———————————————————————-Ok so this is going to be ongoing. Also don't expect any canonicity in this... I kinda just shuffled around events and changed the whole timeline but whatever.

It was a normal day of exasuation and self hate, but before any of that, Tim had to get his coffee. He, Dick, and Damian were on patrol together last night and decided to get coffee together. So after paying they were waiting for the employee to make their coffee. After a second an employee called out a nostalgic name, "Jason".

Walking up to the counter was a young man that Tim couldn't get a glance at his face. He had mostly black hair with a clump of white in the front. He had a brown leather jacket on and picked up a green tea. After turning towards the group Dick dropped the cupcake he bought

"Jason?!" Dick practically yelled. Tim snapped to face the man. He looked like a slightly older Jason with greener eyes. The look on his face when he saw Dick was a combination of being scared and ashamed. But before any of them could react the man had ran towards and out the door. Suddenly Dick was chasing him with Tim and Damian in pursuit.

What was going on? Jason had died five years ago. But this man was the spitting image of him. And the reaction to seeing Dick was suspicious.

Then Dick caught up to him and caught him by the collar of the leather jacket, and he fell from the sudden stop.

"J-Jason?! Is that really you?!" Dick practically yelled out.

The man sighed and turned towards them "Yeah, it's me Dick". As soon as Jason said this, Dick burst into tears and hugged him.

Damian looked at the two and asked Dick "who is this man you're hugging?". His glare at Jason looked like he was trying to gain heat vision. Jason looked over at the two of us and was confused as Damian was.

"He was the Robin before me" Tim said holding back a stutter on actually seeing Jason alive again. He remembered the times he watched Jason as the boy wonder, he was in love with Jay at the time. It seemed insanely surreal to see him in a random coffee shop in Gotham.

"I wasn't asking you, Drake" Damian hissed.

"I'll explain how I'm here but who are these guys?" Jason had interrupted the moment Tim was about to chew out Damian.

So Dick after sobbing on Jason for a while finally gained a little composure said "That's Tim who was Robin after you" he pointed at Tim and then led Jason's gaze to Damian. "And that's Bruce's biological son and current Robin, Damian". Dick was still sniffling and asked "How are you here? What happened?!".

After eyeballing the two boys by Dick, Jason said "I'll tell you but let's sit down somewhere". After that they went into a family diner and ordered some breakfast and terrible coffee.

"I've been alive for about 2 years" Dick spit out his coffee. Maybe it was just the awful taste but from the look on his face, he was hurt. "The last thing I remember before coming back was the Joker with his heinous laugh and crowbar" Jason's voice shook with anger, but he tried to calm himself down. "When I came back I was in the coffin and had to claw my way through wood and earth to get out. Later I was in the Lazarus pit with Talia Al Ghul, and then I trained with mystic assassins"

"My mother..." Damian said at the mention of Talia's name.

"Wait Talia's your mom, ugh that means I made out with the same person as Bruce". Jason had a look of disgust on his face.

"Ok so, I have a million questions" Dick started, "Does anyone else know you're alive? Why didn't you come back sooner? Are you okay? God it's just, you're alive." Dick was speaking a mile a minute while Tim just studied Jason's face.

"No, I was avoiding all of you guys. I have my reasons for not coming back sooner. The last, I'm not sure."

Jason. Jason was really there. Alive.

"How old are you?" Tim almost blurted out, instead he asked it calmer.

"Tim right?" After Tim gave a approving nod, Jason continued "I'm around 17 or 18... What day is it?"

"August 1st"

"So I'm 17 until the 16th"

Dick looked strange, his face contorted into a weird emotion. "Oh my god, you're only 17?! You should be..." Dick started to count his fingers and then yells "20!". This makes Jason wince.

Tim was looking at Jason, they were now the same age. The hero Tim looked up to was sitting next to him at a family diner, after he died.
