    Summary

    Tim's eyes blinked open to see Joker's wide smile. "Little birdy!" Joker crowed in delight. "Is there something you wish to tell your Papa?"

    "Fuck you," Tim spat out.

    Joker slammed the rods into his temples. Tim's vision whited out, pain coursing through his veins. He didn't know how long Joker held them there, but when he took them away, Tim's throat was raw with his screams and his muscles twitched and jerked in the aftermath of the electricity.

    "Ya know I don't like to be left out of the joke, Junior," Joker said thoughtfully. "I'm told lotsa kids your age hide things from their Papa."

    --

    or, Tim is a metahuman with the ability to heal from death. When he is kidnapped, the Joker plans to turn him into Joker Junior. Then, Tim is killed, and Joker realises the Robin he caught can't stay dead.

    Summary

    “I want to know how he died!” Jason snapped after a pause, scowling. “I’ve gone through everything in the system. All the files B has on it says that he died, but there’s no details! There’s no description of the scene, no suspects, no cause of death, no anything. All it says is that he’s dead.”

    “Maybe it’s not something you should look into…” Dick trailed off but Jason’s reply was lost to Tim’s ears.

    ‘That’s not funny.’

    Despite his best efforts, a giggle escaped Tim’s lips.

    Or: Tim just wanted to drop some information off to the Cave, not talk about the Joker.

    Summary

    The darkness leading down to the dungeons feels like it wants to swallow Tim, the absence of light a vacuum.

    He navigates the descent by touch.

    His bare feet trace the edge of each stone step before he takes it, trying to feel past the frozen numbness that’s thoroughly claimed his toes and is making a run for his ankles. He keeps his left hand on the wall to steady himself.

    His other hand clutches the handle of his basket like his life depends on it.

    Or. Not his life.

    Summary

    The first letter arrived right to Tim's desk.

    He didn’t think much of it at first. It was a plain white thing, a tidy little card tucked unobtrusively in amongst the stack of memos and reports from other departments that his secretary had left on his desk. He spent several minutes getting settled before he even really glanced at it.

    Finally, he began scanning his stack, zeroing in on the card only because it looked more interesting than a memo.

    The cardstock was good quality. It landed in his palm with a satisfying schlak.

    The handwriting on the card was… odd.

    Neat, perfectly legible, but shaky - like a child anxiously practicing their letters. It was so nice speaking with you the other day, it read. I hope you’ll make time for me again sometime soon!

    It was punctuated with a little crooked smiley face that had been crossed out and redrawn, too carefully to look natural. The eyes were perfect, ballpen circles.
