I’m holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night by Violettavonviolet

Summary
Tim always carried pepper spray with him — always. Living in a city like Gotham, that was practically a given.
It was especially necessary when one was ten years old and currently sneaking around in the shadows of the night.
Something touched his shoulder, and on reflex, Tim pulls the trigger, before he can catch sight of green pixie boots.
Oh no!
“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry Mister Robin, Sir! Are you all right?”
“What the fu- I mean frick, kid?”
—
It’s almost eerie how much these nights mirror each other. Only this time Tim’s pepper spray is joined by a knife.
But it’s not Robin he attacks this time, it’s a weird guy in a red helmet, and the spray can do nothing against that!
Tim is sure he’s never seen helmet-guy before, so why does he know Tim’s name and insists on helping him out?
Or: Tim goes out at night to take photos of the Bat’s. Twice, he meets Jason. Only once, is it Robin. But Jason’s suddenly two feet taller and wearing a red helmet. Something’s clearly wrong here.

Summary
Athena thought tasking her daughter with keeping a dying woman alive until help arrived would be the hardest part of her day, even while heading into the formerly flooded areas of Santa Monica. That is, until she finds Christopher Diaz in the arms of a stranger, asking her if she has found Buck.
Eddie kept pushing through his exhaustion, caused by hours of work in the chaos left behind by the force of the wave, by reminding himself that his son and his best friend were safe at home, even if he hadn't reached them the two times he had tried to call Buck. Until he finds Christopher among a group of survivors.

In the wake of a catastrophic loss, it's the path Jason sets that Tim follows back to safety.

Summary
Tim always knew it was a possibility that he might die early. He’s not exactly made his peace with it, but he’s willing to adapt, especially if this is what it takes to help Jason get over his weird vendetta and reunite the Wayne family again. It's called taking one for the team.
Now all Tim needs to do is figure out how to best fake his own death.
