Who: Tim Drake overlyprecocious & Tim Drake mostdangerousbird plus bonus Kon-El (lowercase_el)
What: Tim approaches Tim. Two Tims for the price of one.
When: a few days into April
Where: Central City
Content Warnings: references to Jack and Janet Drake's horrible parenting, mention of homophobia
The first few days, Tim mostly spends information-gathering. This universe doesn't seem to be under an active Reach invasion, so it has that going for it, and limited amounts of other things. What really catches his attention and holds onto it is the evidence of other Bats here - and not just other Bats, another him. There's another Tim Drake on this Earth, and aside from one baffling OurPowers post, he seems to be older than Tim is. (There's also... other things... that Tim finds in his search, things that happened to the Robin that seems right for being the other Tim Drake, things that he's going to quietly fold up and tuck away in the back of his mind and not think about for now except for what's absolutely needed.)
It's not impossible or even incredibly difficult to figure out that the older Tim Drake works at the Descendent, which means the right people are probably supposed to be able to figure it out. And after those first few days of holing up and keeping away from anyone, Tim suits up - not in the Robin suit, because approaching this other self in the Robin suit would feel too much like he's approaching him to claim the identity. He puts on the kind of clothes he used to wear while following Batman and Robin around with his camera instead - dark, comfortable clothes, easy to maneuver and blend into the shadows in.
Following the other Tim as he leaves the Descendant quickly turns into a game of I know you know I know, and it's pretty easy to recognize when the other Tim makes a detour intended for confronting his tail. Since letting his older self know that he's here is the point of tailing him in the first place, Tim willingly follows him in.
