Wait, does anyone know of a fic from Dick's POV that walks through that scene from Red Robin #12 where Tim falls from the building, and Dick swoops in and catches him? I suddenly have a dire need to read about Dick clutching Tim tightly to his chest as he sinks to the floor of the rooftop. His hands shake, and even though everything is muffled from the pounding in his ears, he feels like he can make out a crowd of people screaming. His muscles tense further when the scent of copper and buttery popcorn penetrates the air around him, and he instinctively drops his head until he can smell Tim's shampoo instead.

And he's just kind of in and out of a flashback for a few moments, and it isn't until his comm sounds off in his ear that he jerks back to the present fully.

Because I need that.

This is the moment when Tim graduated from Robin. He stepped up and into the Big Leagues in Red Robin #12, taking on Ra's al Gul.

Not only did Tim stand up to Ra's, he beat him at his own game. For me, this was the highlight of the entire run of Red Robin. It paved the way for Tim to move into a more mature role within the Batfamily. DC unfortunately (but not unexpectedly) wasted it by destroying Tim in the New-52, but for one shining moment Tim proved to Ra's and everyone else that he was a force to be reckoned with.

Despite the DC universe going certifiably insane, Tim Drake is still the Most Dangerous Teenager in Tights on the planet!
