    Summary

    10-year-old Tim Drake's winter break gets off to a rough start. He's spending Christmas and New Year's alone, the power won't turn on, and all the adults around him are turning a blind eye to his situation. But maybe he can make his winter break a good one, even if it takes braving the horrors of public transportation, a risky journey to New York City, and some light stalking.

    Summary

    There's no way he could pass for Dick’s actual brother and he’s got the face of a shell-shocked cartoon mouse — but not the cutesy mice, the ones in the old 80's movies that gave Dick nightmares as a child. That plus the fact the Drake kid’s got a thick New Jersey accent he can’t shake and that Dick doesn’t look grown-up enough to be toting around a preteen is sure to get people asking questions. Or worse. So Dick hauls Tim in by the strap on his backpack, steps onto the shoulder, sticks his thumb skyward toward the cloudless cornflower blue of middle America in summer, and prays whoever pulls over lies somewhere boring on the sliding scale between serial killer and snitch.

    Dick Grayson turns 20 on March 20th, Jason Todd dies on April 27th, and by May 23rd, Bruce Wayne's ward-not-son is rattling around in the bed of a 1979 Ford F-150 heading anywhere but Gotham, New Jersey. Wayne money and Bat technology can't find him, but he's got a bug-eyed shadow and a raw Robin-shaped wound to haul across the continental United States.

    Summary

    Tim averts his eyes, fiddles with the sleeves of his hoodie. “Have you ever…noticed anything strange about me?”

    The silence extends for far too long. Tim chances a glance back up, only to find Duke struggling to keep his face in check.

    “Dude! I’m being serious here!”

    Duke bursts into laughter. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Just—I mean—you’re a strange guy!”

    “I know that! But I meant it like,” Tim gestures wildly around him, “in the energy, light sense. Is there anything unusual surrounding me?”

    The question causes Duke’s laughter to die down. “Yeah, dude, you got that whole Chaos Cloud thing going on. I thought you knew that.”

    Tim stills. “The what.”

    ___

    Tim Drake begins to notice something strange, but the patterns keep shifting. In order to solve this strange mystery, he must reach out for help, face his suppressed emotions, and discover the power of his own Chaos!

    Summary

    The yelling reaches a level where it comes out as nothing more than a tinny screech. Tim sighs and hits the end call button, knowing his parents’ argument will likely continue for hours and be followed by days of stony silence between the two.

    Whitney Houston has been swapped out for Blondie, a vast improvement. He takes a sip of strawberry milkshake and looks up to see none other than Dick Grayson-Wayne (Nightwing!) and Jason Todd-Wayne (Robin!) watching him with matching unreadable expressions from the diner’s entryway.

    or: tim spends thanksgiving afternoon in a diner. coincidentally, dick decides to kidnap jason for an afternoon of sibling bonding.
