Summary
The gently rocking train sang its lullaby along the tracks as it headed purposefully westward. The old conductor, making his rounds, took himself past a small car normally used for transporting the more expensive cargo, like jewelry and fancy European goods earmarked for the San Francisco shops, but on this trip it held ten passengers. Children, orphans from one of the large Eastern cities, were headed towards the promise of families.
Not every child in the car was asleep. The old man heard a tiny whisper from one of the youngsters, barely heard over the clacking of the train's wheels.
"Vin?" He listened for a moment longer, concerned that one of the orphans might be in distress, but moved on when things seemed okay.
"Yes, JD." Vin waited as patiently as his seven years would allow.
"Vin, do you think I could have a pony?" Five year old JD Dunne wriggled closer to his older cousin, trying to get comfortable.
----
First story in the Little Britches universe; where Vin and JD are orphaned children being raised by Chris and Buck.- Bookmarks:

Summary
Tim knew that following around Batman and Robin while only armed with a camera was... perhaps not the best idea, so he decided he'd take a knife along. But he didn't have a combat knife, and he didn't want to use the kitchen knives because Mrs. Mac used those and would probably notice if he either forgot to give one back or dulled it somehow, because it's not like he knows how to sharpen knives...
But he does know that there's a few knives in his parents' artifact collection no one would miss! He'll just grab one of those!

Summary
Gotham loses its Robin and Bruce Wayne loses a son. Tim finds one of these too tragic to bear. In his quest to make sure Bruce Wayne lives to see the next year, he strikes upon the perfect solution: another son.
*
His best bet is, naturally, Crime Alley.
By 8 pm that day, Drake Manor is filled with ten black-haired, blue-eyed boys sitting around the large dining table, looking around the room suspiciously.
Well. Eleven. But Tim doesn’t think he counts.
