all that's done and gone and passed tonight (mix of open and closed)
Who: Tim Drake overlyprecocious and friends
What: Tim is Coping and it's fine
When: late January, after the Hunger Games mostly
Where: Central City mostly. and Sky High.
Content Warnings: a little trauma related to being kidnapped into space by aliens (twice!! thanks, canon), a lot of anxiety, some unhealthy coping mechanisms like food hoarding and vigilantism
It's not like Tim is traumatized by his experience in the survival games. If anything, he's relieved that he was snagged by the aliens and not, say, a hapless seven-year-old. He has survival training, he has a magic restocking utility belt, he has family he was able to meet up with and work with. It was easy for him, comparatively speaking. It just - being kidnapped to space made him even more aware of the metaphorical sword of Damocles already hanging over his head whenever a Confluence finally brings him back home again. There's an extra cruel sting to being reminded that he's not even safe from being randomly yanked from his home and sent back into danger outside of Confluences.
Being more active as Robin is a reasonable precaution. He was already caught off guard once, and thankfully he at least had a minimum of supplies on him and the utility belt even if he didn't have the benefit of the full Robin suit. What he has on him here won't do him much good when he's yanked back home, but at least he's more prepared for anything that happens in this reality when he's suited up.

[ Nico shoves his hands into his coat pockets and looks the other way for a second, through the living room to the door. Then back at Tim, who looks smaller out of his supersuit. ]
When Jason gets back, I’m gonna go. I don’t want to leave without the Puff or leave you alone.
[ They should’ve taken Tim to a doctor. Guess they couldn’t without explaining how he got heard. ]
Do you need anything? I can raid the fridge.
no subject
[It’s pretty obvious that Nico is - not exactly convinced that Tim is okay. He sighs.] - I really am all right. It hurt, but the armor’s good at keeping me safe. And I’m more, I guess, durable than average? It’s one of my powers.
Jason would’ve called Dick or the older brother with healing powers if he thought it was that bad.
You don’t have to leave, either.
no subject
[ It's not quite a promise to stay, but it's a reason. Tim can have that much, so he doesn't think it's his fault. It's probably Nico's. ]
no subject
[Then, quieter:] Jason would probably feel better if he knows you're around tonight. Dick could come pick me up if you don't want me here.
no subject
I'll keep an eye on you until breakfast. We can watch a movie. Everyone seems to love getting hot takes on things Nico doesn't know.
no subject
[They've had a really weird night. And Tim's not really totally sure how he feels, but he doesn't think Nico leaving will help.]
That sounds good.
