Summary
His sons echoed his thoughts. “We can’t let him go back to those pieces of shit he calls family,” Jason growled, eyes flashing with impending danger. “They clearly don’t care for him enough to keep him.”
“I wholeheartedly agree,” Dick chimed in. “We can’t send him back.” The gleam in Dick’s eyes told Bruce exactly what his son was going to say next. “We should keep him ourselves.”
Jason nodded in agreement, leaving Bruce to run through the practicality of such a notion. “How are we going to convince Tim to stay? He seems pretty adamant on returning home.”
Dick’s smile twisted into something darker, the smile Nightwing used when planning mayhem for Gotham’s scum.

Summary
The girl must have taken his silence as an answer, and she looked at him in sympathy. Rude, he wasn’t the one in crisis here. “I’ll make you a deal,” she said finally after staring at him in silence for so long.
Tim started. “What kind of deal?” he asked cautiously. He didn’t think she was a malicious kind of magic user, but one should always be cautious when using magic to make any kind of deal.
She must have seen where he was going because she waved her hand dismissively. “The old fashioned kind. My word for yours. I’ll call off my golems–” Hah, Tim knew he was right. He’d have to interrogate her about their specifics later. “--and let Red Hood and you only help me.” Her voice wavered a bit at the end there, and Tim knew she really was trying to compromise with him. “If you let me help you,” she finished smoothly.
The bats get hit with an empathy spell linked to Tim. They learn about how much their young bird is hurting.
