   Summary

   Inspired by Cards on the table by wesslan, I highly recommend checking it out!

   Tim Drake’s parents “died” in a freak accident that killed their whole family. Coincidentally, they also committed Tax Fraud. When they left, Tim was let alone in Gotham. He spent some time on the streets, before deciding to get a legal identity. Oh also, he plays a lot of poker. And wins. And owns a casino.

   The Bat family are concerned about a new casino that seems to be a perfect playground for a rouge. The owner is said to be terrifying but he looks like he’s 14?? What’s up with that??
