A different type of family

Summary:

Tim never really understood what a real family felt like. The Wayne's were kind enough to adopt him but he had to earn his place. He didn't just belong. Like Damian loved to point out, he was just a placeholder. THE REPLACEMENT.

The Drake's were never family but blood relations. And with the Drake blood came a secret that his parents never got to tell him. The day he turned 18 was the day he was attacked by the widower. It was also the day that the last Drake came into his inheritance.

What is real and what is not? Is there still a way back home when Gotham does not exist anymore? Is he Percy Weasley or did he take his place?

Notes:

My first time writing a story and a synopsis. It doesn't really make sense but will try to edit it in the future. I have a basic idea in mind and nothing else. Will make the story as I go.

Never read the comics or watched the movies. Been reading fanfics for a while now and wanted to get my idea out. The character design of this Tim may not be similar to the comics.

(See the end of the work for other works inspired by this one.)

Chapter 1

Chapter Text

Since young there's was only one thing he yearned for and that was to spend time with his parents. He wanted to make them happy and make them smile. He wanted to be praised and giving candy when he did a good job. He wanted to be punished when he broke something.

What he got was a book filled with rules to follow, cold glances and an empty mansion. Maybe that's why he grew up the way he did. Why he hated it when he disappointed someone. Why he didn't want to leave the Wayne's. 

I know Bruce is alive and I have proof but no time. The mail I wrote will be sent to the JL automatically in a few hours. Maybe if the information is from an anonymous source, they will be more willing to listen. 

Sorry Bruce. I won't be able to bring you back.
