Danny has more than one clone, but one of them was eventually adopted by Fruitloop.

What if we reverse the story? I've seen a lot of fanfics where Danny is Damian's clone. But what if we do it the other way around? Danny could have been Bruce and Talia's real son. Perhaps he was lost during the coup when he was still an infant. And Talia decided to make a clone in honor of her lost son. Or perhaps it was under Ra's watch that Danny disappeared, and to keep Talia from finding out, he made a clone.

Tim Drake was Stray in a time when Jason was Robin. They had relationship. Tim also knew that Jason was going to Ethiopia, but Robin asked him not to tell anyone and promised that the first thing he would do when he returned to Gotham was let Stray know that he was okay. And Stray give him a promisse to uncover his identity at that day. Jason dies without ever knowing that his neighbor, Tim Drake, was his Stray and boyfriend. --- Titans tower When Red Hoodd took off his helmet Robin looked rumpled and shoked. Jason watched carefully and absorbed the change of emotion on the Replacement's face. Shock turned into emptiness, and emptiness turned into furious rage. Faster than Jason could follow, the feral Robin was already attacking him and.. this wasn't B's fighting style. - "Don't worry it's just a quick trip", my ass. "Don't tell B, I'm handle it", jerk. "I'll leave a note with full explanetion", you bastard. Jason didn’t have time to think about what the Replacement was saying, he tried to fight back. And when he managed to gain some distance and hope for a break, the brat began to throw objects at him. - "I'll be fine, kitty, stop being so paranoic", you shit. - Jason start to panic. No,no,no. Hold on, for a one fucking second - "You'll be the first one I tell you that I'm back!", lier! Yep, it's his Stray. He's so dead now. Red Hood dodged another thrown object. He wasn't ready for that!

They will always hate drugs.

Jason was just about to establish himself as the Red Hood when a new gang released a powerful gaseous drug onto the streets of Gotham. Robin was grounded for something, Nightwing was out of town, and Batman couldn’t handle everything alone. Only a limited number of people were affected, but it was enough to cause chaos in the streets.

For the first time, the Red Hood was seen helping Batman and then disappearing after a fight with the gang.

But here’s the thing—when Jason got home, he took off his helmet, which had been filtering out the drug, and collapsed onto the couch, still in his gear, which was covered in traces of the substance. Batman did almost the same—he removed his rebreather in the Batmobile, and once in the Batcave, he accidentally fell asleep at the Batcomputer.

Neither of them realized they were still under the influence of the drug.

The next morning, Bruce had to hold a press conference for the opening of the Jason Todd Memorial Library. Normally, his behavior could be brushed off as "Brucie" being eccentric. But this was a live broadcast, and Jason—just waking up and still high—saw it. He vaguely remembered he had some elaborate plan to get revenge on his father and kill the Joker. But why bother when he could just go to Bruce right now and say everything to his face in front of the whole city?

Time skip.

B: – You are not my son! How dare you pretend to be him!? J: – I can prove it! I remember how we met—when I was trying to steal the tires off your car! Who else would know that!? B (let’s remember he’s still drugged): – Someone must know because Jason never called me "Dad"!

(Scene where Bruce starts crying, occasionally sobbing things like "Chum" or "My little boy," while Jason—who has dug himself out of his own grave, been hit by a car, fallen into a coma, been revived in the Lazarus Pit, and is now high—desperately tries to count something on his fingers.)

Time skip.

J: – You replaced me! B: – I would never! J: – I saw you! The kid from Bristol! Was the street rat from Crime Alley not good enough for you!? B (suddenly recalling an image of Jack threatening him with a gun and forbidding him from approaching his son): – But Tim is not my son. J: – …What? B: – He’s Jack’s son. J: – Who the hell is Jack? B: – Tim’s father.

(Awkward pause as they just stare at each other.)

J: – So… you’re not raising this Tim? B (barely holding back his emotions, trying not to cry): – I can’t! Jack threatened that if I ever so much as looked at his son again, he’d shoot me! How dare he!? Who does he think tucked Tim into bed!? Who checked his grades!? Who knows his friends!?

(The audience and reporters assume these are rhetorical questions. But Jason’s brain is only half-functioning today, so…)

J: – Who? B (now tearless and suddenly looking a little embarrassed, trying to count something on his fingers): – Actually, I don’t know. Tim was usually the one putting me to bed whenever I was blackout drunk or stuck at my computer. He definitely keeps a schedule of my mental breakdowns somewhere. He’s the one who knows my best friends and helped me make new ones to build a support network.

(All of Gotham, as well as the growing number of viewers tuning in, is in shock. But Jason is fixated on something else.)

J: – So the kid has parents, and they are the ones raising him, not you. Right? B: – Yes—wait, no. Yes, I’m not raising him. No, his parents aren’t raising him, they’re dead. J (now a little thrown off, because he’s confused): – Then… who is raising him? B: – His uncle. J: – You never mentioned an uncle. B: – Because he doesn’t exist. J: – …What??? B (breaking into tears again): – I KNOOOWWW!!! He doesn’t want to be adopted so badly that he invented a fake guardian! I checked! The guy he brought to court—it was an actor! J (awkwardly patting Bruce’s shoulder): – That’s rough, dude. Time skip.

B: – What do I have to do to make him feel wanted??? J: – Well, I don’t know about that kid, but I would have come back if you had killed the Joker. B (crying even harder): – I tried!!! I shot him multiple times and threw him out of a helicopter into the ocean! He swam baaaack!!! J (tearing up as well): – You really did that, old man? B (reacting to the nickname—lunges at Jason in a hug): – Jay, lad, my son!!!

(Dick walks onto the stage, ready to drag both of them back to the cave and deal with this mess in private. The reporters, realizing they’re about to be kicked out, start shouting their questions.)

You won't fall

When Tim was 13 he admired Robin, Batman and night Gotham. When Tim was 13 Robin died, Batman was filled with rage and Gotham was one step away from falling. When Tim was 13 he was a little bit paranoic(start running cross Gothams roof at noght and you will be too), so before he went to mr. Grayson he had worn a medical mask. When Tim was 13 he didn't wish to become Robin. So, he start looking for another way to help Batman and Gotham. Watching Batman at night, he came to the conclusion that Batman would not raise his hand to a child. When Tim was 13 he become Partridge, bird that can personify the truth of Christ and the wickedness of the devil, depending on the circumstances. He painted the walls of the city with bright colors. And if these walls belonged to houses where drugs were stored, or weapons, or where corrupt politicians or human traffickers lived… Well, it was just between him and Batman. It worked.

----------------------------------

When Tim was 15 he met Red Hood, and after couple of agressive discusion about how age affects who should be on the streets and who shouldn't, Tim realized that Hood is Jason Todd. Getting Batman to believe that Red Hood was his son was a more difficult task than it should have been. And after this task, Tim felt that he done. He was ready to say good bye to Partridge. And start a new chapter of his life in the boarding school that his parents had been advertising for so long. When Tim was 15 and he was watching Gotham News on TV, he realized that he didn't think everything through. "- It's been several months since Partridge showed up in the city. The Rouges have teamed up with the Batfam and are tearing the city apart. Three hours ago, Harley Quinn announced that if no one gives up the bird within two days, she will not hesitate to start looking in other cities. The Justice League discusses interfering with Gotham."

So what should he do now?

[krilati]

Why no?

Sooo, when Jason was sended to Gotham from LOA, he did it on a ship. And there was a moment when the ship was caught in a strong storm. Jason was thrown overboard. He only survived because he was taken by a research vessel. The only problem was that this vessel wasn't going to return to land for 4 months. And their radio was broken in this storm so they can't just call someone to help Jason. In the samr time Jason wasn't going to hurt innocent people who just saved his life. 4 months he was living in the small ship with 4 people. At first he tried to distract himself from rage that was inside by talking with sientiect. Then he tried to piece them off. Then the ship's crew sat Jason down and explained that they had several more Meians to travel and they could not afford to interrupt their research due to infighting. So either Jason says what's going on, or all of his things and he himself suddenly remain unsecured and fly around the deck. They talked and talked, and Jason was in non-stop therapy for 4 months.

The most intresting moment was when the crew didn't tell him to stop his rebelling against B. Instead, they told Jason to "kick your old man" and "my son at your age rebelled against every decision I made, it's normal to go through this." But they told him to not touch a kid, they always called him his little brother, and Jason didn't notice a moment when he stoped called Tim as Replacment. Even after some of the fury died down, his theatricality never went away. With the full approval of the old scientists, a new plan was built to confront Batman.

--------------------- Batman never thought there would come a time when he would be on the run not only from an angry new crime lord but also from almost everyone in Gotham who had a weapon lived there more than a month. - Give me back my son! Look at my eyes and prove that you are more than a bat incapable of constructive dialogue.

Batman just grunted, the bullets licked his heels, so he was unable to stop and look into anyone's eyes.

Bruce didn't understand how it all went so far; at first, no one from his family took the new criminal seriously, who seemed to be obsessed with Robin. They laughed at the joke about Tim being his son and continued to investigate his identity.

But if they laughed, then the people of Gotham listened. And Batman could only think that if the inhabitants of Gotham protected themselves from criminals with the same zeal with which they hunted him, Batman would not be needed at all.

Tim didn't laught too. Some time ago he starts to get such a messege as "Why you didn't eat a dinner?", "Stop spying, you have a school tommorow" or "You twisted your ankle yesterday, go home, baby bird.". He wasn't scared enough to not be interested in the identity of the sender. Moreover, he thinks that this is Red Hood - new crime lord.

The one Bruce had removed him from. And now Tim had a real chance to find out Hood's identity!

So he wasn't going to tell anyone about the messages.

But now, looking at the fresh food in the fridge, Tim couldn't understand why he hadn't realized that if someone knew your phone number, they most likely also knew your identity and address.

[krilati]

Is it worth it?

Dick hurried back to the cave where Damian and Tim were now.

Tim had stayed away from the estate since his triumphant return with the news that Bruce was alive.

But no matter how hard he tried to keep his distance, Dick couldn't help but notice the painful thinness, the extra layers of foundation that most likely hid new scars, and the fear of touch.

And finally, Dick was able to organize a joint patrol, and even united Damian and Tim together! And they barely resisted! Only to learn through the Oracle that Damian was trying to kill Tim again. Through the comm, he ordered them both to return to the cave and hurried to do the same.

Apparently his brothers decided to continue their argument in the Cave, although they took out their comms, probably hoping that he wouldn't hear anything and wouldn't be able to yell at them through the communication devices. He immediately asked Babs to turn on the audio feed from the scene for him.

- Stop lying that you don't understand! - Oh, Damian is furious, good thing he removed all the knives from easily accessible hidden places.

- I saw your hit list! Everyone you considered a threat! You have plans for confronting everyone! And I'm on that list! And Jason and even Father!

Oh, shit, he forgot to tell Baby Bat that this is standard practice. Shit.

- It's not my fault that Dickie tried so hard to paint your world pink and sprinkle everything with glitter that he didn't familiarize you with the standard procedures! - Tim..

- Don't you dare slander Grayson, you dirty liar! If everything was as you say, then there wouldn't be several names missing from your list!

- Everyone was there...

- Have the honor of stopping me in the face of the truth! I've exposed your vile lies! Your list is missing Grayson, at the very least!

- Because if Dick, in his right mind and memory, without being under anyone's control, goes to the dark side, then something is really wrong with the World!

Oh, Tim...

Dick couldn't even imagine that after everything that happened, his little brother still thought so highly of him.

-Screw it, I'm going home, you can tell Dick whatever you want. Dick picked up speed, he had to catch his brother in time.

-Grayson told us to wait. - Dick didn't think he'd ever heard Damian so confused.

-Dick is not my Batman.

No, but as a brother, I've made a lot of mistakes.

------------------------------------------------------- That night, Dick lay in the middle of the bed, he hadn't managed to intercept Tim, and he couldn't stop thinking: "if Dick, ..., goes to the dark side, then something is really wrong with the World!".

Were his brothers really so ready to blindly follow him? Even after all the failures? Being an avenger is an extremely dangerous job, and he argued a lot with B about not allowing children in the field at all. They couldn't help but hear their arguments. So why didn't they stop? Was it possible that the fact that he continues to support this system, even though he disagrees with many points, keeps them in this trap?

No, he shouldn't think so, with all their shortcomings, they have already saved this World many times. He can't be selfish.

"if Dick, ..., goes to the dark side, then something is really wrong with the World!"

Did other young heroes look up to him for approval? "You're Mr. Nightwing, right? I'm such a big fan!" "Were you the first Robin? When I found out you started out as a kid, I knew I could bring something bright to this world too!"

Dick lay there and remembered how many of those kids had been let down by adults. How the older kids had looked down on them, even despised them, how young, innocent souls had died because of it. How he had buried his brother himself. How they had all buried their friends.

Should he really support this obviously broken system?

No, he shouldn't think that, it's just fatigue, he's clearly overwhelmed by the role of Batman, Nightwing, and older brother. When B comes back, everything will be different, everything will be better.

"if Dick, ..., goes to the dark side, then something is really wrong with the World!"

What could go wrong?

'Every Fifteen Minutes' “The Every 15 Minutes Program offers real-life experiences without the real-life risks. This emotionally charged program, entitled Every 15 Minutes, is an event designed to dramatically instill into teenagers the potentially dangerous consequences of drinking alcohol and texting while driving. This powerful program will challenge students to think about drinking, texting while driving, personal safety, and the responsibility of making mature decisions when lives are involved…”

Gotham Academy must take part in an educational program known as "Every Fifteen Minutes". It is designed to teach students the severe, life-changing consequences of drinking and driving.

The program should maintain the prestige of the school and show everyone that the school cares about the future of its students. The only problem is choosing the “victim” of the accident.

You see.. almost all the students at the academy are the children of rich people (whose parents will not allow the child to participate in such a dangerous event) or children who managed to break through with their brains and using them means being accused of favoritism.

Luckly! Their former student, Tim Drake, has been looking for a way to pass the exam and receive a diploma from Gotham Academy for several months. The school council was against it, since there had previously been no precedent for non-students passing exams at the academy.

But since Mr. Drake was emancipated, he did not need permission from his parents and was more likely to agree to participate in the program. In this case, he may be allowed to receive a diploma.

Tim doesn't need a diploma, not at all. But if the receipt of this ill-fated piece of paper will silence several representatives of the board of directors. He is willing to put in the effort to get it.

So if all he needs is to clear his schedule for a couple of hours and pretend to be an accident victim, that is, sleep for a couple of hours with really good earplugs. Of course he said yes. Tim wouldn't have become Red Robin if he missed chances like this.

- No, Tam, I didn’t tell anyone about this, why? It is forbidden to use phones there, and only teachers and students will know about my participation in this program. And they know that this is not true. Doesn't seem like anything could go wrong, right?
