Summary
Tim's idea of fun is not sitting in some drafty old warehouse, tied hand and foot to a swivel computer chair.
It's a comfy chair, at least. He hasn't even been tied so that the ropes cut into the skin. His captor hasn't shown the slightest inclination toward hurting him — but she also hasn't shown the slightest inclination toward letting him out.
"You could have done this somewhere better, you know," says Tim, and kicks the chair into an idle spin, for lack of anything else to do. It just sort of wobbles and totters forward into a slow turn.
"Oh, don't be like that," says Selina.

Summary
"Did you see?" says Dick, and he lets go of Tim's shoulders to take him by the arm, tugging him toward the kitchen instead of the Batcave. "Alfred made cookies."
"Think he's trying to lure you in," says Tim, with a huff of a laugh. "Like one of those traps they bait for raccoons."
"Raccoons are too smart for that, baby bird," says Dick, blithely, and swipes up one of the bait-cookies anyway, biting into it with an appreciative little hum.
Tim finds somewhere else to look — fixes his gaze on a spot on the far wall, trying hard to ignore the way the kitchen smells of cinnamon and nutmeg and sugar. His stomach twists a little, hopeful, and he tells it firmly that these aren't for him. They're Dick's welcome-home cookies.

Summary
Seven-year-old Tim Drake appears to be the ideal child: intelligent, well-behaved and unfailingly polite.
Across the lawn, the Wayne household lives a very different life. Bruce Wayne and his spirited brood, including Dick, Cass, Jason, Duke and Damian, fill their residence with noise, chaos and unconditional affection, anchored by Alfred’s steady presence.
Tim has spent his entire reality mastering one skill: survival through being flawless. An immaculate boy doesn’t cry. A faultless son doesn’t complain. An impeccable child never gives his parents a reason to hurt him.
He doesn’t expect anyone to notice how small he has become inside his own world.
The Waynes do.
This is the slow unraveling of a secret, the gentle, desperate struggle to protect and save the kid hiding behind polished etiquette.
It’s about the Wayne family who refuse to look away and the boy who discovers that being loved doesn’t require being without blemish.
He just has to step next door.
This is the story of the child who learns that safety, warmth and care were always within reach.
Belonging was waiting for him, just right next door.

Summary
"Do you know what a desperado is in chess?"
Tim Drake watches his world fall apart within the span of a week; the pillars of strength, his personal heroes, all disappear into interplanetary space without a trace. Well, that would be, if not for the foreboding, alien planet headed straight for Earth.
As Batman confides in him one last time, Tim Drake will do whatever it takes to preserve humanity and take down the otherworldly being. Even at the cost of shattering reality.
