clint’s brow furrowed his brow, head tiliting as he tried to place whoever this was. his face was slightly familiar, probably from coming into the shop, but clint doubted the kid knew him or loki well enough to tell a difference in the way he moves. “sorry but… do i know you?” clint grabbed his coffee, taking a sip. “why would you want to switch though? waking up in some strangers bed, not knowing who or where you are… not really my idea of a good time.”
“No, I’m Tim Drake.” He offered up. “I just come in here a lot.” He shrugged softly and looked at the other with a smile. He didn’t really have a significant look on him, so he figured it was easy to not find his face familiar. “I don’t know.” He sighed and looked down, maybe it was because he felt insignificant enough. Bruce Wayne was his father - and that was a loaded statement - then his brothers were all well-known and here he was feeling plain and ordinary. “Uh... One caramel cappuccino, please.” he decided to change the subject.
jon walked into the coffee shop, it was about time he clocked in for his shift. when the bell of the coffee shop rang he watched as the gun moved to face him and tim.
jon was bulletproof, the others in the cafe were not. he quickly put his hands up - not wanting to piss off the man with a gun. he looked up at tim, in that instant being reminded what all the batboys had in common - attitude.
He knew who Jon was, but this cafe had a lot of people in it. So they had to think about this and that was something that would be hard.
He then heard the gunman tell everyone to get down and sit on the ground. He looked at Jon trying to tell him that they needed a distraction. If he could get behind the gunman and control his arms - so he didn’t go spinning around and blindly shoot at everyone and thing.
people were acting ODD. not to say they didn’t always act odd. damian had found since arriving in new york, and having grown up in gotham ( as well as assortment of other places ) that people had a penchant for oddness in general. THIS though, was a bit more than the usual. people of all sorts seemed out of place. lost in their own reflections, mild confusion, a displacement within themselves. it was suspicious and damian could only guess something not-so-good was behind it. he wasn’t typically a fan of interacting with people in any sort of way, but if he didn’t do SOME investigating he wouldn’t be able to figure out what was going. “you notice something odd going on?” he asked bluntly, figuring he may as well not beat around the bush of something fishy going on.
He looked up at his brother, although they had a rough past, he nodded to him and sided with him. “People are being swapped into different bodies for some reason. I haven’t yet figured out why or how? But so far that seems to be the jist of it all. The local cafe I go owner switched with his lover. Which means even Gods and humans are all affected by this. I’m just sure why we weren’t.” He looked around and watched how some people were even tripping over their own two feet. “Have you seen Bruce? Do you know if he, Dick, or Jason were switched?” He asked looking back over towards Damien.
was clint in a different body? yes. was clint going to stop his day because of it? no… well, at least not totally. for the most part things were still somewhat normal for him, apart from the occasional floating chair and changing between loki’s male and female forms ( which was one hell of an experience. ) a couple of his baristas were effected by whatever happened so he was covering for them. for the first day in practically his entire life, clint hadn’t hurt himself yet. he also didn’t need his hearing aids at all which was nice, but he was worried about loki having to deal with that. he’d only had godly durability for a few hours and he could tell it’d be a struggle to not have it. hearing the bell he looked up and smiled “are you you or did you get the ol’ switcharoo too?”
Tim’s spyware and firewall business was going good, but he didn’t know if that was where he wanted to stop with his career. He decided to head down to his face coffee place and so he could enjoy a creamy caramel coffee and write out some of his ideas on what he wanted to do with his future, yes he was still young but time didn’t wait for anyone to decide to up and move. He entered into the place and went right to the cabinet. He laughed at the other’s words, but nodded his head. “I am me. I was a little sad when I found out I didn’t get changed, even tried to research logistics behind all of this.” he shook his head. “But you aren’t you. You move very differently today than you normally do.” It wasn’t that he stalked Loki or Clint but he was just very good with his detection skills. “How is the switch going for you?”

originally when he had awoken in a van, deke had assumed he’d been KIDNAPPEDagain. a fair assumption given the van-ness of everything. it was only when he’d realized the lack of lock, lack of being tied up, or captors he thought otherwise. there was also the fact that a phone that was decidedly not his ( his phone had a customized ring tone ) was ringing off the hook. deke had attempted to answer but found himself unable to even get the thing OPEN, a ton of pass-codes ( or whatever they were ) blocking his usage. he was quick to leave the van behind and a bit tempted to leave the phone too ( he didn’t but the temptation was indeed there ). it was only when passing by a store with a glass display he took stop in his stride. was that daisy in there ?? she looked to be staring right at him— except, she didn’t say a thing or step forward. she looked confused. his hand raised for a wave and she mirrored it so easily… “daisy… ?” maybe this WASN’T daisy. she wasn’t the type to mimic. plus it felt more like a REFLECTION. and— his voice too— turning to the nearest bystander, he asked. “sorry to bother you but uh- do i uh…” how did he even go about asking this? “do i look like a badass superhero with beautiful hair?”
Tim had been on patrol since all of the craziness first started. He knew that the solution to this would be out of his scope of practice and that someone with crazy powerful powers would probably be the one to handle this type of thing. So all he could do was keep the streets safe and sane. He saw a woman who looked as if they didn’t belong in their own body, so he figured that they were going through the change and he was prepared to try to help them keep calm. But he didn’t expect the other to turn towards him and ask him a question. “I wouldn’t have placed you as a superhero. But you do have amazing hair. So I guess short answer is yes.” He nodded his head and looked at the woman with a curious expression. “But I am guess you aren’t you. Well the you that you were born as.” He tried to say, but felt like either way he put it that it would come out weird.
During the day, Tim often frequented a local coffee shop. It was a hole-in-the-wall place called the DeLish Cafe. They roasted their own coffee in-house and it was really good. Not too bitter or to weak. The atmosphere was great too. It was homey but also had a sense of professionalism to it- there was also the added benefit of being a block away from his apartment. It was the perfect place to go have lunch and get some work done.
Tim was at the DeLish Cafe at his usual time, sitting in the corner table on his laptop with a cup of coffee and a half-eaten pastry. For being an twenty something year old CEO of his own up and coming brand of spyware and firewall products and vigilante this was probably the most normal and relaxing part of his day. Sometimes when he needed a break and the baristas weren’t busy he’d walk up and talk to some of them. Some baristas flirted with him and sometimes he’d flirt back for play.
Today it was a quiet day, so Tim left his earbuds in his bag. He really didn’t mind the cafe’s soft noise. Soft alternative rock music with an overlay of chatter and the sounds of the baristas working was enough to keep him focused on his work. A panicked voice caught his attention and he looked up. At the counter there was a man with an M-16 pointed at the person at the register. Without thinking Tim stood up. "HEY! Back off."

TIMELINE:
everything for him is canon, in the comics, so feel free to message me if you are connected to him through the comics or have plots that differ in other medias that he is featured in too.
By the age of nine, Drake exhibited a genius level intellect and had deduced the identities of Batman and Robin as Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, after witnessing a gymnastic maneuver by Robin that he previously saw Grayson display in the Haly Circus
Inspired by the heroes' exploits, Tim trained himself in martial arts, acrobatics, detective skills, and scholastics to better himself both physically and intellectually. When Tim reached the age of thirteen, he saw that Batman had grown reckless and violent following the second Robin (Jason Todd)'s murder.
After his mother's death and his father's paralysis, Drake decided to intervene and Batman eventually enlisted him as the third Robin.
batman was reluctant after jason’s death, but tim proved himself - batman put him through hell of a regimen for training, sent him to various teachers around the world for a solid year, and upgraded the Robin uniform and equipment before allowing Tim to work beside him.
Over the years, he worked not only as Batman's partner on the streets of Gotham City, but also worked with other teenage vigilantes/heroes. Though he started off as the leader of the team known as Young Justice, eventually he followed in the Dick Grayson's footsteps in helping found a new generation of Teen Titans.
Following the deaths of his father in Identity Crisis, his best friend Superboy (Kon-El) in Infinite Crisis, and the presumed death of his friend Stephanie Brown in Batman: War Games, Drake was relocated to Blüdhaven, the city where Nightwing fights crime, for a period of time in order to escape the "ghosts" of Gotham City and to stay close to his stepmother Dana Winters who was admitted into a Blüdhaven clinic after going into psychological shock over Jack Drake's murder at the hands of Captain Boomerang.
Tim Drake was then given another redesign of the Robin costume with a red and black color scheme. The colors are those of Superboy's costume,
After an event known as Final Crisis seemingly led to the death of Batman at the hands of Darkseid, Tim was seemingly the only person who believed that Bruce Wayne might still be alive.
After Dick Grayson took the mantle of Batman and gave Damian Wayne the role of Robin, Tim left Gotham City.
He donned the costume of Red Robin and began his search for Bruce, following a trail of clues around the world, and getting some unexpected assistance from Ra's Al Ghul and the League of Assassins along the way.
this is where I get creative
he still goes by red robin, when in disguise.
he still lives in the wayne manor, but not bothered by it since he feels included when he does have all his brothers around or have small talks with alfred.
he is currently enrolled in a computer engineering major, criminal justice major, and taking culinary arts classes. doesn’t know if he wants to follow in dick grayson’s footsteps with being in law enforcement or venture out to something on his own.
leader of the young justice team.
trying to find a cool weapon - he loves the bo staff, but is thinking of ways to enhance it.
i think thats all i got for now.
WANTED CONNECTIONS:
BatFamily!! Bruce, Dick, Jason, Damian, Stephanie, Cassie, ALFRED, all of the above. He wants connections with them hard. They are his new family and he loves them to hell and back even if he feels inadequate to them at times.
KON-EL. I am a sucker for TIMKON, but if now we can settle for them being besties, but tim will look so fight us.
Young Justice. He is the leader of this team and he wants it here.
friends? – he may not have many, since he is kinda reserve, but I think some to have would be great. maybe even a close friend (could be from marvel or oc) that he’s showed around the Wayne Manor.
foes – i am sure he has a million from being red robin and from being bruce wayne’s son
