Summary
The wind whips around, rapid, and sharp with sand and grit.
Tim can’t see—there’s so much dust trapped between his eyelids that he can hardly tell if they’re even closed or not. It burns and stings, it fills his lungs, and all he can think about is his body, buried under a new dune of sand, and his family, so many miles away, not even thinking to look for him there.And just as suddenly, the sun and sand and howling winds are gone.
-----
In which the universe takes pity on Tim, just once, if it even was the universe at all.

Summary
The thing is, he should probably cancel.
Tim knows that.
His brain's a little swimmy, the way it always gets when he's running a high fever, and he hasn't been able to swallow enough to reach the amount of caffeine needed for his usual levels of faking it.
But it isn't very often that Dick asks for his help, anymore.

Summary
He spots the robin on a tree branch maybe thirty feet away, and Tim, grinning, goes to adjust the settings on the binoculars.
It's exactly then that he realizes what's behind the bird.
Because from here, on the third story and at just this angle, there's no treeline to block his view. Behind the little robin singing on its branch, he can see the Wayne family manor, clear as anything, close enough that it almost feels like he could reach out and touch it. One of the windows on the downstairs floor is open, and it's draped with light curtains that float softly in the breeze. A moment later, a different sort of Robin bounds into view, sans mask, grin wide and bright.
Tim flinches back as though burned.
