Summary
Prince Timothy Drake-Wayne is exhausted, he has just finished saving his adoptive father from a horrid fate and is now facing an impending peace treaty agreement meeting with the country they have been at war with as long as Tim has been alive. The country Tim just rescued his father from.
A successful rebellion rose up from within and replaced the blood heir to the high throne of The Infinite Realms...however, High King Danea Erebos, no matter how different, looks a whole lot like Tim's best friend Danny Fenton, who disappeared at the age of 16 and never came back. Seems he may be a bit overdue.
Danny is exhausted, he has just finished overthrowing a tyrannical god-like king and has been crowned the high king in Pariah's place, as he should've been anyways. Now he has a peace treaty to obtain with literally all of the nations the Realms have been at war with because he has no desire to be at war any longer and they need allies and resources stat.
Prince of Gotham Tim Drake hasn't changed at all in 4 years...he's sorry he's late, he'll make up for it he swears

Summary
He wasn't Bruce’s son. That was Damian— that was Dick, and even Jason.
But not Tim.
He was just a placeholder.
Just someone keeping the seat warm before someone else claimed it. Before it got too cold.
A stand-in.
A replacement.
A nobody.
He might have a room and his things in the Manor, a suit to put on in the BatCave— but he didn't have a place in the family. Not really.
After the event of Batman and Robin #1 (2009) and Red Robin #1 (2009), Tim was left hurt by Dick’s decision to appoint Damian as his Robin. He was even more hurt when his brother didn't believe that Bruce was still alive, causing their relationship to fracture and making him doubt his place in the family.
Now that Bruce returned, all Tim wanted was his brother back.

Summary
Dick Grayson had been feeling uneasy for weeks, possibly months at this point. It made no sense. Bruce was back and he took over the role of Batman again. All of his little siblings were coming around for Thursday family dinners. Even Jason and Cass when she was in town.
It should have been perfect. Life was perfect. So why was he feeling uneasy?
He couldn't say.
All he knew was that every joke that passed between Tim and Jason made his stomach clench painfully. How was no one else concerned about this? How did no one else see what he was seeing? And when did they start referring to themselves as "Red Bros"?

“You shouldn’t be alone,” Jason said.

Summary
“Dick,” Bruce says, low and painful like it’s been punched out of him. He doesn’t say anything else. Not that long ago it would’ve made Dick angry, knowing that Bruce was feeling so much and still refusing to say anything about it.

Summary

And he's not leaving once Bruce comes back.

Summary
Clark updates Bruce on as much as he can of what Bruce missed in his absence. Dick has settled in as Gotham’s Batman, with Damian by his side as Robin. They are both doing a fine job, from the sound of it. Jason is in the wind most of the time, but he seems relatively okay, in Jason-terms. Bruce will work on that when he’s back on his feet. Stephanie has stepped in as the new Batgirl, which Bruce did not anticipate, but he finds that he doesn't mind the shift in roles. Cassie is on a plane from Hong Kong.
“And Tim?” Bruce asks.
Clark’s eyes hold an odd look for a moment, but it passes swiftly. “He’s become Red Robin, as far as I know. He seems to be doing okay.”
That isn’t concerning at all.

Summary
"The problem with the Batfam is that everyone is a narrative parallel to everyone else. They're all too busy talking to their own reflections or to the ghosts that haunt them to have a real conversation with each other."

Prequel series/story to My other story Future beyond I do recommend you read this first so you can greater appreciate the world of FB.
Tim is falling he saved his father's legacy, his father's family. he wasn't expecting to wake up...he wasn't expecting to face Dick not at least until he got bruce back...yet here he is wake in a gurney in the Batcave with the brat and his ex-girlfriend next to him, at least he's not dead that's a positive right?
Death would be better than this for all parties involved Death means no more talking yet here they are on a roof top in Gotham talking about both of their Faults the past year. TIm wished Damian killed him in the cave.
