Bluff Check with a Negative Two Modifier by batmoniker for justbeyondstars, motleyfam

Summary
Bruce doesn't miss the way Dick eyes the cigarette apprehensively, or the way his throat bobs as he swallows thickly. Maybe he should stop this. Maybe he shouldn't, as Jason had put it, goad the lad into smoking by calling his bluff. It's bad parenting, right?
But when Dick narrows his eyes, staring down still at the cigarette like an enemy to be conquered, Bruce thinks, 'nah, the boy needs humbling'.
---
Or, Bruce walks in on Dick holding a cigarette that they all know to be Jason's. But, when Dick claims it as his own, Bruce calls his bluff.

Summary
Dick winces. "That looks like it hurts."
"No shit," Jason snaps. Something akin to hurt flashes in Dick's eyes. It's there and gone in a second. Blink, and you miss it. But Jason hadn't blinked, and he hadn't missed it. Guilt settles heavily in his gut. He glances away and mumbles, "Sorry."
Dick graciously doesn't acknowledge the exchange. He merely reaches back to tilt Jason's face in the other direction. Neither of them speak this time, even when Dick sits up a little straighter and begins running a hand slowly through Jason's hair, trying to feel for any bumps or abrasions.
--
In which Dick shows up at the school to pick Jason up after he gets into a fight.

Summary
It begins as it always does: palms sweating, shivers down his spine, echoes of the Ides of March…
(Okay, maybe not that.)
It actually begins with Marcie Danvers bursting into tears as she scrambles up onto her desk, shrieking something about how the walls and floor are crawling with spiders. Only, there are no spiders. And, even if there were, it doesn't explain Angela Sinclair desperately trying to open a window because ”the ship is going down!”
And then Jason’s phone lights up with a single text message from Tim:
My dad’s here
That's when Jason realizes what's happening.
Fucking fear toxin.
Between one rapid heartbeat and the next, the school has erupted into chaos.

Batman stared at him for a long while. “Bruce Wayne.” He parroted slowly.
(A young Tim Drake gets kidnapped by Falcone. When Batman rescues him, Tim tells Batman that Bruce Wayne is his temporary guardian. Oddly enough, Batman isn’t fooled by this perfect cover story.)

Summary
He presses further into the younger boy’s space. “Let’s get one thing straight, Replacement,” he snarls lowly, and he knows his eyes are glowing an awful, predatory green. “I am very dead. And if I have anything to say about it, Batman isn’t ever going to be happy again.”
His face is tight with pain, but he’s doing a valiant job at controlling his ragged breathing, his blood a steady drip drip drip onto the tile between them. His eyes meet Jason’s unflinchingly, and Jason can see the green glow reflected in them. He expects begging, bargaining, even some of that trademarked Robin sass that Dick seems to have passed along with the mantle.
“Who did this to you, Jason?”

Summary
He raps lightly on the door frame, and Bruce looks up from his paperwork, the lines of concentration on his face falling away to be replaced by a smile as he sees Tim.
“Hey,” he says, turning in his chair to face him. “It’s good to see you. How was your check-up?”
The lines around his eyes are deeper than they used to be, a few strands of gray peeking through at his temples that weren’t there a year ago.
Tim smiles back, holding up the small pharmacy bag in his hand. “Got my antibiotics.”
He walks over, dropping down on the couch, the leather seat soft and familiar beneath him. He can feel his father’s careful gaze like a weight, knows he can pick up on the tension in Tim’s frame, the way his fingers crinkle the plastic bag nervously. He doesn’t bother to try and disguise his anxiety, just gets to the point. “I have to go off my suppressants.”

Summary
All he can see of Jason now is a hunched-up blob. “I’m - I can’t see,” he chokes out, and there’s none of the viciousness that was there moments earlier. “I can’t - it’s too dark, I don’t, - please let me out.”
His voice cracks.
“You are out,” Tim says, trying to make his tone soothing even as his heart clenches at the sheer fear in the older boy’s voice. “I - I don’t know what you’re seeing, but you’re outside, you’re on a roof, we’re not far from the docks. We got hit with something, do you remember that?”
The blob twitches. It might be a nod.
“Okay good,” he says, letting out a breath. “It’s, um. I don’t know what it was, but I think it’s affecting our nervous systems. I can’t - I don’t know about you, but I can’t move super well? And I think it’s messing with our ocular nerves. Your - your eyes are fine.”

Small and Certain Blues by SilverSkiesAtMidnight

23 Apr 2022
Tags
Summary
They drive to the drive-through a couple miles away, not the more charming and traditional walk-in shop that Dick likes to take him to when he picks him up from school. Two minutes later, they’re parked at the back of the lot, Tim twisting the plastic spoon in his cup of uneaten cookie dough ice cream, wondering if he could even swallow it past the lump in his throat.
Bruce hasn’t touched his sherbet either, just holds it in his lap. There’s a drop on the rim of his cup, lazily making its way toward his expensive slacks.
He moves before Tim can make up his mind whether to break the silence and warn him, reaching into his jacket pocket with his free hand and pulling out a familiar white pill bottle.
He sets the Prozac on the dash.

the antidote we look so hard to find by Scarlet_Ribbons
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types

Summary
“Too much,” Tim croaks around a mouthful of something, like he’s pulling teeth. He doesn’t want to speak (his voice is too loud, too sharp), but he doesn’t have a choice, because someone is banging on the door and he thinks they’re going to break in and find him vulnerable in a pile of clothes. It’s a horrifying thought no matter how Tim spins it. Gala Timothy Drake is long gone; it’s just Tim Drake and whatever hell this has to be—
[Tim has a meltdown. Bruce has... a way to help.]
