Batfam X Reader

Lazarus Effect (Tim)

This is two requests as one. The start is the request for a angst with Tim and his girlfriend and the end is a request for Tim getting her back. This will be in Tim's viewpoint.

As Shadow and Red Robin, we are unstoppable. As Brianna and Tim, we are the face of Wayne Enterprise's future.

Brianna somehow got Damian and Bruce to sign some papers stating that I will be the business and PR side while Damian is the inner workings for Co CEO positions once Damian gets a degree.

Recently Bruce went on a trip as batman, leaving Brianna and me in charge of the company until he returns. Unfortunately, someone has targeted the company for some sort of heist. We just don't know when it will happen yet.

Tonight Briana and I are finishing up some paperwork when the silent alarm is triggered which pops notifications up on our screens.

"Guess dinner will be late." Brianna sighs.

"Yup. Says it is the RND level. You go down and be a distraction and I'll come in as Red?" I question.

She smiles, "Easy enough. Guess I'm solo working as a boss tonight."

Brianna then goes to the elevator and heads down.

I press a button under the desk and my suit slides out of a secret compartment. Quickly I change and head out the window and down.

The moment I look through the window, I freeze. Brianna is on the floor holding her stomach in pain.

I quickly use the hole in the window to get in. Must be how they got in... worry about that later.

I kneel beside Brianna and put pressure on her wound. She whimpers softly but tries to smile. She was clearly stabbed. Suddenly she looks panicked and tries to move but just coughs up blood. I can't help that I want to just care for her, but I turn around like she warned and instinctively block the goon's attack.

I make quick work of knocking out the three thugs and checking the rest of the floor before rushing back to Brianna.

But her vitals aren't registering in my suit's biometrics scanner.

I quickly drop beside her and begin trying to clot the blood, but something inside me knows I'm too late.

Then Alfred's voice comes over my com, "Master Drake, I can't see who you are with, but the injury is too severe. The vitals are all gone."

"It's Brianna Al... I took to long..." I say softly.

"Oh no... authorities are already on the way... you will be expected to be in your office..." Alfred reminds me.

I look at Bri one last time then rush up to the office and get back into my civilian clothes before rushing back down to Brianna. I just can't leave her alone...

By the time the cops arrive, I have Bri in my lap. She is already cold and her skin has lost some of its color.

"Mister Drake..? What happened here?" A female cop asks.

I sigh, "The alarm went off. We thought it was just the new guy messing up the code so she came down... when she took to long to come back... I came..
Red Robin was taking out some thugs and she was already gone... I should have been here with her... for her..."

The woman puts a hand on my shoulder, "Then you both could have been killed... She wouldn't have wanted that..."

"But I could have..." I start.

"The wound looks too deep... nobody could have fixed that here.... let us take her and get her ready for her service... it will be easier that way..." The woman interrupts me.

I just nod and let them take her. It isn't easier to me though.

The funeral passes all to quickly and I still wake up expecting to see her face.

It take months for him to be able to dawn his suit again and even longer to finally find a routine without her.

After two years, I'm out on patrol like I do every night now. There's a assassine in town, but we have yet to catch them. They are good.

That's when I catch sight of the assassin.

I make quick work of crossing rooftops as I radio in for backup.

I make catch up to her a little too easily and we begin to fight. She is a better fighter then anticipated but I finally manage to pin her just as Jason shows up.

Jason helps to cuff her and hold her still while I crouch and glare at her, "Who sent you? Why are you here?"

"Take of the mask and I'll tell you." She smirks, all I can see is her lips.

"We wont. But you can." Jason says and pulls off her mask.

I freeze, "Brianna..."

She looks confused, "Who?"

My heart shatters.

Jason looks at her and looks down, "her eyes... she was in the Lazarus pit..."

I just shake my head, "Get her locked up at the cave... I need to go..."

"Tim! No! Come on!" He shouts angrily but takes Brianna.

After a few hours of being unable to find Tim, Brianna giggles, "You will never find his tracker Bruce. He has had it hacked for years."

"You remembered?" He asks.

She looks down, "things are coming back... I think I can find him. Just let me try Bruce."

"For Tim. I will let you." He sighs and let's her go.

Brianna leaves and starts checking everywhere she remembers. After some time, and a few new memories, she finds Tim on tip of a building sitting.

She sits beside him and looks at him, "The lazarus pit brought me back... I don't remember dying though... but I started remembering us..."

He looks to her, "you do..?"

"Yeah... and now I am realizing I broke every code and line we had... and hurt you..." She looks guilty.

"At least you are starting to remember... and I'll help you... if you'll let me..." he looks to her.

She nods and smiles some.
