Jason POV

'Replacement took a week, but I've finally got the Info on Parker. All of the documents had been buried on the kid. Took Red a while to release of the documents.' Hood's computer showed a file filled with various documents from Parkers personal information to his past occupations. The computer was one of his better set ups. He'd let Tim upgrade the tech. still not bat computer level but better than a civilian's computer. He clicked on the personal details first.

Full name: Peter Benjamin Parker.

Born October 14th.

Age 15.

Height: 5,10.

weight: 165lbs.

"Might have been 165lbs but not now. He's way too skinny for that. He's from the other earth which explains why he thought moving to Gotham was a good idea."

Relatives: All deceased.

Deceased: Father- Captain Richard Lawrence parker, special forces. Mother- Mary Teresa Parker maiden name Fitzpatrick, worked for the government. Aunt- May Reilly Parker Jameson. Uncle- Benjamin Parker.

"His parents are suspected CIA agents. Both highly intelligent. That's passed onto Peter Explains why the kids on his own, and how he survived a winter without any prior experience. Winter on the streets is harsh even more so on newbies. He's a genus, Probably even Tim's level or smarter."

'He's already released scientific papers and investing revolutionary products changing the world. Admittedly not all of them were successful. There's file on his work at Oscourp, combined with the police report on the lizard fiasco. He made a serum for limb regrowth with Dr Kurt Connors aka the lizard. The doctor took the serum to regain his arm and paid the consequence of using untested chemicals. It was a disaster, the side effect of becoming a reptile is less than desired. Still Tim thinks the formula has potential. The kid could graduate easily, should have already.'

'Except that's not going to happen now, or at least for a while. He disappeared 4 months ago in November, just after his legal guardian May Parker died. Ben died early October, in a robbery gone wrong. The kid's been on his own since then. He's suspicious that's for sure. Got strong sense of paranoia off of him, just like the bats. The only records of his whereabouts known are cash payments on record from the bugle. Must have been saving them up while having a steady income. Smart kid. Stock piling for the worst is a good street rat trait.'

Jason walks away from the computer out onto his balcony. He pulls out a cigarette and smokes in the cool Gotham air. Over the past week Jason had been talking to Parker. Gathering intel about the kid. Documents are only words, so much more can be read through movement and speech. Combining the two allows him to get a better idea of Peter Parker.

'His movements are fluid like a gymnast. Light footed and strong positioned. Physically he has confidence but emotionally and mentally, he's insecure. He starts off fine in a conversation. Get him on a topic he like and it's like watching Roy inventing. Then it's just like he deflates, enthusiasm gone. He checks himself, hides behind a brick wall in his mind. Jones was right he's a good kid. Just a scared and has been hurt. Got strange sleeping habits. But hey who I am I to judge. I'm nocturnal too. It must be how he gets the good photos of fights to sell. His agility would come in handy too, allows him not to get caught.'

'When he gets talking though. It's all Puns, terrible puns, that even Dick couldn't be proud off. Not all bad, some can be funny. It's just the quantity of them. He's just as bad, dare I say, worse than Roy. The universe could not handle them meeting. He uses the comedy as a crutch. He hides behind the jokes. Though when he's having a bad day he gets sullener, depressed. On those days, it's not shyness that stops him from talking.'

'He has signs of abuse. He flinches whenever I move, stays further than an arm's length from everyone. He can be skittish in his reactions when certain topics come up. Like how quite he is. I think it stems from outside sources rather than any family members. When I asked about family he was sad, uncomfortable but not angry or scared. He's already improving. He doesn't trust me but I don't think I'm an enemy either.'

'Hopefully he'll go back to school when he gets comfortable. Might even help him with false documents to avoid the social workers. He reminds me of Tim. Same age, same intelligence, same confidence. Parker just can't hide his insecurities as well as Tim can. I can hear him now, scurrying around frantically. It's surprising really, normally he doesn't make a sound.'

Peter POV

"Somebody hacked the files I buried! Somebody hacked the files I buried! SOMEBODY…HACKED…FILES…BURED!" His alarm grew with each repetition till his speech tailed off from his panicking

'They know pretty much everything important about Parker but nothing on Spider-Man. If their smart there can be conclusion drawn but my physiology doesn't support the idea of Spider-Man. Peter's too skinny, unathletic. With a record of being bullied before and after Spider-Man. I covered myself pretty well. No peter may have links to Spider-Man but it's just the same as Gwen, Harry, or… or… Yeah, they wouldn't put the two together. The suspicious thing is the fact the information is hidden but that can be covered by my parents or Parkers involvement with Oscourp and the Lizard.'

'Would they think I hid the information? Or someone else?'

"Get a grip parker this isn't going to solve anything"

'Slow down and thing. First things first track the signals source location.' Peter sat on the floor cross legged stretching out his joints to relax himself. He put his laptop on his thighs and started the process. It took a few hours but he'd finally gotten through and found the location. The signal went to-

"Wayne manor! Wait, what?"

'Not only Wayne manor, but under it! Like in a basement? What does Mr Wayne want with me? And... sweet Jesus does he have a good computer. That thing's powerful, and like an amateur, I just created a direct link to my laptop. Shit. There's no revealing Spidey stuff on here, but there is plenty of Parker research, Like the lizard serum for one. Well that's just great. Now Wayne enterprise's supercomputer has my life's work. Wonderful. It's odd though that the signal is from under Wayne manor and not the WE building.'

"Why does a playboy billionaire need that kind of set up for anyway?"

'Is this about Spider-Man or Peter Parker? And if it's not my vigilante persona, then why Parker? What could the Wayne's want with puny Parker?'

Peter found that the information had been forwarded to another address.

"Great so some else knows all my research."

The signal was close, like right next-door close.

"Jason. Bruce Wayne sent information about me to Jason Todd."

'So, Jason has ties to the Wayne's? And moreover, he asked a favour to unlock files about me. Very difficult files to find, let alone hack. Whoever did this is obviously an expert. Could Mr Wayne open them himself? I woefully know very little about the Wayne's and this is something I need to rectify.'

Stunned "Guess I've got some research to do myself."

Tim POV

'The bat computer's been hacked. They traced the hack on the documents about Peter Parker. Was someone watching the files? They must be a good hacker themselves to get through the bat computers security. They've been detected but still they did spot my work first. Took me a week to get through the files. Only a few hours for this guy to hack us. He has to be smart, a genus really. Could be Parker himself. From what I've read his intelligent, has the means and motive. I would want to know who's looked at my personal details too. Better get in touch with Jason, this could turn sour quickly.'

When calling Jason, he tends to leave the phone till the last ring to pick up, even if he has his phone in his hand. It's one of the ways he shows spite towards people who disturb his peace. However, this time the pickup was immediate.

"Tim"

"Tim…"

He was dumbfounded. Jason called him Tim. Not a nickname or insult. Just Tim.

"Hey, Timer's you butt dial me."

Shaking himself out of his silent stupor

"Jason, we might have a problem. Someone traced the hack on parker back to the cave."

"What! Damn Replacement you slipping up?"

"No. There good, whoever did it. I suspect its Parker. It took him a fraction of the time it took me to get through."

"Could be him. was a bit frantic a few hours ago but he quietened down since then. Not heard a peep out of him."

"I wanted to give you a heads up. If he's hacked the cave, he's hacked your computer too. Would have followed the signal I sent his files through."

"Damn. What does he know?"

"Potentially everything. I bared him pretty quick but he may have seen a few files beforehand, not enough time to decrypt anything but he could have downloaded files or have an eidetic memory. Even if he didn't he still knows the signal came from Wayne manor and essentially under it. It could cause problems. He at least knows you've been spying on him and now he's likely to do the same."

"So, I'm gunna assume he knows I'm Bruce Wayne's ward. Possibly he knows more."

"Play it safe. Don't wait for him to make his play. Take control of the situation and confront him."

"Yeah, alright."

"I've got to erase the trail before b finds out. See you later to check on the spider."

End call

Jason signs running a hand though his hair. A new habit since working again with the Bats. Deciding to put the blame fully on Tim and exasperated with the turn of events, he faces his foe. A teenage boy with the intelligence of Lex Luthor. 'Time to pull on my big boy pants.'

He strides over to his neighbour's front door and knocks. He can hear flustered movement from inside the flat. Sounds like he's knocking into items. He didn't hear anything break though. 'the kid's freaking out about my presence at the door. He must already suspect me. Or is just this paranoid. Another similarity too Tim. Odd. Are doppelgangers a thing?' deciding to speak up

"It's me kid"

Peter POV

Subconsciously he realises that Jayson is leaving his flat, but he does act on the alarm until his knocking on the front door. Already uses to ignoring the barrage of sensory information, it wasn't addressed until it was too late.

'Shit, shit, shit. He's here he's here.' He panics, standing up too fast he knocks the laptop off his lap, sending a glass of water tumbling after it. Pulling off a move a ninja would be proud of he catches the glass on his foot, kicks it up to catch the water spilled out of it having it land in his left hand. The right hand swiped the laptop mid-air closing it shut tossing it onto the coffee table. This all happening within a few seconds leaving him time to spare, to debate running for it or pretending ignorance. If pleading ignorance still is even an option. Jason showing telepathic like accuracy, reads his thoughts, and starts to pick the lock.

This only insights' more panic. The clicks of the tumbles only add to the tension. Like a messed-up countdown clock. Later on, after he's calmed done and safer, he will address why Jason can pick locks, also if he's a Wayne child why does he live in crime alley, but most importantly why he's legally dead.

He'd just got to some interesting facts about the Wayne family. They're very suspicious. Always willing to help fix Gotham no matter who broke it. Batman, or the villain's he fights. Its predicted that none of the Bats have any powers. There like Clint and Tony. Reliant on skill and weapons rather than specials abilities. There's a strong connection between the Bat's and Wayne's. It could just be that they bankroll Bats as people suspect or is it more?

Jason disturbs this line of internal enquiry when he come barging into the room. Set on a mission to complicate his life further. Peter's horrified caught expression causes Jason to burst out laughing. Peter was on his tip toes with his arms previously flailing in front of him, paused outstretched. To finish off the look his eyes were bulging with his mouth open in a silent scream. The look was too funny for Jason not too react to. Even if he could luckily the Jason, peter knows would laugh at this kind of thing.

"Bwaha ha ha ha. Hiya kid nice deer caught in headlights impersonation?"

"N-n-no. I'm doing yoga."

Peter huffed indignantly while his face burned with embarrassment. Jason laughed

"Sure Bambi, yoga. Hey, you really are Bambi, aren't ya." He smirked at the kid who bristled with anger. He then muted this rage to a cutting glare in Jason's direction. This only started a new round of laughter much to Peters chagrin. Sounding like a petulant teenager

"Whatever. Why are you here?"

The question killed the mood, establishing a serious one, new to the relationship. Peter still in humiliation, didn't immediately notice but stilled at the sight. Jason's posture spelt trouble.

"About that, how much do you know?"

"I know that you had people look into me, but I don't know why."

Jason unpleased with this answer took a pose that loomed over Peter without moving any closer. But Peter stayed strong and held his ground.

"What do you think?"

Peter coming to a decision. From what he's found out and Jason's obvious knowledge and how aggravated he is, Peter makes a guess."

"I know your Bruce Wayne's son, who has ties to the Bats. your meant to be dead. I know you have three brothers. Batman's had four Robins. One of which died."

Jason waiting while he summons up the nerve. He looks him in the eyes and states confidently

"I think Bruce Wayne is Batman."
