Summary
A strange blue box appears in the middle of Wayne Manor. The Batfamily reacts like they always do—with suspicion, analysis, and mild panic. Alfred already knows. He’s known for a long time.
What It Means
If you are bemused by something, you are confused or bewildered by it, and often also somewhat amused.

Summary
The Justice League ends up several years in the future... Or maybe it's an alternate universe? After all, there seems to be an extra kryptonian protector of this time's Metropolis, one that goes by Superboy.
Alternatively:
Clark is ecstatic to meet another kryptonian, even if it's one from a (maybe?) alternate universe but... his fellow kryptonian doesn't appear to share the same feeling of immediate kinship. Luckily enough, Superman isn't known for giving up!Series

Summary
He was in his room, in the manor, and it was messy, but not the mess it should be. Instead of broken glass from breaking the mirror in a fury, there were clothes strewn about the room. Instead of a bloody Red Robin suit on the bed from the last time he wore it two weeks ago, there were crumbled bed sheets and his laptop at the base. He couldn’t remember the last time he worked in this room on that thing.
So does that mean-?
He took a sharp intake of breath, suddenly doing a self-inventory. Bruce always taught them to check for injury when waking up in a strange and unusual place. Only this wasn’t a strange and unusual place, was it?Or
Tim lost everyone and everything, so in a desperate attempt to fix things he calls on an old friend to send him back in time to save his family. Only problem is there's a price, but he is willing to pay anything to get them back.

Stephanie wasn’t scared of Hood—Jason. Obviously.
She was…
Well.
She didn’t intimidate easily. If she did, Batman’s black disapproval would’ve been enough to put her off cape work long before now.

Summary
This is the beginning of a story. The start of many stories in-fact.
The start of a bat claiming a city of darkness.
The start of arrows flying in the city of stars.
This is the beginning of Tim Drake’s story.
—-Timothy Drake is thrown back to the boarding school days of people he thought he knew. He can’t change what he knows will happen. His actions have ripples, effects on these people he knows. There is a reason Bruce found out he’s good at being a detective. There is a reason Oliver Queen gets on the boat.
There is a reason.
Timothy Drake is that reason.

Summary
When Tim was younger, he had an imaginary friend. As he grew older, that friend turned out to not be as imaginary as originally thought. Now Tim knows of a world that operates on different rules than his own and he's been keeping that hidden from his family and friends as much as possible.
Until, of course, John Constantine loses a powerful artifact and suddenly his friend's world gets seen by Batman and there's no way for Tim to continue keeping this secret from his family.

“I know how this sounds but we believe we have traveled through time or dimensions, we-”
Batman’s gravelly voice cuts through the room, “Lantern”
The wake up call is much needed for Hal, "I'm on it”
A big green cage forms around the trio of time travelers(???), that’s honestly cooler than he could have hoped for. The cage is fit with iron bars, a rusty metal frame, and a large lock attached to the door. All green, of course. Some would call it garish and cartoonish. Hal calls it creative and why thank you green lantern for adding some whimsy to this place.
OR
After an unfortunate encounter with a new rogue Nightwing, Red Robin, and Robin find themselves on the Watchtower surrounded by an entirely too young version of the Justice League. Can they get back without changing everything?

Summary
"I came back because…I didn't have any other option. There was nothing left for me there.” No one. Not a single soul. Just Tim, somehow still left. He doesn't know why he's the one who survived. “Nothing—nothing really left at all. The whole planet was a wasteland as far as we could tell."
-- --
Tim's world ends. He tries to go back to fix it, but that means seeing everyone he loves alive again and dealing with the lack of recognition in their eyes. -

He learned the truth in middle school. Why his parents would always leave him in Gotham when they traveled. His mother took him to a summer camp in New York. it was there that he learned about his father, his true father, a god.

Summary
"If Todd skipped out on too many family meals, Grayson would be marching over to one of his safe houses and dragging him to the manor. If Brown or Cain was gone on a mission for too long, the family would make time for them to relax and Pennyworth would make their favorite meals to entice them to dinner. If Damian was too far into his head and feeling frustrated they would give him enough space that he didn't feel coddled but also open that door for him and eventually force him out of his own head.
But Drake... He hadn't come to family dinner for three months now, Todd never made it to the two month mark. Drake hasn't come back to the manor after a mission for anything longer than a sitrep and debrief. (Of which Drake consistently lied about and avoided medical attention every night and not once did anyone call him on it). And Drake was always in his own head and no one seemed to bother to pull him out. No one coddled, no open doors, no forcing him to float, just... letting him drown."
---
Or Damian notices Tim is treated differently than the rest of the family and wants to know why and he's determined to bring him back through bonding. -

Summary
Tim was never meant to be Robin. He knew that- he was just a stand-in, someone to be used until Batman was better or another Robin came along- he wasn't family. So, he hid his identity from everyone. No one knew who the third Robin was, not even Batman. Why is it, then, that the Waynes so interested in Timothy Drake? And why now, of all times?
OR: The Batfamily have been trying to lure Agent C back into the family ever since he ran away. It's a slow-going process. In the meantime, Damian has latched onto Timothy Drake, and is teaming up with Dick to try and adopt him. Whether he wants to be adopted or not.

Summary
“Baby Bird?” Jason’s voice shifted, softened into something almost fragile, as if he were speaking to a child. Maybe, in his eyes, Tim was exactly that. The familiar nickname—so wrong, so tender—sent a tremor down Tim’s spine. Jason never called him that. Jason never spoke to him with warmth.
Jason hated Tim.
He shut his eyes tight, praying this was just a cruel dream. But then warm hands cupped his face, grounding him. A metallic clatter echoed through the cave, sharp and final. The gun had hit the floor.
“No, no, no—don’t close those blue eyes, Baby Bird. Look at me,” this time Jason’s voice cracked into a plea. Every word trembled with fear, with a need that made Tim’s chest tighten painfully. Tim bit down on a sob, the taste of salt and blood filling his mouth, forcing himself to lift his gaze and meet the toxic green fire of Jason’s eyes once more. He could feel the tremor in Jason’s hands, the way his knees pressed into the cold floor, and it made his own body ache with tension.
Or,
Tim wakes up in Gotham, which looks too foreign, but he finds a home there.

Summary
His face is pale. Lips curled up in a grotesque smile. Torn up the cheeks, oozing blood that drips onto the cement floor. One hand rips at his dark hair, greasy and limp over manic eyes. The other hangs at his side, limply clinging to a gun. “Ha ha ha-” Half frantic laughter, half distraught sobs that rattle through his chest.
Between them, the Joker’s body. Blood blossoming around his head. Brain matter spattered on the floor. Smiling. Eyes vacantly staring up at the ceiling.
“Hahahahaha-”
Bruce approaches slowly. Like he’s approaching a skittish animal. “Tim,” he says softly, and the boy blinks at him, still laughing, still sobbing. There are tears in his eyes. “Tim, put down the gun.”

Summary
Well, it seems like he has already caught on. That answers your question from a few days ago.
You go into your kitchen and open a cabinet. There you grab a specific brand of tablets, sevredol. A few years ago you had surgery and your doctor prescribed these to help with any pain. Never thought it was going to become useful again.
You popped a few tablets, you didn’t know how much you should take to die. Once you researched it for curiosity but only got a stupid helpline. You swallowed the tablets with water. Then for safe measure, you took two more.
Or: The feelings of a depressed mc going through the game, and eventually tries to commit suicide.
