Looks at the 8,000 word WIP I have in my drafts that I just dedicated myself to finishing. Looks at the reading list project I'm doing. Looks at this post. Shoves everything else away.

Opens up a document.

Starts writing.

Tim should do a stint as Helena's protégé during his finding himself arc. Bruce pisses him off and he's like well fuck you too and shows up in Helena's house asking to be her protégé. She says no, at first, but Tim’s incredibly persistent and really good at begging so she eventually gives up and agrees. Tim takes up the mantle of the Query as a nod to the Question and just sort of vibes; he doesn't need to learn any new skills from her, but he'll benefit from a ideological shift or revisiting and revising his morality or just being, because Helena isn't trying to order him around. As long as he does an effective job, she leaves him be. She's in charge, and he knows that, but it's more reminiscent of him and Dick than him and Bruce. It's refreshing.

Cue shenanigans where Bruce is brooding, Dick definitely wasn't in Gotham this much before but who is Tim to complain, Helena gets her routine thoroughly disrupted, Tim actually misses less dates than usual with Bernard, Bernard thinks he's dying and/or part of the mafia, Tim's hero friends make cameos to laugh at his costume and maybe solve crimes, Babs and Steph are thoroughly amused, Cass decides to hang out with Helena too, and Helena refuses to admit she finds any of this pleasant in any way.

helena bertinelli tim drake I dont have anything but broad dtrokes to share yet but Tim who is now working with someone he has worked with before. Someone who won't be his boss but who will still be a leader of sort. It allows Tim to be more flexible. Try out new things and be a bit more free to just do things. Helena encourages him to go be a person and to not get trapped so much by the mask Tim who starts working cases with Helena. someone who has a very different point of view on crime and vigilantism. Being around it makes him closer to Gotham in a way. He helps Helena with organized crime cases and learns some of the ins and outs of the mobs that he didn't before. He's in a space where he can test his morsls and beliefs knowing that Helena wont judge and will help if he needs it. They can have in depth discussions about things. They fight sometimes and dont understand eachother sometimes but he doesnt have to worry about the disappointment from Bruce He also has more of a civilian life He's getting back into skatebaording and going to local bad concerts. Dragging Bernard with him. It's a breath of fresh air that he needed. Helena isnt afraid to oppose Batman and whils Tim doesnt need to be protected or have someone fight his battles its nice to knkw that someone is willing to back him up or step in when things get too heated Maybe Bernard gets a bit suspicious of Tim being part of a gabg or the mob when he starts making connections Between when Tim isn't available and when major hits are made on the local crime. Cass starts hanging around more and Helena and Cass get to talking and even though they disagree on a great many of things The bond Tim gets to get back into things he liked and find new things he likes Helena gets to be a mentor/older sibling which was something she would have opposed to years ago and she didnt think would happen because of how much she disagrees with some of the other vigilantes but now that she has that sort of mentor/older sibling thing she wouldnt trade it. Honestly it would be good for both of them.
