This story borrows some Bat-characters for not-for profit
use from DC Comics. The story iself belongs to me. This story
is likely to disturb the sensitive and the innocent.

This and other terrible things that I've done to
various X- and Bat-People are archived at the website
of Luba:

Many thanks to Luba K and Tina S for their editorial
assistance in hunting down typos and correcting
various misunderstandings about genetics, female human
biology, and arithmetic.

This story is set in the near Bat-future, as Tim Drake
(Robin III) is nearing the end of his time as a student of
the prestigious Brentwood School for Boys. Tim's father sent
him to Brentwood, shortly after learning that Tim's 26 year
old stepmother Dana was pregnant with her first child Dylan.
He now has a private room (because he's a senior), and a
butler (Alfred) on campus who can run interference for him
from time to time. He has a friend, Buzz Cohen, who lives
on the floor below and who hasn't really been given a
personality yet by the writers.

In his spare time, Tim helps Bruce Wayne (The Batman) with
the usual Bat-things (entrapping criminals, catching them in
the act, beating the crap out of them, leaving them tied up
and/or unconscious for the cops). After the senseless
killing of Bruce's parents, etc, etc.

Since Tim doesn't have a lot of spare time, part of his
duties have been taken over by Bruce's other apprentice,
Tim's ex-girlfriend Stephanie Brown (The Spoiler). Stephanie
was the daughter of the Cluemaster, a murderous and
not-terribly-successful thug. Stephanie won Tim away from
his first love, the Russian immigrant Ariana Dzerchekno, by
forcing her way into his hidden world. It didn't work out.
Tim and Stephanie are on speaking terms, but do not patrol
together. Ever.

Bruce has another assistant, Cassandra Cain (The Batgirl).
Cassandra was raised by a professional assassin to be the
perfect killer. She achieved superhuman speed and
coordination in fighting at the expense of her ability to
speak, which remained non-existent until shortly after she
arrived in Gotham City. From birth until the age of 16 she
knew none but the most fleeting human contact with anyone
other than her father. Barbara Gordon (The Oracle) and Bruce
trust her, but the kids in Young Justice (including Tim)
think that she's seriously fucked in the head.

Young Justice includes Bart Allen (Impulse), Kon El
(Superboy), Cassandra Sandsberg (Wonder Girl), Cissie
King-Jones (the former Arrowette), and The Secret (real
name unknown). They're just visiting in this one.
