    Summary

    “The Red Hood has been good for Gotham,” Robin continued. “Crime in Park Row decreased by sixty one percent almost as soon as you showed up, and that’s even taking into account all the crime you commit. Drug overdoses have decreased by twenty two percent in adults and seventy nine percent in minors. Homeless minors are ninety two percent less likely to—”

    “Kid,” Jason interrupted. “Enough statistics. What the hell is this about?”

    Robin slowly lowered the tablet with his powerpoint presentation and looked up at Red Hood.

    “You care about Gotham,” Robin summarised. “Gotham needs Batman. Batman is missing and so is Nightwing. We need you to fill in for Batman.”

    “You want me to cover Batman’s patrols?” Jason clarified.

    “No,” Robin said. “I want you to be Batman.”

    Jason bluescreened.

     

    (Or: Batman and Nightwing mysteriously disappear before Red Hood has even started antagonising them, Robin is desperate, Gotham needs Batman, and Red Hood is Batman-Shaped.)

    Summary

    “I vowed that I would do anything if it might help you forget your heartbreak, did I not? It would be ungentlemanly of me to break that promise now.” Hildibrand leaned in closer as he spoke, close enough that the petals of his corsage brushed against Briardien’s tunic. Briardien watched one fall, spiraling, to the ground. “And so I ask you, Inspector: would this help?”

    Briardien licked his lips. He cleared his throat, the sound too loud in the stillness. “There’s only one way to find out, so what are you waiting for?”

    -

    Hildibrand takes it upon himself to cheer Briardien up after a certain betrayal.

    Summary

    Future Trunks ends up going farther back in time than he'd intended, and running into (getting robbed by) the desert bandit Yamcha - who is too attractive for his own good, and far more decent than he first appears, but, really, doesn't seem to be that important overall. So taking him along for the ride shouldn't have any problematic effects on the timeline... right?
