Summary
Mid-afternoon, he wandered Gotham from the ground, idly searching for dumpsters that might be a good place for a next meal on his way to the fairgrounds where Haly’s Circus had pitched their tents two years ago. The ground was bare, dirt hard packed with the approaching winter, and dead leaves crunching under foot. A handful of trees lined the edge, naked branches reaching out towards him. Perhaps at one point there had been a forest at their back, but now it could hardly be called a grove. Dick dug the toe of his too-big boots into the dirt trying to picture the strings of light overhead, the big top tent, and the caravans circled around to create their own neighborhood in every city they stopped in.
“Retrace your steps,” Dick said, turning in circles. “Where did you see Dick Grayson last?”
Two years ago, Dick Grayson went missing, but no one was there to notice. Returning to the scene of the crime, he’s determined to get revenge not only for his parents, but also, for himself and every other child who went missing by the same hands that snatched him away. Becoming Robin, building a family, and tricking a billionaire into believing he’s got four kids is totally part of that revenge plot. Totally.

Summary
Apparently, Mr. Oz decided psychologically torturing a 15 year-old for six months was no longer "cool." And now Tim's paying the price for that, because instead of killing him like any good, self-respecting villain would, he's dropped him back on Earth with an apology and a snack.
Or,
It's been six months for Tim. It's been 10 years for Tim's family.
I'm sure it will all be fine.

The Dark Side of the Looking Glass by writersagainstwritersblock

Summary
As a general rule, Bruce believed time, space, and dimension were not to be messed with. However, in this case seeing as an alternate universe’s Batman had come to their universe with the intention of killing him, replacing him, and tearing down their Justice League from the inside so his Justice League could implement their own brand of justice on as many universes as possible, it seemed like a problem best not left to fate.
“I say we take the fight to them,” Hal said. “If they want to go around messing with our dimension, then fucking up theirs is fair game.”
“Play on their home turf? No way,” Barry said. “They’re bound to realize their plan didn’t work eventually and then they’ll have to bring the fight to us.”
“And who knows how many other unsuspecting civilians that may be caught in the crossfire of their attack,” Clark said.
“I say we find out everything this imposter knows and then face them head on,” Diana said.
“Oh please, if that doesn’t work on our Batman, there’s no way it works on evil Batman,” Oliver said.
“Bruce?” Clark asked.
“It was a good plan,” Bruce said.

Summary
“No comment.”
“You don’t know what I was going to ask,” Clark said with a hint of a smile. “Maybe I just wanted to congratulate you on catching the Film Freak.”
Bruce gave him a flat look.
“Or maybe I think I can help.”
“With a case of vandalism?”
Clark stepped in front of him. “It’s not vandalism and you know it, detective.”
“And what makes you say that?”
“If it were vandalism it would be something a lot more juvenile. To the point. It wouldn’t claim there were seventeen missing kids. That’s public outcry.”
“Is that so?”
“That and I tried to do a story on the growing number of homeless children last month and I got shut down. According to the last count, the numbers have been decreasing, but there’s been no change in policies, no extra funding to CPS, or shelters, or even an increase in the number of inmates in the juvenile detention center. So where are they going?”
Detective Bruce Wayne may have the highest solve rate in Gotham, but if he wants to solve this case, he’ll need the help of an elusive street kid, and while Dick Grayson always lands on his feet, he usually lands himself right into trouble.

Summary
Bruce Wayne has never heard of Dick Grayson outside of a file. The Grayson family died when he was out of the country and he never had the opportunity to investigate their strange demise.
Years later, Dick is for rent on the Blue Corridor, but he’s got a plan to change that. A wrench gets thrown in it by the appearance of a scrappy street rat, but he’s only staying until something better comes along. Dick might even sort of love the kid after a while—until he disappears like so many others in The Narrows.
When the only person Dick can think of to call on for help won’t answer, he becomes determined to take matters into his own hands, no matter the cost.

Summary
After a moment, Strange finishes his spell, letting out a sigh as he drops his magic. The arc reactor in his hand shimmers with power, both magical and regular, the steady white-blue now accented by shivering, red-orange symbols that gently orbit the metal casing.
“Fancy,” Tony says, reaching out to take it.
Strange pulls his hand back instead and says, “Forgive me, Tony.”
Tony can’t move. He freezes in place, hand twitching above the changed arc reactor. Confusion, followed by shock, followed very quickly by fear driven anger as Tony snap his eyes back to Strange.
Strange meets his gaze and says, “When you find him, ask Tim for help.”

“You were supposed to help me,” Tim says. The accusation is more resigned than angry.
What did he think Bruce would do? Honestly? Adopt him on the spot?

Revenge is a Word I Haven't Yet Defined (I’m not sure I’m worthy of such theatrics) by OliOcelot
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man (Tom Holland Movies), Spider-Man - All Media Types, DCU

Summary
After the Lazarus Pits and a year of training with the League, Talia sends Jason to Gotham for revenge. Except Jason isn’t as deep as she thinks. The thing is, he expected to see Bruce - Batman - and be livid. He let him die, replaced him. He should be mad.
He isn’t.
In the end, it’s hard to think of yourself as being replaced when you died. So yeah, he’s angry, but he’s not angry enough for revenge. Not like Talia wants him to be.
So he focuses on Red Hood and cleaning up Crime Alley, and scraps any ideas of revenge he had left. They’re unnecessary. Counterproductive, in fact, because now that he’s actually seen Bruce, all he really wants is to go home. Maybe have a conversation or two about how bad Bruce and Dick messed up, but at home.
Instead, he gets caught up in world altering magic from some criminal in over his head, and Jason finds himself tumbling through universes into a New York filled with heroes that he’s never even heard of and a lack of Gotham and Metropolis that can only mean one thing. This isn’t the world he knows.
All he wants is to get home, to make amends, to try again. Too bad none of them know he’s gone. Not that anyone would think to look for a dead boy.

Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust (filling up my coffee cup) by LilaVaporizer9000
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types

Summary
There is occasionally a certain point one reaches during the attempt to attain a goal where one decides that the goal is just not worth it.
Unfortunately, this also often coincides with being at a point in the attainment of that goal where it’s too damn late and you’re just gonna have to suck it up, buttercup, and get your shit together and do it anyway.
Tim is pretty sure this shit is absolutely not worth it, but it’s too late now and even if it wasn’t, Mama ain’t raise no fuckin’ quitter.
Or:
Tim’s quest to bring Bruce back from his Time-Travel-Super-Vacation goes horribly topsy-turvey when Ra's takes a more pro-active approach to keeping Tim prisoner, and he ends up in an alternate universe where he never existed, and everybody is disorientingly well-adjusted and weirdly obsessed with his “wellness”, whatever that means.
Tim hates mystical artifacts.

Summary
Tim didn't understand why his parents always left. Why they never stayed for him. He thought that maybe, just maybe, this year, they'd stay for his birthday.
And really it's fine, he's fine, that they didn't. He'll find someone else to celebrate with.
Everything's fine.
At least, that's what he convinces himself under the flashing lights and pounding music. Under the drinks and dancing and the sweat of other people's bodies far too close to him.
It lets him forget. For just a little while. Forget about his parents, about being Robin, about the Waynes or his school. Just for one second, Tim wants to forget.
So this wonderland swirls and warps and changes until Tim has nothing left to remember. He smiles along with it.Bookmarked by AlmostNinja
