  Tim didn't know how to feel about the mark of his "soulmate" that appeared when he turned 18. Tim didn't hate or love the idea of a soulmate — it removed all the uncertainty about who he was meant to love and who was right for him, but he also wanted to have the choice himself.Richard tried to tell him that soulmates were amazing and that he wouldn't feel the same way about them once he met his soulmate. That was a stupid thing to say, according to Jason, who hated the idea of soulmates. Tim honestly ignored both of them, since he was too damn tired to worry about soulmates most of the time.

Tim was just sitting in the cafeteria area of the Wayne Enterprises building, trying to get some coffee after an annoyingly long night of patrol when his soulmate mark started to feel weird.
