Why this must be read:

Because it's a classic. I hadn't recced this before only because I was so certain it had been recced by someone already. I rarely say something like this, but this story is simply a classic of the fandom, and that's why it must be read.

Tim started at the pressure of a hand on his shoulder and he looked at Dick. (Vision slightly more restricted in the cowl, extra head movement now automatic.) "Just because it's what he planned, you don't have to do it."

Tim forced a smile. "Robin needs a Batman."

Dick looked as though he was about to say something, so Tim pulled away and walked to the Batmobile. His mouth was dry as he settled into the driver's seat. (More volume of cloak to deal with, heavier than his Robin cloak.) Before he shut the door, he turned to Dick. "If you want to patrol Gotham - just tonight - it'd be appreciated?" He hadn't meant it to be a question.

Dick smiled and settled his mask in place. "Sure thing. Batman."
