Summary
The League of Assassins descends on Gotham to claim its newest anomaly: the masked man called Batman. But the city doesn’t play fair. Informants go silent, agents are repelled, and every answer is twisted into a joke. Behind it all stands a boy with a smirk and a plan. This isn’t Batman’s fight. It’s Robin’s playground, and the Rogues are loyal.
Or Robin trolls the League of Assassins.

Summary
It was all Dick's fault. His fault. Not Jason's. Not Bruce's. His. He was too weak and too distracted and too stupid. Careless. All he wanted was to meet Jason's mother alone, to judge her character. He didn't expect this to happen.
Lying against the cold floor of the warehouse he thought he didn't deserve to be Nightwing. This was not what uncle Clark’s hero was. He certainly was no failure.
(Or: In Ethiopia, Dick gets Jason’s permission to meet Sheila alone. It obviously goes terribly wrong.)

Summary
"This is my side of town, ya know?"
Dick squinted. “Jason?” His voice came out cautious, like he didn’t quite trust it. “You’re… older.”
He sighed. “Alright, I guess.”
Jason tilted his head. “That’s it? You don’t care that I’m here?”
Dick shrugged, still watching the alley below. “Well, I’m kind of on the job, so it isn’t the best time to break down.”
Jason blinked.“Can we like… delay this?” Dick added, his voice dry. “Show up in my kitchen while I’m eating cheese out of my opened fridge?”
Or Dick thinks he's hallucinating a very real Jason and invites the "hallucination" home. Jason thinks his brother is being freakishly calm, but hey, he's being accepted as he is so he doesn't care.

Summary
Dick is covering for Batman at a League meeting when they are called out to deal with an emergency unexpectedly. Barry contracts a contagious virus, and the League has to stay quarantined until the vaccine is finished. The only problem is, the League doesn't know that Batman doesn't work alone, or that the Batman they're working with right now isn't the Batman they know at all.

Summary
Diana straightens, her voice firm now. “Robin, can Batman come to the line?”
“Batman can’t come to the phone right now! Why? Because he’s dead!”
Clark’s blood runs cold.
The room erupts— chairs scraping, voices overlapping, Barry swearing. Hal demanding answers, Arthur already moving for the exit. Diana’s hand is on her sword. J’onn’s mind reaches out instinctively, alarm rippling through him. Clark can’t hear any of it. All he can think is dead, echoing over and over, and the fact that it came from a child’s mouth.
“Robin,” Clark manages, fingers digging into the console, “what do you mean—“
“Ohmagosh, calm down! It’s a Taylor Swift song. Are you guys so old you don’t know? That’s sad.”
Or, Batman is a Justice League consultant and can’t come to the phone.

Summary
The batfamily was suppose to capture the Joker, simple, something easily done before. Yet the bats (or Nightwing) might just have the worst luck possible.
After waking up in an alley in a world full of superpowers, Dick just knew that he was going to have a hell of a time getting back home.
Oh, and there just happens to be a school built for superpowered-teens high on the idea of becoming a hero, lucky him.

Summary
“I could have taken care of them alone,” says the guy he just saved, finally coming out in the light to watch the last of the gang scramble away as fast as he could. “But thanks.”
Jason turns, a quip ready on his lips, but his breath gets taken away by the unexpected sigh.
Because, right here in front of him and none the wiser, is Dick Grayson himself — Nightwing, leader of the Titans, former Robin, favored son of Batman.
His big brother.
OR: Red Hood saves Dick Grayson from a mugging. Everything spirals out of his control, then.
