one day Tim gets shot in the shoulder. The bullet goes straight through so he doesn't bother anyone about it. He hates bothering people with his injuries when there's people more in need than him. He goes home and collapses in bed, he'll deal with it tomorrow.
When he wakes up though, he finds that someone has already come and fixed him up while he was asleep. The area surrounding the bullet wound has been completely numbed too. What the fuck?
There's a flattened bullet hanging from his neck, and Tim wonders if it's the same bullet that went through him. It must be right? Why else would whoever fixed him up give it to him?
The bullet hangs on a shiny gold chain, and Tim stares at it in the mirror. Rubbing his fingers over it and coming to the conclusion it must be real gold. He'll check, just to make sure.
God, somebody make this a Danny Phantom crossover, the Ghost King has too much money, let him lavish it on his poor little meow meow.
It would be funny if Danny watched and took care of all the teenage heroes but Tim is such a disaster that for him Danny has completely abandoned subtlety…
Then along the way falls in love with this disaster, HIS human disaster now!
And that's why he repairs the cup even if it has nothing to do with heroism
