Review: "Tim's fast, but not fast enough. He goes looking for an edge."

There was a challenge a few years ago to write AUs for Tim Drake - mostly based on the premise, "Tim does x instead of becoming Robin".  This one gave Tim the mantle of Kid Flash - and boy, is he unsuited for it.  The problem is that Tim is inherently more pragmatic and cynical than the Flash "family", and that makes him a good Robin, but a dangerous Kid Flash.  For one, he's not satisfied with the training that he has... and the teacher he finds pushes him off his morality cliff. 

Well written, and it makes me want a ruthless killer Tim to show up in canon just a little bit.  He'd do it so well...
