Summary
Dick looked at his younger self; the way his brow twisted up in so much anger and his was chest heaving with pure vitriol. Dick remembered what fury like that felt like. He remembered the way it burnt in his throat. He used to spew that poison at Bruce all the time, hell even the Titans had gotten the bad end of his temper more than once. And yet, Dick couldn't place the last time he had been mad like that. Nowadays, all his anger died into withering flames of resignation and compromise more often than not.
But he could feel that rage bubbling up now, watching his teenage self tear his family apart. He was ruining it. Tim and Stephanie were huddled together nervously, Damian's eyes were wide, and Bruce's fists were clenched tightly. Why was he ruining it?
In that moment, Dick had never hated himself more.

Summary
The Joker missed the "good old days", just him, Batman, Harley, and the first Robin. He's grown tired, none of these new Robin's new how to have fun. Where was the banter? Where was the witt? He put time and effort into his traps and the birds gave him nothing to work with. It's fine, good old Uncle Jay decided to do something about it.
------
Dick is de-aged to his mid-season one YJ self.
He's highly trained, been doing this for half a decade, and has the scars to back it up. He can't help but be underwhelmed by the attitude of his successors. But Dick doesn't want to deal with that because he's missing over a decade of his life all because of the Joker. He can handle older heroes underestimating his abilities, this is his typical tuesday. Everyone else might not get a choice in the matter as information comes to light that leaves them to rethinking some of their life choices.
Except Past-Dick, because as he inidicated before, they are a problem for Future-Dick.

Summary
Robin cries out as he’s swallowed. The scent of ozone burns in the air, pungent and painful. He sees nothing but white. He feels nothing but heat. His muscles slacken, his nerves scream. And then, it’s gone.
Robin, is gone.
Or, Robin is managing a singularity with the team, when he finds himself transported years into the future, where apparently there's a new Robin...for the third time?
Meanwhile, Nightwing is investigating a problem of his own alongside the Batfamily when he's sent years into the past.
