    Summary

    They're not exactly sure when Tim Drake came back. But to them, he's been dead for seven years.

    ---

    Prologue: 'It’s not the biggest shock to see Tim, though. He’s definitely around town and they know which shelters he prefers, and he stops at the clinics that work with Bruce. It’s not common Gotham knowledge that one of Bruce Wayne’s children is homeless, but certain people in-the-know send Bruce updates if they see him.'

    Summary

    His father "died" a hero. Bruce Wayne... Batman... made the ultimate sacrifice in the battle against Darkseid during one of the worst Crisis that had been experienced in recent times.

    Tim Drake knew this. Logically, he knew that his adopted father did what he had to do to save the world and protect his family...

    However...

    That knowledge did not negate the fact that this was the second "father" he'd lost in as many years...

    The third parent...

    The sixth person he loved...

    All gone before the age of seventeen.

    And now... As he stormed away from the Cave where the child that tried to murder him was now wearing his colors... his mantle... his identity...

    His last tangible ties to his dead father...

    A part of him wanted to go into the Manor and pick a random room to just rip to pieces in a fit of rage and frustration.

    But he didn't.

    Instead, as he entered his room and made a move to knock over a shelf of books and photos, one picture in particular caught his eye.

    The last happy photo he had of his father and him... with his stepmother.

    (What if Dana Winters never died/disappeared after the bombing of Bludhaven?)

    Summary

    Tim Drake stood atop Gotham's tallest building, the frigid wind whipping through his cape as he gazed out over the city he had sworn to protect. Below, the streets teemed with life, but in the darkness of the night, shadows lurked, waiting to swallow the unwary whole.

    Short one shot. Tim leaves Gotham and states Damian isn't ready to be Robin. He was right.
