Display Name: Tim Drake
Notes: During the age swap event

[ There’s a spikey-haired child who has clearly already discovered Dep Gel. He’s sitting in a front of a grungy brick wall with badly chipping paint that shows the strata of different paint layers. Looks like an alley, with a thin line of corrugated metal just visible behind the boy.

Clever eyes would recognize that he’s sitting on the closed lid of a dumpster. It doesn’t look like a place for a boy of somewhere between 8 and a very small 10.

My name’s Tim Drake, and I’m in Central City. I’m not supposed to be.

I hope I’ve gotten this working. I guess it’s supposed to be mine? The account has my name, but that’s not right. You aren’t supposed to use real information on social media, especially when you’re a kid, because it can lead to abductions.

[ Tim glances around, like he’s expecting someone to come bursting in now that he’s said that outloud. ]

And I think I’ve been abducted?

[ He picks at t-shirt and leather jacket that he’s absolutely swimming in. ]

They changed my clothes.

[ Frowning, he looks confused at that, and as if he’s run out of things to say here. ]

You’re not supposed to give personal details online. I did, but I think the rules are different when you’ve been kidnapped? I’m not going to say my parents names or address, but I can’t walk home.

It isn't the safest place, for sure.

Unfortunately, I don't know what is. Central's as bad as Gotham.

Imagine a Gotham without Batman and Robin, then. I don't think Central's ever had a city-wide protector, at least not one who was more interested in protecting than in looking nice.

No Flash, and this place's version of the Justice League leaves a lot to be desired.

[She bites her lip.]

They have a system set up for new arrivals, including kids, but- they expect you to follow their rules, which include basically joining one of their guilds, even if you're a kid. I don't know about shelters in general.
