Targeted Human Sacrifice: The Children of Dionysus are kidnapping teenagers who are at odds with or distant from their parents and who are questioning themselves and their place in the world with the intent to sacrifice them on an altar.

comment
Instant Sedation: The chaos cult member that abducts Bernard uses chloroform powder to quickly knock out Tim after managing to catch his attempt to punch him. As the cult isn't too concerned about killing bystanders when abducting victims to sacrifice the potential of causing Tim serious damage wasn't something they were worried about.

comment
Ascended Extra: Bernard played a fairly small role as one of Tim's high school friends in Robin (1993) and mostly disappeared from canon after Tim changed schools, appearing only once. Since being reintroduced in Urban Legends, he's become Tim's love interest and a regularly occurring supporting character.

Stood Up: Tim and Bernard have an ice-skating date planned which Tim thought he'd be able to slip away to, but he ends up in Bludhaven as Robin and unable to make it. He calls Bernard and explains it as a family emergency coming up and talks to him on the phone for a while as Bernard skates, calling just in time for Bernard to not feel entirely stood up and forgotten.
