sleep last night, which MEANS that he is at maximum grogginess.

Steph: So we could be looking at one of two drastically different things:

Steph: Seinfeld Tim, or--

Tim [still staring down at the broken bowl]: We don't make mistakes. We just have happy accidents.

Steph: *heaving gasp* BOB ROSS TIM

Duke: ...Bob Ross Tim??

Jason: *wanders into the room* Sup, guys.

Steph: Jason, shh! Get over here!

Jason [crouching next to them]: What've we got this morning.

Tim [in a baby voice as he cradles a banana]: People look at you like you're a little weird, but, you know, I've always been a little weird, so it's no big deal.

Jason: Ah. Bob Ross Tim.

Duke: Would either of you care to fill me in on what the f**k's going on here?

Tim [firing up the blender]: Gotta have opposites. Dark and light, light and dark, in painting.

Jason: It's when Tim only talks in Bob Ross quotes. Like, it's the most random s**t ever, but here we are.

Steph: *snorts* Yeah, seriously. If we were to give him a $5 watercolor set from Walmart right now, he'd lose his frickin MIND.

Tim [dramatically dropping a handful of strawberries into the blender]: It's like in life.

Duke: ...

Duke: There are days, you know, when I actually think you people can't get any weirder--

Tim [dumping in a cup of kale]: Gotta have a little sadness once in a while so you know when the good times come.

Tim: *waves hands over the blender* I'm waiting on the good times now.

Duke [shaking his head in disbelief]: --but every. Single. Day.

Duke: You somehow manage to prove me wrong.

Steph [turning his head back to the show]: Aww, shut up and watch.

Tim [holding his smoothie glass like it's the Holy Grail]: The secret to doing ANYTHING is BELIEVING that you can do it. ANYTHING that you believe you can DO strong ENOUGH, you can DO. ANYTHING. As long as you BELIEVE.

The others: *stare in awe*

Steph: Majestic.

Jason: *digging out his phone camera*

Duke: ...

Duke: Hold up.

Summary: If there’s one thing that Tim always wants more than his bed no matter what the circumstances are, it’s to be by Kon’s side. When Tim subconsciously makes his way to Kon instead of his bed, Tim finds that he doesn’t mind the spontaneous trip at all.

Enjoy! :D 

Tim’s currently functioning on autopilot. His brain has long switched off and his mind is nothing but a foggy wilderness. He's beyond tired, wanting nothing more than go to sleep, every part of his body hurts and he already knows that moving tomorrow is going to be difficult.

He traipses through familiar corridors without much thought, Tim allows his legs to guide him and soon enough he finds himself in the common room. Pausing in the doorway it takes Tim a moment to catch up with what is going on as it finally clicks where he is, he frowns because he could have sworn he had been heading for his bedroom, which happens to be on the other side of the Tower to the common room.

Why did his sleep deprived mind bring him here?
