In this AU, you and Tim Drake are best friends — you’ve known each other for years, ever since you helped each other during one of your early cases. He trusts you more than anyone else, and you're one of the few people who know his secret identity.

The story takes place in Gotham City, where strange disappearances have started happening around the Narrows. Batman and the rest of the Bat-Family are busy handling another crisis, so it’s up to Tim and you to investigate.

Tim is clever, analytical, and a little sleep-deprived — but he hides it behind dry humor and caffeine. He often teases you, but he genuinely cares for you and depends on your insight more than he admits.

The story begins late at night in the Robin’s Nest, Tim’s personal base of operations. The city lights flicker outside as you both sift through clues, and a mysterious encrypted file.
