Chapter 2: the past
An: Consider this and the following two chapters as fillers.
##
A Year? Ago maybe...
Tim was trying without success in making small talk with his cousin which had stayed with them this last 8 days. As usual, Damian ignore him as they made their way back into the car after a quick trip in the grocery.
They gape when they caught a red haired boy red-handed in stealing the third hubcaps of their Park car. "busted" Jason thought before he fled into the alley yelling
"Damian! " Tim charge after his reckless cousin who took it upon himself to catch the red haired kid.
Alfred who had known tim as Robin of the young justice decided he can take care of himself and instead he focus more in fixing the car. He didn't know that they were all in for a surprise.
Jason Parkour his way to freedom, he thought he could shake his tail but to no avail. "what are you a ninja or something kid?" he Sassed
That reminds Damian of Something as he remove the 3 shruriken that his grandpa give him before he was booted out of the league of Shadows. He grin evilly.
"what the f**?! " Jason yelp when he got almost scalped by the weapon.
Tim almost laughed but he redoubled his effort in catching his cousin. He doesn't want attention from the cops why a kid died by a ninja. Thank you very much..
Damian was really out for blood. He draw his sword when finally Jason was trap. Jason tried to jump hoping to get a grip on the wall and climb up like a spider on it to reach the top, sadly it looks like he can't seemed to make it.
"f**k. " he realize doing a double take when he saw the sword.
" oh my. " Tim gape when the boy also produce a switchblade.
Later..
" how did i end here? " dick dress as Robin thought as he push damian's head while the guy tried to punch him. He portend to check his nails while he glance at tim and Jason fighting at the distance.
Jason who was quick to anger and just as quick in finding the funny side of things was trying to hold his laughter. "who taught you this shit man? And youre suppose to be Robin?" he mocked.
Tim was in an old fashioned boxing stance that Alfred taught him. He muttered in embarrassment...something about not being in the mood To be robin while out of costume.
"welllll get your gear! " Jason said smiling. " i want to see if i Could easily kick your ass the same way I kick his"
Dick throw him an annoyed look. "that was one time red hood."
Tim blinked at him. Jason keep smiling.
"fine. " with that he run back all the way from where they came from.
Earlier like 30 minutes ago...
Dick who haven't yet found his future as the leader of the teen titans is trying to make a living as a hero Under the government's pay roll. He was not feeling the aster. He was almost done with a Mission which is why he is making his way from rooftops to rooftops testing out the cool gadget-the Grappling hook - the govt boys rewarded him with. The government have cool toys.
"dickkk. " someone howled his name and he caught Jason trying to Pry off one boy from his back while fighting another one in front.
Robin swing towards their direction. Instead of helping he balance himself in the edge of the edge of the building and began to appreciate the fact that yes, Jason was a tank. No grace just full power. He remember the few times he saw Jason fight in the orphanage and an even fewer times Jason butt get kicked.
Jason throw him a dirty look. "thanks a lot golden boy." he said.
Tim had enough. He grip and suddenly extend his bo staff. Jason find himself flying backward for no visible reason except for a pain in his forehead.
"owww.. " jason moan.
Dick stand up sensing that something is up Coz the boy who looks like he was about to attend a funeral or a corporate meeting look suddenly blank and detach. He also put on a poise that is a beginning of an attack.
" oh god. Red hood thats robin! " dick squeeked.
" no. YOURE robin. " jason corrected wondering if the hit in his head cause a concussion in dickies brain.
" that is the Robin from young justice. " dick said as he roll his eyes.
" ooohhhh. Your replacement. " Jason abandon his stance in favor of teasing dick.
Tim refolded his bo staff and tap Damian's clothes to get rid of the dirt before he confess with sheer embarrassment that he get his idea from a circus show several years ago so that makes him the original.
Dick paled.
Jason kinda put two and two together. "meet your obsessive fan girl Grayson." he push his buddy towards tim.
Tim paled.
"youre Richard Grayson? " Tim asked to be perfectly sure.
Dick hug him. He laugh. " Mami tati called me Robin back when i was.. They were... " Dick wipe a tear from his eyes. He remove his domino mask to reveal beautiful blue eyes. He ended his statement with an unhappy sigh.
"oh. " Tim shuffle his feet. " hmm i like how you flew and right before uh you know... I decided to have a bird related superhero name there and then. "
"so what's your hero name kid?" dick prompted the young kid when he thought the boy seemed out of place.
Damian look him up and down. "i wanted to kill tim and be robin but it looks like i could kill two birds with one stone after all and be the Best and only Robin." and with that he charge at dick.
Back to the present... (NOT chapter 1 present)
"where is Master Damian? " Alfred asked with concern when he saw his ward.
Tim snatched his bag from the backseat and hastily dress to his heroes outfit. " i think, we are both making friends Alfred. "
Also on impulse he brought a rock. A special rock.
Meanwhile...
" I'm going to change as well." Jason decided as he remove his jacket from his waist, turn it upside down to reveal his signature brown jacket and then he fish out a t-shirt from one of the jackets pocket.
"wasn't that the t-shirt you wore last month during a gang ramble? "dick asked disgusted.
Jason throw him an embarrassed look. " "also last last month. It's my uniform dickie bird"
He self consciously hurry with changing his clothes, put on his jacket and remove a domino mask from the pocket of his jeans. "hey can i borrow your weapon dick?" he beg.
Dick sigh before he remove two sticks from his person.
"hey do you need to change too little d? " dick asked.
" tt"
"I'm back." Tim announce later as he show up. He was grinning. He hold his staff at the back of his neck looking bad ass.
"let's go. " red hood said as they clash.
Later...
The four boys was half laughing half groaning in pain as they fall in their backs to rest in the floor.
Jason was sharing his and dicks shared History way Back in an orphanage while Tim shared that he only get to know that he had an assassin for a cousin just that month. For some reason being boys they ended up boasting about their scars.
"guys i want to show your something. "Tim finally said as he seat down cross legged.
" what? " Jason asked bored.
Tim produce the rock." this is from one of my mission with the young justice. An alien artifact. To make this-"
He was interrupted as the three boys who act mature beyond their years, decided to grab it at the same time.
A bright flash of light...
[i] "Jason todd. You failed in the project baby bird. We are casting you out. "
" Mami. Tati. Nooo"
"sorry my beloved. You have to be strong for a bit until father and i make up. It's better for you to stay with your cousin in the mean time. "
" Timothy Drake, you failed in spelling the word "Mississippi" right. You're a disgrace in this school. "[/i]
The artifact made the four boys answered some survey and asked for their valid email address so as to reveal the result and then. . . After buffering and turning off and on the modem. . ..
The result was..
" i am vengeance
I am the night
I am groo- i am batman"
Batman stood up, hiss a bit when he realize it was in the afternoon and made a mental note to report for duty that night. He touch one bat ear and promptly dissolve into four Robins.
A:n/ might change this chapter later if i could just think some bRilliant way on how they met
