Dr. Strange looks into 14, 000, 605 different futures on Titan and decides to take time into his own hands.
Stephen wakes in a scrub room in Metro General, with a new sense of purpose. Tony wakes on the sands of Afghanistan, chest throbbing. Loki & Thor wake in the gardens of Asgard, just really confused.
and the timeline continues to unravel from there.

Summary
Then: The year is 2013. Jason Todd is alive, fourteen years old, and about to follow Sheila Haywood, his birth mother, into the hands of the Joker. All he wants is to save her life.
Now: The year is 2018. Jason Todd was dead. But now he's a nineteen year old vigilante about to take down the latest C-Lister rogue. Unfortunately for him, its a rogue that specialises in time-travel technology. And what starts as an easy takedown...ends as a time travelling phenomenon.
The two Jasons swap places.

M: Not detailed or graphic, but strong themes of death, violence, injury, human Trafficking, child abuse & assault
----
When he started at the 118, he had been a straight man and target for Chimney’s jokes, a bratty little punk to Hen’s big sister, a reckless son for Bobby, all while being a competent team mate as soon as the sirens blew. It’s no wonder he lost himself a little, playing the chameleon for everyone else. And somehow, he just never quite managed to break out of those roles.

Maddie should never have had to raise him, and he was so grateful she did…but she never really saw him as grown-up.

Summary
“The Robin field has been feeling a little crowded lately,” Tim ventured. “And if I’m going to stay in New York for school, like we talked about, I’d probably keep working with you much more than Batman.”
“And?” Renee pressed and Tim felt a wave of relief wash over him as he recognized the twitch at the corner of her lips as Renee tried to hide a smile behind the mouth of her beer bottle.
“What do you think of the name Query?” he asked.
Renee let out a sudden bark of laughter and lifted her beer to him in a mock toast.
“Sounds gay,” she said. “I love it.”
