Summary
‘What’s that about?’ Conner asked, softly.
‘My dad doesn’t like me being away from home,’ said Tim, twisting his hoodie strings round his fingers, ‘like, he really doesn’t like it.’After Deathstroke gives Tim two black eyes and a broken nose, he can't go back to his dad's, so he takes up Conner's offer of spending a few days on the farm. But now Tim has to confront everything he's been running from -- his girlfriend back home, the sheer exhaustion of his double life, his confusing feelings about Conner.
Tim's dad won't stop calling Tim, trying to get him to come home. Maybe Tim can't keep making excuses forever.

Summary
It should’ve been scary, being thrown a year and a half back in time with no explanation, but Tim didn’t feel scared. He was in the barn with Bart and it was warm – it had been a warm spring that year, he remembered – and nothing bad had happened yet. If it was a dream, it was a good one.
Seventeen-year-old Tim Drake will stop at nothing to find Bruce, but his quest is put on hold when he wakes up in the past. He’s sixteen years old again, in a blissful sanctuary from everything that keeps him awake at night. Here, his friends are still alive, and so is his father. And so is Conner, who especially sticks in Tim’s mind: their tumultuous, ambiguous relationship came to an abrupt end when Conner died, and Tim still wishes he’d found the courage to tell Conner how he felt.
But Bruce is absent from the past, too – if this really is the past. To find him, Tim knows he needs to find a way back to the present. But that means giving everything up for a second time, when he’s lost so much already.
