    Summary

    There’s a small half-moon of blood under the white of Tim’s nail where he bent it. He studies the red of it, feeling foggy and dreamlike. “Can I ask you a question?”

    His brother’s eyes flick to him and away again, surprised and wary. “What?”

    His nail doesn’t hurt much, just the dullest of aches when he presses down against it. “When you were homeless, you slept with people for money, didn’t you?”

    Jason jerks like he’s been slapped. His knuckles are so pale where they grip the steering wheel they suddenly look more bone than flesh. “Did I -”

    “Was it worth it?” Tim asks, drifting like a cloud over whatever furious reaction Jason was about to give him. “The money, I mean.”

    His sternum slams into the seatbelt with bruising force. Unbraced for it, his head whips forward and back against his seat as they swerve off the road again and skid to a halt with a screech of rubber.

    Summary

    Tim knows, he just knows, that Jason is about to ruin everything. Jason is going to tell Bruce about his parents, and Bruce is going to misunderstand, and then he’ll call CPS, and Tim is going to be trapped in a group home and nobody is going to adopt him because nobody wants to adopt a fifteen-year-old, and he’s going to get into drugs and die under a bridge before he’s eighteen, and it’s all because of one stupid broken arm.

    Summary

    Tim curled up in a ball and shook with several, near-hyperventilating breaths. Jason clenched his hands into fists.

    “Hood?” came Nightwing’s tentative check-in, “How’s everything going?”

    I’m trapped under a building, he didn’t say. Tim thinks I’m going to murder him, he didn’t say. Get me out of here before I claw my own skin off, he didn’t say.
