zugzwang: in chess, the obligation to move, when any move at all will be bad
"A game of chess, Detective. I assume you know how to play. You win, and you and your family may leave freely. I win, and you take your place as my heir and I dispose of the others as I see fit."
Tim stopped breathing.
Ra's spread his hands, still smiling that condescending crocodile grin. "Our skills are evenly matched. The challenge is more than fair."
All a game, just win. All a game, just win. Just win, just win, win, win...
Keep your head.

Summary
He dropped into a defensive position. A yelp sounded through the darkness and the creature thrashed harder, struggling to make it to shore. As it got closer, Jason could see the outline of a tail. It didn’t belong to any type of animal he had ever seen before, but it wasn’t terribly big either. That didn’t mean it couldn’t be a threat though; Jason knew better than to underestimate a potential enemy.
Wait, was that a human arm? What?

Summary
@lieutenantobvious | so batman hates batgirl, huh
@ohnoourtableitsbroken3 | omg why is this so embarrassing??? im embarrassed FOR her
@sugarsweetbabiex | god i want batdaddy to shout at me too
Babs sees a little face over her crossword puzzle and a pair of impossibly light blue eyes looking at her. She jolts, clutching her chest.
“Hi,” Tim says obliviously, casually balancing his weight on her drawn-up knees with his soft gummy palms. “You look sad.”
--
15-year-old Babs has never needed validation from anyone, but... Batman's latest words to her have left her spiraling. It would be a good time for a mental health break, if not for the men trying to kidnap 5-year-old Timothy Drake while she's babysitting him.- Language:

Summary
The blond splutters, works his jaw a few times, and glares at Jason with all the heat of a pissed off golden retriever.
“Did you seriously chloroform me?”
Jason shrugs, entirely unapologetic, and tosses the gag in the trash.
“You didn’t shut up. I had to make you. Can’t have you lookin’ too springy in the pictures.”
----
Jason kidnaps Bernard to get at Robin.
Bernard is a terrible hostage.
