Tim Drake has juvenile arthritis.

It wasn’t all that surprising as most woman in his family got either when they were around 15 or around 40 or so, and a few men in his line had it too.

He assumed that his sore ankles and knees were from skating, thinking it was sprains and twisting that cause the occasional swelling and pain.

It got worse when he started as Robin but thinking Bruce we see it as a weakness and make him stop, he kept it to himself and altered his suit to have more support.

It word out fine for a while, he was able to manage it pretty well even as he didn’t have a proper diagnosis. He knew his families history and knew in the back of his mind that it was most likely JA but he refused to admit to having such a big thing to hold him back.

A few times on patrol some of his joints and even muscles would tense badly and he knew it was only a matter of time before Joe wrist locked while he was grappling but that didn’t stop him.

Unfortunately for him, Alfred himself had arthritis in his left hand due to damage he faced in combat that wasn’t treated properly and he noticed the sighs over time. The butler considered telling Bruce but spoke to Tim privately first and after the young man agreed to see a doctor for it properly if that Alfred wouldn’t say anything, he deemed it better to respect the others choice.

Until Tim lost his spleen and Alfred knew damn well that his immune system was going to give him more and more hell.

Alfred felt bad at first, not wanting to ruin the beautiful reunion, but after a couple of days of Bruce being back he spoke to the master of the house. He explained that Tim wasn’t keeping secrets from Bruce for any reason other than he wanted to be strong enough for his mentor and was afraid to admit a weakness.

Bruce was absolutely heartbroken. His time trapped away from his family had done two things, the first being that he became far more protective of his children and untrusting to everyone outside of it, even people he was okay with previously.

Secondly, he had a lot of time to reflect on how his own trauma responses had harmed his relationships. His anger, his paranoia, his fears, it all caused him to be less than adequate as a parent. He was a good mentor, but only in how he taught skill.

So, to learn that the entire time he was rather aggressively training a child with a chronic autoimmune disease that made his body a prison of tension, pain and inflamed joints. And that same child now was missing a spleen so his immune defences were effectively just suggestions for anything harmful to him.

He had gone straight to Tim and while he wanted to hold his child gently and cradle him, the sixteen-no, seventeen now- year old was clever and would notice him being careful with him straight away. Instead he move his arms to be around his sons torso and picked him up like that, brining a hand to cup the back of his heads and distantly hearing his custom made Martian Manhunter slippers fall to the ground.

Bruce was on the verge of putting his strategies in place to stop crying but he stopped himself and instead let his tears fall, “I-I won’t say I wouldn’t have done exactly what you thought I would, but I’m less of a fool now, Chum. Let me help you with your arthritis. Please, I beg you.”

Tim didn’t cry but he did let go.

He slummed into his dad’s arms and confessed that he was terrified. It was already so hard to live the life he did with such a disability, but to know that now he had to be extra careful when he had swelling and aches?

Bruce held him and to Tim’s surprise promised to make sure that Damian would understand that this doesn’t mean Tim will no longer be a vigilante, that he’d work to actually educate and help his blood son understand.

Tim had cried then, because while he still wanted to smack the kid around again, he knew that all Damian needed was for someone to teach him without it being ‘here’s what America’s like’ and more ‘here’s what the world is like when you aren’t an assassin’.

And the fact he was scared that Damian would use it against him was always present even fi he had managed to hide it from the child who figured out weaknesses quicker than chess masters figured out their first move.

Bruce had asked him if he was sore then and Tim had shyly revealed his angry looking knee. It was red and round and Tim shrugged and said it wasn’t too bad.

Bruce wanted to cry but instead he smiled at his son and thanked him more sincerely than he ever had before.

For the fun of the game, I think pre-reveal Red Hood, should sneak inside the Wayne Manor, take books from the library, and circle with a red pen specific words and letters, so they would combine in creepy and spooky messages.

Imagine, you are Tim Drake, trying to get distracted from the case by reading a random book from the library, but then you notice the pattern, and suddenly, the book has some cryptic ass message with the "please, dad, save my soul, I am being tortured and cannot rest, until the clown dies. Your Jason" lines in it. I would honestly just leave this job.

"Get your hug, Tim" part 2

Always finding more excuses to shower Tim with love.

Funniest part about Robin Jason canonically going to heaven is that it implies either 1) Jason didn’t kill Felipe and Bruce completely blew up their relationship for no reason or 2) you’re allowed in heaven after killing someone as long as that someone really deserved it, which would then imply that heaven itself is on Jason’s side in the Jason vs Bruce conflict.

Superman (2025) + texts posts

In Young Justice #37, the team gets hooked up to Granny Goodness’ freaky mind control tech and they all have to watch their worst fears/nightmares play over and over on a loop. Granny’s goal is to do this over and over, eventually breaking their spirits and brainwashing them into becoming her soldiers.

Mostly for my own future reference, here’s what everyone sees when they’re hooked up to the machines:

Tim - Tim’s nightmare scenario is being captured by Granny Goodness and being forced to watch Cassie and Kon be horrifically executed right in front of him. We don’t see Anita, Cissie, Secret, or Bart in this scene, but it’s safe to assume Tim’s nightmare/vision includes them dying too. This arc as a whole is very focused on his insecurity as a leader and his fear of failing the team.

Kon - We don’t get to actually see Kon’s nightmare/vision, but the dialogue makes it pretty clear he’s reliving Tana’s death. (Tana Moon, for anyone unfamiliar with Superboy (1994), is Kon’s girlfriend who was killed in front of him).

Cassie - Again, we don’t actually get to see what Cassie sees. But from the dialogue we can assume she’s watching her mother be killed and/or tortured.

Bart - Bart keeps seeing himself die over and over again. Yikes. According to the editors note this is a reference to events in his solo series, which I unfortunately have not read.

Anita - Anita’s nightmare/vision is her father burning to death while Granny’s parademons hold her back, forcing her to watch him suffer. Right before we see this, Granny Goodness’ lackey mentions they just turned up the “emotional charge” on Anita’s machine. Because of this, the version of the vision we see also includes Anita’s dad very angrily blaming her for his imminent death and calling her a curse/jinx/burden. Rather than breaking Anita’s spirit, this pisses her off so much she tries to teleport over to him to kick his ass, accidentally freeing herself from Granny’s machine in the process. In summary, I fucking love Anita Fite.

Cissie - Unfortunately, we don’t get to see any of Cissie’s vision, or hear her muttering while she’s hooked up to the machine like Cassie and Kon did. If she mentions her vision in a later issue, I’ll edit this post to add it.

Secret - Darkseid has taken a special interest in Secret, so she’s spared from this mind fuck torture session. Instead, she’s in Darkseid’s throne room eating ice cream during this scene. No, I am not kidding.

Notes

It’s really interesting how the visions vary from character to character. Kon and Bart are both reliving real memories of events they lived through. Cassie seems to be living some recurring nightmare about her mom being in danger. Tim’s vision is the most realistic, it’s literally the worst case scenario for their current situation. I’d argue Anita’s is pretty close to reality too—we see parademons in her vision, so it clearly takes place on Apokolips, and since her dad is a DEO agent it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he’d show up on this mission.

Granny mentions Anita and Tim are the two members of the team most resistant to the torture. I wonder if their visions being more believable is a result of the settings on their machines being stronger.
