A/N: thank ye for reading!
Bruce and Dick stared in shock at the blood, water, and dirt that were in puddles on the floor of the Batcave. The hand prints on the glass were smeared, it was apparent that whoever had dug up the grave had done so with bare hands and had discovered the Cave.
"This isn't good," Dick said after a few long seconds of silence. "Want me to check the security tapes?"
"We already know who it is," Bruce muttered, stepping forward to examine the bloody smears further.
"Do you think she knows that her best friend as been around for the past few years?" He wondered. "I mean, she must have dug up the body with her bare hands... And I'm guessing that if we tested this blood, it would be Drew's."
"I don't think so," the Caped Crusader replied. "If she found out that Jason is alive she most likely had a different reaction."
"She would still be here, hacking your computer," Dick sighed and ran a hand through his dark hair. "Jason was right: as soon as she came to live with us we should have just told her the truth."
Bruce said nothing. Of course Jason had been right all those years ago. Well, back then they thought he hadn't been, but now it seemed like it could have spared Drew the pain she would experience once she found out that Jason was alive and living as the Red Hood. She could very well kill someone when she found out: angry was how she dealt with things.
"We need to go talk to him," Dick said suddenly.
"Why would he bother?" Bruce shook his head. "Gordon told me about her, last week. Told me that he let her go."
"So... He still likes her, then? Well, at least he hasn't killed her, right?"
"We won't know anything for sure until she knows about Jason."
"She's going to try to kill us, you know," Dick said, glancing up at the picture of his brother on the screen. "Or she'll jus kill Jason."
"She couldn't kill Jason," Bruce said, glaring at the mess in the floor the girl had made. "Even before she had the slightest chance he'd drop a hint and she wouldn't be able to defend herself if it really is his wish to kill her. Which it isn't."
"Do you think he saw her again recently? What do you think motivated her to come to his grave? Even he knows that she'd never go there unless... Someone brought him up." Turning to Bruce, he said, "he must be trying to get her to guess who he is. Since she saw that there was never a real body, she's going to get suspicious of his actions."
He went over to the computer and brought up the feed from the security cameras. After a few more seconds of typing, he let the video play. Drew was digging, but when she looked up, he paused the video.
The look on her fact told the two men that something was very, very wrong.
Dick switched to a setting which allowed him to see in infrared. His expression turned grim when he saw the heat signature hidden in the bushes, and turned it back to its normal setting as he brightened the image and zoomed in on it.
Dick sighed. "Is it just me, or does Jason looked pissed in this snapshot?"
Bruce narrowed his eyes and frowned. The Red Hood had his fists clenched, his body was tense, and he really looked as if he wanted to kill someone. Or beat them half to death. "How about we ask him what's bothering him?" Dick suggested.
"We already have an idea."
"We do?" The man who had once been Robin thought a moment.
"It's what Drew doesn't know about him," Bruce sighed, sitting down in his chair. "He does and doesn't want her to know he's alive. He does because he knows that she still and will probably always see him as her best friend, and he doesn't because of what he is now. Despite everything, her opinion of him seems to be the only one that matters."
"Knowing him, she's bound to find out soon," Dick mused. "I mean, if she were my best friend, and if I were in Jason's shoes, and thank god I'm not, I would eventually get mad at the fact that my best friend didn't even know I was alive. And since we all knew, except Drew, that he liked her. A lot. Probably still does, so, if Drew just so happens to go on a rampage in the next week or so, we'll know why."
Bruce shook his head. That could only be expected of Drew.
"So...we just wait and see what happens?" he shook his head. "as long as Jason understands that she just might shoot him, I'm fine with her knowing. She already knows who we are and who Jason was."
The two men fell into silence.
They could only imagine what would happen when Drew found out.
A/N: let me know what you think! Filler chapter I thinks, but meh.
