Summary
The last thing Peter sees is Tony's horrified, heartbroken expression leaning over him. The guilt in his eyes is almost worse than the burning pain that's taking Peter apart piece by piece. The world starts to go dark.
There's a flash of gold and green. For one moment, he finds himself standing amongst the Guardians and others. And then darkness again. It feels like blinking; an extended period of nothingness that ends as abruptly as it begins. One moment there’s nothing, the next there’s light.
“Easy,” a woman says. Her words are gentle, and carry a slight accent that he can’t place. "I'm called Wonder Woman. What's your name?"

Summary
The valet opens the door as he places a ticket under the windshield, a hot breeze lazily snaking its way into the backseat. Then, he climbs out and shuts the door behind him, and the air falls as still as a crumpled quilt.
He doesn’t so much as glance at the backseat window as he walks away, leaving Tim alone to wait.
And that’s… that’s probably fine! His parents did say that going to a gala with them was something for big kids to do, and he already knows big kids are supposed to be able to be able to be apart from their parents without throwing a fit, so maybe this is why. Maybe waiting like this is part of every grown-up event, and that’s why he needed to be a big boy before he could come with them.
So yes. He can be a big boy. He can wait, alone.
It’s even kind of exciting! He’s not sure he’s ever been completely alone, without even a nanny nearby.
He just… well, he wishes they could have left the AC on while he waits.

Summary
"Batman told me not to take food from strangers." He repeated loyally, not even looking at the plate as his stomach growled. Stephanie snorted.
"Batman isn't here, birdy." She teased, then bit her lip. Ok, so maybe she does sound a bit like a rouge. She can hear it, now that Tim pointed it out.
"He will be." Dick claimed, not even a crumb of doubt in his voice. "Batman is going to find me because I trust him, like he trusts me not to break the rules."
Tim snorted, this time. "You're Robin. If you aren't breaking Batman's rules and keeping him on his toes, what are you doing?"
Dick's face twitched, in the way that meant he was rolling his eyes, and he exaggerated the gesture by rolling his head with it. "Those are for his stupid rules that don't make sense. Like trying to bench me for no reason, or telling me not to microwave cereal."

or; Steph and Tim get stranded in the past, and Steph comes across a lost and delirious little bird. Literally what else is there to do but kidnap him.Series

Summary
Red Hood doesn't know that Stephanie Brown is the new Robin.
Tim Drake doesn't know anything about Red Hood or why he wants to fight Robin. All Tim knows is that a man in a red helmet just broke into his house.
Jason needs to figure out what's going on, Tim needs a dad, and Stephanie needs to figure out just how long she's going to last as Robin.
