Summary
Batman rescues the Runaway Talon (the little acrobat he was too late to save) and the street kid he has befriended.
Or... Well. That is what Bruce means to do. Given Batman's typical communication skills and the learned reactions of two traumatized kids collide... It shouldn't be surprising it turned out this way.

Summary
Talons of the Court do not do well in the cold. Which is fine for the way they normally operate. The Court knows to adjust for that, after all.
But when the Talon in question is a runaway, the Court long-destroyed, and with only his newly adopted owlet/little brother to keep him company...
In other words, Talon!Dick overestimates the insulation in his and Jason's hideout. Add in a snowstorm at the worst moment... No one has a good time.

Summary
Dick stops. Not the way he does when he doesn’t have the right words, but the way he does when he is trying to decide whether or not to talk.
Then, slowly, unmistakably, the boy indicates himself. “Broken. Wrong.”
Bruce blanches..........................
Talon's first time helping to contain an Arkham breakout leads to a complicated conversation. One that Bruce feels completely unequipped to handle.

Summary
There are very few things that can shut down a talon - cold being one of them. And cryosleep can seem pretty much indistinguishable from death... Yeas, Dick should probably have told his team about that particular bit of Talon trivia. Or at least told them he was a talon, to begin with.
The Titans - especially Roy and Wally - have a very bad time.

Summary
Robin is not supposed to kill.
Jason knows it has to be so. He knows why it has to be so. But if he got his hands on Two Face right now, none of the reasons Bruce explained to him so many times over would count.
Not now. Not after what that bastard did to Dick.
