Migration
Red Robin was known to be a migratory bird. He spend the summer and the spring season in Gotham but once the temperature drop to 55 degrees, he was in San Francisco.
Gotham was naturally cold. It's chilled air will bite your skin no matter what time of the year it is, but it was more tolerable suring mid-spring to mid-autumn.
But during winter, it is when it bites the hardest. Timothy knows it from his experience. His simple oversized hoodies can't keep him cold if he was outside of his house. His Robin uniform was not that well cold resistant. His Red Robin uniform doesn't have enough insulation for heating.
So he migrates like a bird, travelling to one place when the trees began to lose it's leaves and come back when it starts blooming again.
No one knows why, but both cities are fine having him in almost Persephone way of visiting and protecting the city. Not even the batfam knows the exact reason why Tim was choosing to spend the colder seasons in California, but just deduce that he might really is fond of warmer climate, or wanted to spend equal time with his friends and grow his career as a new hero.
The citizens of San Francisco and Gotham are convinced that Red Robin is a part migratory bird that's why he needs to switch cities between colder seasons and warmer seasons.
But no.
Tim is just more susceptible to cold because of his lack of spleen. But he will never tell anyone about that because that is just nothing, why he would tell them when they didn't asked first right?
Janet's prime rule is don't talk unless you are spoken to. And maybe he is taking advantage of his mother's teaching so he wouldn't have to explain himself to those jerks.
After all, he is nothing but a placeholder, something that doesn't have any value, right?
