summary: “When the Graysons fell their son went to his great-uncle to be trained as a Talon. Four years later he is rescued and taken to live at Wayne Manor. But, he is not the talkative boy he once was, in fact talking at all is a bit of a problem... A series of connected oneshots about how the Batfamily is formed when the older brother is not quite who he was meant to be.”
