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.

[ Well, yes, Tim is a person and therefore could be the one to go with him, but he hadn't been expecting that outcome. He figured Tim would want to take Dickie or friends with him.
He looks up from what he's working on. ]
I can, but then I'm going to see everything you see, and we're going to call dibs on the same space.

You want me to dig up flashlights and snacks for them?

[He's still being helpful and offering things! Which Tim appreciates, he does.] I'll probably go with Nico or Dylan, then.
