Summary
After Sam Manson loses her two best friends, Danny and Tucker, in a freak accident, she can't stand to stay in Amity Park any longer.
She blames herself for their deaths and looking their families in the eyes makes her feel terribly sad. She knows that they blame her too. She's supposed to be Wraith, the ghost girl, Amity’s hero—but failing to save her friends doesn't make her feel very much like a hero at all.
When she ends up fleeing to Gotham City, the last thing she expects is to still be considered a hero. But, that's what Robin calls her anyway.
“Even if you don’t feel like a hero right now,” he tells her, "It doesn't mean you can’t become one.”
Sam just wants him to be right.
OR
A classic "Danny ends up in Gotham after the events of TUE," but instead of Danny, it's Sam, reverse trio style.

He wasn’t so drugged that he’d admit that to the man.
A father and son went to Ethiopia.
The father didn't come back.
In the wake of Bruce Wayne's death, his family has to figure out how to live in a world without him... and somehow manages to grow bigger even without his chronic adoption habit.

The board of directors can’t appoint a new CEO without Tim’s approval and Tim has been AWOL for months.

Summary
Tim knows Bruce isn’t dead. He knows because the body was wrong, because the clues are there if you just look hard enough, and because Kon believes him.
But he’s still here. He’s the only one who listens. The only one who helps Tim patch his wounds and tells him he’s not crazy.
And maybe that’s true.
Or maybe Tim’s just getting better at lying to himself.

Summary
With one last centering breath, Dick stopped stalling. “Have any of the other League ships reported in?”
“Just the Wonder. There has been no detectable advancement of enemy forces. We have perhaps a minute before our crew requests a status update and I am recalled to the bridge.”
“Then go, I’ll be sealed in here in a second.”
“Of course.” Alfred did not immediately move. Instead, he loosened himself enough to place a reassuring hand on Dick’s shoulder. “You will do well. I have great faith.”
The best Dick could do was offer a wan smile in return no matter how warmed he was by Alfred’s words. “And I’ll have Batman itself helping me, regardless, right?”
“Just so.”
