Summary
Tim Drake is starting his first year at Gotham academy as a 7th grader. He's 10 years old, and excited to finally stay in Gotham all year long rather than 4-ish months out of the year. He's excited to not have to go to boarding school and be able to follow the Bats almost every night.
None of these changes when he finds a radio in a box of electronical goodies. But Tim does have a brilliant idea to help the people of Gotham without putting himself in a questionable amount of danger.
Tim could start a radio reports station. He could compile information and thrice weekly report on it like a podcast. Gothamites could tune in to listen to his informational reports, it would be great and he could help people.
Things complicate when he discovers a trafficking ring in the Narrows being run by Black Mask. He obviously reports on it and investigates to learn more information.
But he has to do so while slowly getting on the radar of Black Mask, other criminals, and the Bats. And Jason Todd at school trying to befriend the tiny 10-year-old 7th grader and decides to start driving him to and from school every day.
But at least he's Rook now and can help people.

Summary
It was hard to open his eyes. His eyelids, his body…he was so heavy.
But he could feel something brushing against his face. Something hot and humid. And the smell, he—he knew that—
No. No—nonononono—He was dead. He was dead, Tim had killed him. He'd seen his body, Bruce had taken care of it, turned it to ash.
He forced his eyes open and—
If he could move he would have flinched.
Inches from his face, plaque encrusted, yellowed teeth, acid green eyes, fetid breath against Tim's skin—rot and cigarettes and shit.
"Good morning, son," the Joker crooned. "Did you miss Daddy?"

Summary
Tim never learned how to swim.
Being slung over Red Hood’s shoulder like a sack of potatoes as the crime lord walked toward the Gotham docks seemed like a good time to learn, though.

Summary
If Bruce wasn't so busy investigating the Red Hood, he might have realised that, while Jack Drake is in a coma and Tim is grounded from patrol, Drake Industries goes broke. Overnight, the Drakes lose everything, leaving Tim without a cent to his name.
Jason, meanwhile, cannot believe that the Bats haven't noticed yet that something is obviously wrong with the Replacement.
*
It’s weird, being poor. At the moment, Tim has precisely eleven dollars to his name. Drake Industries, gone. Their assets, gone. His trust fund, being used to pay for his father’s hospital bills. The house is gone, too. That's okay. Tim is okay. Sometimes, though, he lies awake at night, and he can’t help but wonder. Does Bruce know? He definitely doesn’t, obviously. But, does he?

Summary
Jason gets it, gets the space between them, the way Red Robin keeps his distance. Of all the ways Jason fucked up when he first got back to Gotham, Pit-mad, green-tinted, and chock-full of Talia’s half-truths, breaking into the Tower and nearly killing a kid is the one he regrets the most. Dick or B probably would say something pointed about regretting committing multiple homicides and putting heads in duffel bags, but Jason doesn’t regret any of those deaths one bit. Maybe he’d choose a different duffel bag, but that’s about it.
OR
The one where Oracle calls Red Hood and Red Robin in to deal with a Crane-shaped incident at the docks, a brand new strain of fear toxin is released, and Jason is horrified to discover that he’s NOT Tim’s worst fear.
