Ever since Tim worked out (a) worked out Batman and Robin's identity and (b) realized that she could sneak out of the house at night without anyone noticing, she has a system. She keeps a bag packed with her camera, a bottle of water, and some snacks in case she gets hungry, and she has a set of dark-colored clothes, a nice warm jacket and shoes with a lot of grip for running around Gotham. When she gets to go out depends on who's at home with her that night. Tonight is really easy, because her parents are in the city but at a big party, and usually they go right to bed when they get home without checking on her.

She's gotten really good at analyzing patrol patterns based on current crime rates and past patrol routes. Bruce Wayne is supposed to be at the party tonight, so she heads to one of the most likely places Robin is going to go to tonight.

It's colder than she expected tonight, but that's okay. Tim finds herself a snug, semi-hidden place on a fire escape and settles in with her legs pulled up to her chest for warmth. All she has to do now is wait.

"Before you go... Do you get to come out and take pictures a lot? Do your parents ever know?" he asks thoughtfully, he knows he's seen her a few times now, he can't help but wonder how often she's left so unattended. He didn't really believe there was actually someone in there.

He hesitates, not sure how to proceed. He wants to push more, get more information and find out just how neglected she is. She seems perfectly well-adjusted but he still can't help but worry.

"...Tim, I'm really worried you're going to get hurt, and if you're out and about and you get hurt your parents aren't going to know about it, so it's really dangerous," he explains to her, as seriously as possible, "If I promise to come visit you, can you promise not to come looking for us again?" This way, he could keep an eye on her situation.

"I'll swing by and visit you next week, okay?" he says, holding out his little finger to her "Pinky promise?"

He toys with the idea of giving her something, but there's very little he carries that isn't a weapon of some kind, and he doesn't want to give her anything that might be studied, just in case she really isn't just doing this for fun.

After a moment's thinking about it, he grins.

"And we can take a picture together before you go, okay?"

He links their pinky fingers together for the promise and then shuffles round so he's closer to her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

"Okay, you want to take it?"

He leans in close so the camera definitely gets them both, flashing a grin.

"You are welcome. I'll see you soon, okay?" he gives her a quick hug before letting her go, staying to watch until she gets inside.

The fight is unexpectedly quick, the bad guys seem more inclined to run away rather than actually fight, which is not completely rare but still a little unusual, and once it's over there's a brief discussion about what else they might be planning - until Dick spots a familiar huddled figure and frowns, making excuses with Batman about looking for clues (and hopefully it'll keep the older man busy for long enough that he can find out why Tim's actually here, but he has to admit that before long the jig will probably be up). Once Bruce has moved off, Dick heads over to Tim's hiding spot.

"I thought we had a deal?"

"That's still dangerous, Tim," he says softly, even though he had to admit she hadn't actually broken the terms of their agreement. He takes the camera and flicks through the pictures as he speaks "Especially if you're going out on your own, you could..." he trails off on finding the video, glancing up at her before hitting play.

He watches a few seconds of it and then realises this is too important to keep avoiding spilling their little secret.

"...Batman? You should probably come see this..." he calls

When Batman came over, it was obvious for a moment that he thought Dick was talking about Tim's presence, which is probably why he frowned particularly deeply when Dick practically ignored Tim and pushed the camera towards him. Dick tried to look innocent for as long as possible, but Batman clearly wasn't having it.

Bruce lifted a hand, beckoning Dick to follow him, before turning and stalking a little way away. Wincing, Dick followed him and there was an obvious whispered argument happening. Neither of them raised their voices enough for Tim to catch anything of what they're saying, but it was clear that Dick was in a lot of trouble. He waved the camera at Batman insistently, trying to get him to focus on the important thing, and finally the older man took it and watched the video. A few minutes later, Dick returned and crouched down in front of Tim.

"Hey...so... you really can't come out and do this anymore, okay? And Batman wants to know a bit more information so he can check up on you, because we're worried about you..." and he knows she probably doesn't want to get her parents in trouble, but there isn't really any avoiding it now "but the video is really good, okay, and it's really helpful, so we're pleased with that."

"It's not about getting in the way," he tells her as gently as possible "It's about you, remember? We don't want you to get hurt... " he also can't deny he's a little glad Bruce is going to get her parents looked into, because she is out and about far too often for them to be looking after her properly.

Dick's not the kind of kid who'd just wash his hands of the whole thing and assume it was done with, he's relieved to see no sign of Tim on their next couple of patrols, but he liked Tim, he thought she was adorable. Besides, they had a deal, and he didn't want her heading out again because it had been a while since he visited. Plus he just sort of wanted to check up on her, Batman speech or not, he didn't trust that she would be okay and properly supervised now without seeing it for himself.

So the next chance he got between patrols, he headed over to the apartment, dropping himself down from the roof. He's glad to find the window already open and swings himself in side, rolling onto the carpet and jumping to his feet with a little flourish intended to make her laugh.

"hey," he gives her a little grin, reaching out to ruffle her hair reassuringly.

"Don't look so worried Timmy, I'm just dropping by to say hello."

"Oh.." he glances towards the door, frowning slightly, then lowers his voice to a whisper and leans in conspiratorially "How come, did you get into trouble?"

"Oh dear, did you get grounded?" he asks gently, plonking himself down on her floor cross-legged. He doesn't realise right away that it's because of them "What happened?"
