Chapter 2

"Dick, been a long time." The deceased Boy Wonder said, standing. Without warning, he attacked, filled with a sudden rage and pinning Dick to the wall "How DARE you do this?! You practically IGNORE me for the time I was alive, you NEVER avenged me, then have the AUDACITY to name one of your spawn after me?! WHY?!"

"Jason... I... what?" Dick was too befuddled by his little brother's, his DEAD little brother's, sudden presence in his sons' room that he couldn't do much more than splutter.

"Hey!"

And suddenly the weight pinning him to the wall was gone as his son tackled his brother and the two were now rolling on the ground, furiously battling each other. The sound of his son crying out as the older boy landed a particularly hard punch is what brought him back to his senses.

Prying the two apart, Dick snarled at Jason. "Knock it off! You have issues take it up with ME, Todd!"

A crowbar smashed into his head, and the deceased Robin sneered at him, "Oh I will. Where do you get off stealing my name?!"

Dick rubbed his sore head "I thought...I thought-"

"You thought it would bring you closure?! That naming your twip after me would somehow HONOR my memory?!"

Dick gulped,"Well...yeah."

The younger Jason made a disgruntled noise, "Dad, can we change my name? I don't want to be named after a self-absorbed dreg." Then he turned to his namesake, "And if you so much as lay a finger on my dad again I WILL end you"

"I am NOT changing your name, you little punk! YOU kicked me in the face when you were born. You DESERVE his name!"

the older Jason suddenly burst out laughing"Wait wait...let me get this straight...when Junior over there was born...he kicked you in the face?!"

Jay grinned haughtily "He broke his nose on my foot."

"You kicked him in the face AND broke his nose?!" Jason lowered his weapons "I take it back, kid. You DO honor my memory."

Dick grinned, "There you see? I don't have such bad naming skills. I mean Star wanted to name him Strarwing and his brother Nightfire."

"HA those are DOG names! speaking of wich...what is that smell?"

"Mehek Meheeeeeheeehehheheheh!"

"Those are Goats, Jason." Nightwing laughed

"Bleheheeeeet!"

"EWE it WHIZZED ON my FOOT!"

"Jason Todd Grayson! Get your goat out of my house!"

Jason's eyes snapped open to the morning light that was suddenly steaming in through his window, "Huh? Mom?"

Suddenly there was a goat in from of him and it started licking his face.

"Good morning sleeping beauty." His dad greeted him from his room's doorway

"Dad?" and suddenly he understood, it had all been on freaky dream, "I had the weirdest dream..."

"Yeah? Me too, actually..."


From his point in Spectre's realm, a certain bird angrily wiped the pee off his foot, then smiled. The test had been successful. His successor in name and action would carry on his legacy...He smiled, knowing that Grayson would tell his story sooner or later, when the kid was ready to hear it, "Got your back..." he whispered, smiling.


The End
