Summary
Things I don't see in DC yet - Dick Grayson time travelling, deciding to join Talon just so he can fuck them up from the inside and then forcibly joins Bruce at 12. Bruce has no idea what to do with a murderous assassin kid who has more of his shit put together than he does. Also, not Dick vicariously adopting all of the Robins and Bruce faced with three smaller children sitting at his table every night looking at him accusingly.

Summary
The last thing Jason remembers before waking up in an AIM facility is a bright blue light and lugging his target's body toward extraction. Now, he's in a totally different universe without any idea of how to get back. With a group of people that seem just as messed up as him. Not that he's complaining. The redhead is pretty awesome and the WWII vet with a metal arm seems to get him. Plus, for some reason, he can't get the girl with the claws out of his head. Which is good because she seems to be on the same boat about him. If only he could get the kid to sleep and learn the definition of "self-preservation".

Summary
Parts one through three constitute the main series and are intended to be read in order.
Part four is a collection of oneshot what-if scenarios, each chapter spinning off from the main series at various points. The chapters can be read in any order, but most will not make sense without having read at least part one of the main series.
Parts five onward are all standalone what-if scenarios and can be read separately from the rest of the series.
Enjoy! :D

Summary
“Are there other children?”
Damian bites his cheek until he feels it swell between his teeth. Of course no version of the Batman would be content without returning back to wherever he came from with a trophy of his victory.
Ordinarily, Damian wouldn’t lie. It’s too high risk.
Today is different from any other day though.
“No, sir.” Damian allows the lie to roll off his tongue with just the slightest sprinkling of regret. "Not Anymore"

Bookmarker's Notes
“Oh,” the kid says, head turning to look back at the bathroom. “It’s fine. I’ve got it figured out.”
Dick’s face pulls to a pinched expression, shaking his head slowly. “As much as I’d love to believe you, I can’t. That stuff can’t just be emptied down the drain.”
The kid’s own face scrunches this time. “Why not?”
Jason has a feeling this kid doesn’t remember quite as much of his experience in the pit as Jason did himself. With a sudden jolt, Jason realizes this kid might not know he’s dead.
Great.
