It's been real party people but I'm afraid it's time for me to be leaving. I've had so much fun interacting with so many of you, it's kind of hard to give it all up, but I think it's for the best. I hope to keep seeing most of you in the mun world, and wish everyone luck in all their endeavors.

If you feel you need a goodbye scene with either Jon or Tim (Tara? Cassie? I'm looking at you, let me know, I don't want to leave you hanging)

I for one will definately miss the fun we all had together.


Just say no to Methamphetamines

Friday afternoon and it was time for Kadaj's present, the one he'd given him the camera phone for.

Hoping he'll like the time away and especially where they're staying. Tim grabs his bag for the weekend and heads over to Kadaj's. He's got the Redbird, Kadaj will probably want to pack some stuff too and a car is better for holding everything than a bike would.

Climbing the stairs and knocking on the door he waits for some one to answer.

((Kadaj and Tim will be out of town for the weekend))

Tim's already through with his morning workout and run, and even after pushing his body extra hard, he's still thinking about last night. He'd run into a group of demons and though he'd been distracted by another run in in cyberspace, he still couldn't stop thinking about it.

Fact- he'd saved Wilson's life

Fact- he'd saved his own life

Fact- they'd turned out to be demons

Fact- he hadn't known that when he'd killed them

He's making himself breakfast, nothing fancy, just pancakes, turkey bacon and coffee, but it's not near enough to distract him from it all.

After his run in with demons, Robin returns to his new base of operations in Watership Downs. He needed to keep a record of these things, whatever they were, in case he encountered them again. Like the demons he'd encountered with Lee and Freya,the Cube and the zombies the night of the Valentine's Ball, these creatures went directly into the Batcomputer via his encrypted satellite link up.

His more sensitive files, those on the Lee, Kadaj, his brothers, the other Bruce and all of the more delicate, private information Tim had learned since coming to Tropolis, he keeps in an unnetworked computer at his base. It doesn't have even a thousandth of the computing power that the Batcomputer has, but it's the price he pays to keep things from Bruce.

Entering his passwords, he hooks up to the sattellite feed and begins transferring information, cross referencing everything already existing in the database.

((post locked to genius_tk, The Robin's Nest As yet unamed headquarters for Vigilanteism is located at B24 in Watership Downs))

The warehouse was great, amazing space to workout in, easy rooftop access and best of all, an easily concealed area to hide the Robin gear in. Computers, wardrobe, the arsenal of gadgets, everything was easy to keep away from his normal space.

Unfortunately, it just wasn't secure anymore. With Kadaj over so often and his growing friendship with Bruce, he couldn't afford to be this uncautious. He doubted Kadaj would ever go wandering around his place, it just wasn't his style, but the danger was still there and that danger was an unacceptable risk. Bruce would go snooping, investigating. He knew there were things Tim hadn't told him and as such, he'd look until he found out what it was, it was simply in his nature, he just couldn't help it.

So he packs everything up and has it sent across town, using the various companies his Bruce had cleared for any kind of movement like this. It's just a small move this time though, and hey, who knows what he can do with the extra space.

Alfred had had a giant dinner delivered to him, one of his own creation so it was bound to be delicious. He'd spent every Easter since becoming Robin eating whatever Alfred made, teasing his Bruce until he made time and they could all eat in the dining room.

So what does he do when he has too much food and a bunch of nostalgia? Does he call Lee so they could eat dinner and smile and maybe have her spend the night? No, because that would be smart. Does he crash another family's Easter pland by calling Kadaj and inviting him over? No, because that would be smart and rude. What does he do? He calls Bruce. And invites him over in the most clumsy way possible.

( So clumsy as to need a damn cut )

So he heats up dinner exactly how Alfred's instructions say. And waits

So by now you all now what I'm about. I'm one of those slashers. The kind that thinks Bruce and the batboys are all hot for eachother and sees gay at every turn. This is mostly because there is gay at every turn but if the Editors at DC want to live in denial, than they can throw their own party with it.

So, yeah, I think Tim totally wants to date Dick and possibly is dating Kon. (none of these are manips, I swear they are all legit scans, and ignore the speech bubbles in all but the first Kon one, Context Is For The Weak) And he definitely wants to sex w/ Bruce, but I don't see any of them really lasting for like, ever (maybe Tim/Kon, but that's in addition to my OTP)

Tim's real OTP, the person he's totally going to spend forever with (in canon, cause Kadaj/Tim OTP zomg yo!) is totally Cassandra Cain, Batgirl III. Tim leave Blüdhaven for FandomTropolis immeadiately following this arc, so I thought I'd give you a taste of what things were like back home. There's a bunch of emo fighting w/ Cassandra that I didn't include, cause really it's just Tim being mean and Cass kicking his ass in an effort to dupe the bad guys.

( Info On Cassandra Cain, any similarities between her and Kadaj are pure coincidence... I swear )

( Fresh Blood, or, Yes, Tim and Cassandra *will* OTP eventually. In the meantime, here's some eyecandy, *warning* most of this art is very, very bad except the panels with Tim's scars, those might melt your screen with hot. Also... Tim looks so damn young )

For those who give a damn, Kadaj is really kind of a blending of Kon and Cassandra rolled up into one sexy package. And given a completely different form... and a slight problem with the crazy.

This is under an LJ-cut because it's spamtastic. I recently procured scans of Identity Crisis Issues #5 and 6, the issues where Tim's dad is killed. I trimmed all the excess like, story out, so all there is is Tim's dad getting his ass handed to him, and much weeping. Please note, this is the first and only time Tim has cried in canon (okay, he cries in Teen Titans a little while later when telling them about his dad, but that's not my Tim's canon. This instance of crying is, because it's IC and you know, not retarded (look Tim's not a cryer okay? he especially ins't going to cry in front of his entire team, cause that's in public, and there's no crying in Crime Fighting!))

So, for anyone that was ever curious to exactly what happened. Warning: Not Dial-Up Friendly

( Identity Crisis #5, Tim doesn't usually look like this, I swear to god )

( Identity Crisis #6, there's stripping and underwear and it still manages to be really, really tragic )

and for those on dial-up:

P.S. Sorry about the completely random bit with the earing wearing boy and the telephone message. That's Captain Boomerang's son, it's not important and really, ignore at will.

After talking to Bruce at school, Tim heads over to Lee's apartment. He thinks it's time they tried doing something together that didn't involve life or death situations, tons of emo, or awkwardness of any kind. Except naked awkwardness... that would be okay

Once he's there, seeing as it's broad daylight, he decides to actually go inside the building and ring the bell. He hits the buzzer with 'Danvers' written across the bottom and does the 'headnod' of hello to some of the people that walk by him on their way to the gym while he waits for her to answer.

Tim takes his bike back home, ignoring the wolf whistles as he speeds away from the Triangle, skirt lifting up his thighs and providing quite the show. Over the two bridges between Babylon and The Flats and Tim can feel the anticipation in his stomach.

Once he's at home he strips out of the skirt and shirt, taking off the boots and stretching. Heading into the bathroom he starts the shower, stepping in once it's warm enough. Scrubbing make up off his face and product out of his hair, it takes a bit longer than usual.

Throwing a towel around his hips he uses another to start drying his hair.

((NSFW warning))

Can some one please unban me from chat? Please? They won't let me sign on... it makes me sad.

Why is this happening?

After taking Kadaj out for waffles which will happen, if we have to handwave the whole thing, Tim goes back home and thinks about tidying the place up a bit. He doesn't really want to make the bed, not yet, cause apparently he is a thirteen year old girl, but some things need cleaning and now is as good a time as any.

He isn't thinking about Bruce's rejection, or how awful he was to Lee... he's busy. No time to think about being rejected again, not being good enough or throwing aside help when it was offered out of friendship and devotion and... love. Lee loves him and it's possible he loves her back and he really needs to call her.

Tim spends the afternoon working out in the gym at his place. Going through his routine, one he'd been doing everyday for years helps him regain some of the balance he'd lost due to last night's... activities. He needed to be able to focus, focus was what was going to keep him alive out there.


After a shower, he decides to lay down before going out on patrol. He towels himself off an puts on his pajamas bottoms And lays down, totally not thinking about what he'd been doing up here the day before. It kind of seriously wasn't working.


((for flewtoohigh))

Tim get's home and showers. Once he's standing in front of his closet, towel wrapped around his hips, he wonders if he should maybe dress up a little. He decides on jeans again, but instead of his usual thermal and t-shirt combo he puts on a black turtleneck and a dark green sweater. The sweater feels incredibly soft and he feels oddly overdressed.

He makes their dinner and then packs it away in a bag, adding a thermos of apple juice before closing it up.

Kadaj had called earlier so instead of taking one of his other bikes over to the shop, he decides to walk. Jacket zipped up, the bag slung over one shoulder, he makes his way to the shop.

His hands hurt. He doesn't notice it until he's done for the night, back at home, safe and sound. He looks down at his knuckles... bruised; maybe he should add some more padding.

His gauntlets have never not provided enough padding. Of course, usually he isn't spending an entire night interrogating every bum and two bit hood in The Flats. He didn't think he was hitting them to hard, although, on reflection, some of them bled more than is customary.

Is he upset?

The past month flashes by in his head. Dead bodies and funerals for friends and loved ones; Himself with a gun and Kon's heat vision taking Slade's arm. And now Spiderman and Freya, who he failed and Lee... Linda... Supergirl, who he's pretty sure he'll fail. He isn't sure what she wants from him, but he doesn't think he has it. He doesn't feel like he has anything for anyone, he's just hollow inside. Seeing Bruce, happy and flirting doesn't help.

He notices the way his hands are shaking, just thinking about it. He enjoyed tonight, enjoyed it like he hasn't enjoyed patrol in a while. He'll add more padding to the gauntlets.

And tonight proved to be fruitful, enough corroborating witnesses to place the scuffle in The Flats within a ten to twenty minute period. Now it was time to place that back against the forensic evidence he'd collected at the scene.


((for flewtoohigh))

On Saturday Morning, Tim wakes to find three Batcycles waiting downatairs in the main area of the warehouse. Running his hands over the sleek finishes, he can't wait to head out tonight.

First: A picture of my avatar for Tim, with the smirk and everything.
