    Summary

    “I need your help,” Tim says. “I need - “ again, the liquid sloshes in his cup. He releases it to rub his hands over the fabric of his pants. “I need your help.”

    “Do you?” She is usually not the one approached for these sorts of things. Jason gets the calls, and Roy charms his way into information. She is merely a companion, one that most people stay away from. “What sort of help do you require, Tim Wayne?”

    There’s a flinch, so minute anyone else would have missed it. He lets out a harsh breath and grabs for his drink once more. He yanks his mask down in one swift motion and brings the straw to his lips. He drinks like someone who hasn’t had water in days, with a single minded determination Kori has seen plenty of men use to go at bottles in dark lit bars.

    His face is flushed. The red comes through in blotchy patches made worse by the stark white that splatters the lower left of his jaw. On his cheeks are two reddened slashes. They start at the corners of his lips and cut up towards his ears in diagonal lines.

    “Sanctuary,” he says, when his cup is empty and his mask is up once more. “I seek sanctuary.”

    -

    In the aftermath of Joker's torture, Tim runs to the only place left he can think of.

    Summary

    Jason’s magic surges as he bares his teeth. He towers over Tim, big and imposing. Green pushes up against Tim’s shields, searching for weakness. “I don’t need a familiar,” Jason hisses.

    Tim stares him down coldly. His heart races in his chest, but Jason doesn’t need to know that. Jason needs to see that he will not be walked over, that Tim is his mother’s son and has plenty of teeth of his own.

    “Liar.”

    -

    (Or, Jason doesn't want a familiar; Tim doesn't want a bond. Bruce has other ideas.)

    Summary

    “I can stand,” Izuku insists, coughing a little. His throat feels dry, and the steam can only dampen the air he’s breathing, not soothe the thirst. “I can do it.”

    Ochako’s tone doesn’t leave anything up for discussion. “I didn’t ask if you could do it. We all know you could do anything if you really wanted to. We know you’re strong, Deku, you don’t have to show us.”

    Izuku laughs, feeling hollow. “I’m not strong.” Shouto tenses slightly at his side, but before he can say anything, Izuku closes his eyes and shakes his head. “Please,” he says. He’s not sure if it comes out as a request or a plea. “Don’t tell me how strong I am.”

    Or, the hero's shoulders, the human condition, a shower stall, and home.

    Summary

    In which Tim gets stabbed due to his adoptive brother’s incompetence, mocked by his adoptive father’s biological spawn, blackmailed by tech support as well as his ex-girlfriend, and finally both rescued and kidnapped by his adoptive brother’s brother – crime lord by trade, nuisance by nature. He should really try to be a bit less excited about that last part.

    Excerpt:
    “Please hold the line,” Tim said in his most monotone voice, tapping the side of his domino to switch to heat vision. “The person you are heckling is currently bleeding the fuck out.”
    “Have you tried applying pressure?”
    “When this is over, I’ll come over and apply pressure to your larynx.”
    It was kind of hard to hear over the sound of Damian rapidly whacking another drone with the hilt of his katana, but Tim was pretty sure that Jason made a noise like a revving engine. “Don’t threaten me with a good time,” he said.

    Summary

    He takes a long, slow breath. Ignores the glares from the other students. “Superboy,” he murmurs. “It’s me. If you’re listening, I could use some help.”

    Or: 5 times Superboy saves Tim Drake, and one time Tim Drake saves Superboy.
