    Summary

    After spending six years being experimented on by her father, Vienna takes the opportunity presented by his arrest to flee to Gotham. With a resurrection, some regeneration, and limited telepathy, she's not totally out of her depth, but staying off the bat's radar becomes much harder after an attempted mugging goes haywire.
    Now, the infamous Red Hood knows she exists, and she can't seem to avoid him. Not wanting to reveal the secrets of her metahuman abilities, it becomes her new mission to stay as far away from him and the rest of the bats as possible.

    Arkham Asylum was no different than any other prison she'd been in. Whether it was brick walls that held her or the faded reds and yellows of a circus tent, it was all the same to Lauren. Just another place trying to make her out to be a monster. It did not matter her motivations, her justifications, any of the reasons she could give them; Lauren belonged behind bars.
    No matter, she'd find her way out just like before. Maybe this time, she wouldn't have to take out the eager psychiatrist, on the same path as all the others who wanted to 'fix' her.

    Summary

    Designation: N.E.X.
    Classification: Null Entity - eXcommunicated
    Status: Irregular. Unaccounted for. Do not engage.

    She was never an error. Just unreadable. That's what they said. Error. Corrupted. Misaligned neural net, incomplete behavioral heuristics, failure to comply with baseline interaction protocols, blah blah blah. I've seen actual errors. I've been one, according to their standards.

    She wasn't an error. She was something the system didn't know how to read. That's different.

    Humans do this thing where if a person doesn't behave the way they expect, it must be broken. Dangerous, even. Because obviously they're the standard.

    (Spoiler: they're not.)

    (This fanfic is a mix of all 7 TDOMB novellas/novels, and the Apple TV show combined.)

    Summary

    The boy looks up with hazel eyes. There is a look in his eyes that only a son could have for his mother. A desire to make her proud. “My name is Jayce of the House Talis. My father is Edmund Talis. I’ve come to claim my birthright as heir to my House.”

    And through his stumbling words, his mother thinks- yes. You will make me proud.

    (Or: Jayce and Ximena Talis never make it out of the snowstorm together. Jayce and Viktor meet, decades before they should, as two children of Zaun. This changes everything.)

    Summary

    ____

    Tim Drake died at seventeen, his family long broken beyond repair.
    A Cuckoo finally rid from the nest.

    But when he wakes up in his time, just a year after the Graysons death and appearance of the first Robin.
    Tim wouldnt let his family suffer again, even if it meant he couldnt join them.

    Bruce Wayne is not "Brucie Wayne"
    Tim Drake is not "Timothy Drake"

    They are both personas, a front to prevent people from looking at whats really under the surface. But sooner or later Tim should have known Gotham being a city of secrets, nothing stays buried forever. Especially not when the bats get involved with their trashy next door neighbor whose behavior seems more and more contradictory.

    Tim had saved them all more times than he could count, maybe this time they could return the favor.
