2. The mixed reception to those who are obviously not native to this world is... interesting. Of course, in his own reality, opinions on superheroes are mixed and vary heavily from person to person (and superhero to superhero, for that matter). Tim has plenty of time to observe, given that there's a limit to how fast he can move - or at least, should be able to move - on crutches. Not that he needs them, but the government here somehow got hold of his medical records, which stated that Timothy Drake-Wayne was shot some months ago and experienced a spinal injury that impeded his ability to walk. Given how much else they've somehow managed to find out about him, he's not quite willing to tip his hand on this one issue. You never know when it might be useful to have a built-in excuse for your secret identity like that.

At some point, he finds a bench to take a break and idly people-watch, although you can bet he's paying attention to far more details than it looks like he is.

4. Maurtia Falls, sadly, feels a lot more like home. It's here that the shield of 'poor half-crippled teenage boy' comes in much more handy. Most people, regardless of how much they dislike imPorts, aren't willing to go out of their way to be assholes to a kid walking around with leg braces and crutches.

He's also taking the opportunity to practice one of his new powers - invisibility. Every so often, when he's sure no one's looking, he'll slip out of sight and stay that way, hanging back to idly spy on observe whoever happens to be around. Invisibility is definitely going to be a useful power.
