    Summary

    When HJ was a little girl, he had a puppy of some kind. Clumsy fluffy thing. Whatever became of it? "They don't let you see they're getting old, they don’t want you to worry, and then one day..." He makes a krrhhrkt kind of noise, to evoke mortality in the language of this fool.

    Patty Babcock pales.

    "It can't be easy to find housing in San Diego," HJ goes on, "if you've got an incontinent dog, and I mean, the vet bills alone, right? Ha ha."

    Summary

    “Jesus Christ, Steph,” Tim sighed in frustration and raked a hand through his hair. “You care more about me not telling you there was an elephant than about the fact that there was a rampaging elephant. You only care about my problems when you can make them about you.”

    Coming out isn't always sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes, break-ups should hurt, at least a little.

    Summary

    There's no way he could pass for Dick’s actual brother and he’s got the face of a shell-shocked cartoon mouse — but not the cutesy mice, the ones in the old 80's movies that gave Dick nightmares as a child. That plus the fact the Drake kid’s got a thick New Jersey accent he can’t shake and that Dick doesn’t look grown-up enough to be toting around a preteen is sure to get people asking questions. Or worse. So Dick hauls Tim in by the strap on his backpack, steps onto the shoulder, sticks his thumb skyward toward the cloudless cornflower blue of middle America in summer, and prays whoever pulls over lies somewhere boring on the sliding scale between serial killer and snitch.


    Dick Grayson turns 20 on March 20th, Jason Todd dies on April 27th, and by May 23rd, Bruce Wayne's ward-not-son is rattling around in the bed of a 1979 Ford F-150 heading anywhere but Gotham, New Jersey. Wayne money and Bat technology can't find him, but he's got a bug-eyed shadow and a raw Robin-shaped wound to haul across the continental United States.
