Week 3 - Part 1:

Titania woke up slowly. She was surrounded by warmth and different kinds of firmness.

Yesterday's events didn't quite come back until her eyes met Jason's. He was on his back with Dick curled into his other side and Titania resting her head on the crook of his naked shoulder. Damian spooning her, an arm wrapped around her protectively, the other hidden beneath the pillows. Tim was being spooned by Kon as he pressed his back to Dick.

Titania blinked as she looked at the mess of limbs that the six of them made. She released a breathy giggle as she settled back down to have more sleep before the execution began later on.

Jason smiled to himself as Titania went back to sleep, only to have it turn into a smirk as Damian's eyes locked with his. Explaining this to Bruce later on was going to be hilarious. Especially because all this happened when Damian disappeared with Titania. Wanting some alone time with his beloved.


Bruce was mad; enraged was a better word.

Bruce was running on 2 hours of sleep for the past 3 days.

Bruce was under a lot of stress from WE and a particularly trying case with the Joker.

Bruce had never wanted more to scream in pure frustration then right now, as he sat his children and their significant others at the dining room table as Alfred served breakfast. It took a lot of will power to not only not break his one rule of 'no killing', but to not use the Batglare on them.

He had to remain calm, cool and composed. Not that he was debating on whether or not he should strangle his beloved sons.

The CEO calmly took a sip of his extra strength coffee as the children began to eat in a nice, peaceful quiet.

It was thankfully like that throughout the rest of breakfast. Everyone continued to stayed seated as Alfred took the plates away and refilled the cups of coffee.

This time the quiet that surrounded them was tense and slightly awkward. Until Damian spoke up.

"It was Todd that started the chaos Father." He stated, completely serious as Bruce took another sip of his coffee. Titania whacked him upside the head, earning a hiss and a weak glare.

"It was not! You started it by running off with the Little Missy, Demon Spawn." Jason half hissed half crackled. The largest and smallest brothers glared at each other.

"Enough." Bruce commanded, there was an underlying growl and the glaring brothers, looked else where. Bruce turned to Dick.

"What happened?" He questioned and Dick grinned into his cup of coffee.

"Well it goes like this..."


Dick was finishing his funnel cake, when he looked up to where Damian should be and found that he was gone. Along with Titania. Dick stared at the spot where the youngest couple had just been, in shock. How did they do that? WHEN did they do that?

"Jason?" He called out and saw that his boyfriend was now staring along with him at the spots that were now vacant of two people. "How did they do this?" he questioned. Yes, he knew that suddenly disappearing in the plain sight of people was kind of their thing. But someone should've noticed that they were gone!


"How did you manage to escape us?" Jason interrupted Dick's story to question the two. While Titania mentally noted down, that suddenly disappearing was their thing. Damian just shrugged as he sipped on his orange juice, a small knowing smirk on his face. Titania smiled a little as she thought back on the previous day.

It was very interesting.

"Anyway. As I was saying..."


"Jason we need to find them." Dick half whined, half ordered when it was found out that NO ONE realized that Damian and Titania had left. Seriously how did no one not realize this! Especially Kon. With his heightened senses and all. He should've been the first to notice at least.

Jason was actually, secretly, a little worried too. But only for Titania. He didn't give a shit for a his youngest brother. Nope, not at all. Well, maybe a little. Besides he also wanted to find them, only to find out their technique so he could use it when he's stuck at a boring ass board meeting.

"We're going to split up and cover the park in sections. Tim and Kon you guys cover the North and West ends of the park, while me and Jason will cover the South and East ends. Everyone got it? Good. Go." Dick ordered and they split up. Tim shaking his head in exasperation as they did. His older brother is so overdramatic.


"You made it seem like we were kidnapped, or some kind of recuse mission." Titania pointed out, Damian and Jason nodding their head along in agreement. Dick's smile was half sheepish, half cheeky. Bruce just shook his head as Alfred pored him more coffee. Bruce turned to the only female there.

"What happened when you two left?" He questioned her and she smiled happily at him. And the CEO couldn't help but feel some of his anger dissolve at the the smallest's infectious happiness. In that moment, Bruce made a note to himself to test her for a meta gene.


Titania and Damian waited patiently in the line for the ferris wheel. This will be Titania's first time on one, and she was excited. Smiling widely as the line moved forward, her hand clasping Damian's.

The 13 year old didn't care one way or another about going on this ride. But it was made meaningful by the joyful smile on his Beloved's face. He couldn't help but lean down and place a kiss on her forehead. She giggled as they entered the cabin.

They sat opposite as the door closed behind them. Titania was wide eyed as they started moving, looking around to take in the amusement park from high above. While Titania's eyes were never in the same place longer then a few moments, Damian's were fixed to Titania's tiny form. Soaking in the small details.

He took in the way her blue black hair was glossy and almost shined in the direct sun. He took in the way she had unbuttoned her button up, revealing a light grey undershirt, and rolled the sleeves up to her elbows. The Bat Clan plushies were positioned next to her on the seat, Titan on the floor.

The breath was stolen from Damian's chest as Titania's eyes met his. They literally sparkled in joy. There was no very well hidden glimmer of anxiety in them, as per usual. Her past cannot reach her, all the way up here.

The ride stopped at the top and Damian leaned in, his hand reaching out and cupping her cheek. Titania leans into his warm, calloused hand, her smile turning soft. Her hand coming up to cover his.

As Titania's eyes fluttered shut, a mere inch between their lips, the PA system turned on. On it was Dick's voice. Completely and utterly ruining the moment.

"Damian, Titania, if you can hear me, you have 10 minutes to get to the PA's office. If not then we're bringing out the big guns." Titania flinched back in surprise, looking around out the window, while Damian glared a hole into the ground as he mentally swore revenge on his two eldest brothers.


"That reminds me, I have yet to fully exact my revenge." Damian sneers, and gets a whack upside the head from Titania. His frustrated gaze was met with an unimpressed look from Titania.

"Knock it off." She told him. The 13 year old sniffed and looked away, quieting down as Jason and Dick chuckled. Well Dick chuckled, Jason was a little ways away from choking from lack of proper air.

Titania's green eyes cut sharply over to them, instantly their laughter dies off. "This is also your fault for escalating the situation, when you could of texted us." She points out, causing the eldest boys to hang their heads in shame a little as the tiniest of them crosses her arms and huffs through her nose.

"Alright, so then..."


Damian let out a growl so threatening, that it made Titania flinch. He stood and Titania stared at him, wide eyed, as he ripped open the DOOR OF THE CABIN AND JUMPED OUT OF IT!

Titania screamed his name, her heart gripped tight by terror, before he landed on the structure of the Ferris wheel and started to climb down the moving ride. The tiny teen started at her boyfriend in pure shock for several moments, before scrambling back into the cabin, closing the door and whipping out her phone.

Dialing Jason's number as quick as possible.

"Jason, Damian is climbing down the Ferris Wheel!" She half screamed into the phone, before Jason could even say a single word.

"He did? Really?" Jason didn't really sound that concerned and was only slightly surprised. He sounded mostly annoyed.


"That reminds me." Titania's eyes focused sharply on Jason, who was suddenly very interested in his coffee mug. Looking at it as if it held all of the universe's secrets. Titania looked over to Damian who was also very interested in his orange juice.

"Why, in the ever living hell, did you decide to jump out of a moving ride, that was over a hundred feet up in the air." Everyone looked at her in surprise. She looked at them blandly.

"So what? I can't swear now?" She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

No one answered her, so she huffed in exasperation and Tim decided to take over the story telling.


Tim could sense the wrath of Damian Wayne as he stormed his way over to him and Kon. It was the tingling of the hairs standing up on the back of his neck as Damian with all of his worth, glared at Tim, at least his general direction, that saved them from death.

In a quick attempt of saving his boyfriend from the demon spawn, Tim spotted a worker's monkey costume and rushed Kon over and into it. Giving him a rushed explanation of what was happening. Then bolting when Damian got into eyesight. A fire burning in his ice blue eyes.

Kon began to run after them, but then the fangirls - and fanboys - came out of the wood works. Having spotted the younger two brothers of the Wayne boys.

"It's Tim and Damian! After them!" Kon turned around, in pure terror as a stampede of fans, with no regard for his life, rushed at him. Trampling him under their feet. And when it was over, almost a full minute later; Kon decided, right before he blacked out, to never go to a theme park with all of the Waynes there with him.

It wasn't worth it.


Tim looked at Kon with hurt, but also reluctant understanding. Titania patted his shoulder in sympathize, her head nodding in agreement.

Damian felt a slight betrayal as he watched Titania interact with the half alien. Though he couldn't tell her that small fact. Doesn't mean he doesn't want to tell her about their night life.

Because he does. But he won't - there are rules to this life. And he has to follow them. For now.

"What happened after Kon was brought within an inch of his life?" Bruce asked rubbing his eyes in an effort to keep back the headache and exhaustion. Maybe he should just run away for a weekend to somewhere tropical and stress free.

"Well Old Man," Bruce groaned at the nickname, "The Replacement proceeded to bring his cluster fuck over to me and Dickie Bird." Bruce realized then, that the stress would only follow him.


"Dick! He's after me! He's an actual demon!" Tim yelled as he sprinted over to his older two brothers. They turned around in unison as Damian chased Tim, while both of them were being chased by a large hoard of fans, with terrifying expressions on their faces.

Dick and Jason looked at each other and made a quick split second decision.

RUN!

The two sprinted in the two opposite directions. Tim's eyes widened as did the fans. Jason and Dick were also here. The large group spilt up and went after the other two brothers.

Tim put in a burst of speed and climbed up some stall, jumping from stall top to stall top, Damian hot on his heels, as the fans tried to find a way to cut them off and corner them.

All the while Dick was running all throughout the petting zoo, trying his hardest to shake the fans. And he did, only then to accidentally piss off some big ass goats and have them starting to chase him instead. They were as unshakable as they were loud.


Titania couldn't help but laugh as Dick told them all about the evil goats and their soul sucking blank black as night eyes. And they were screaming at him too!

By that point Titania was pressing her forehead to the table as she felt as if her gut will split open from the amount of laughter coming from her. A few tears leaking out of her eyes as laughter continued to escape her.

The smallest couldn't help it. It was hilarious, it really was. And the whole day, yesterday was just utter chaos from the beginning.

Finally after several minutes, Titania was able to calm herself down enough, for them to continue, though giggles still slipped from her lips every now and then. It warmed everyone's hearts to see the youngest so happy. It really did ease the tension off of them.

Bruce made a mental note to get her tested for a meta gene as soon as possible.


Titania's stomach twisted in dread when the Ferris Wheel suddenly stopped, she was about half way down to the ground, and as she hesitantly looked down, seeing Damian no where in sight.

Suddenly there was a small explosion at the base of the Ferris Wheel. There shrieks and screams for help, but the Ferris Wheel continued to stand even though there was some smoke coming from the base.

Titania looked around at her phone then to her plushies. She's not going to be able to keep them. Licking her lips nervously, she decided to hell with it, and climbed onto steel arms that held the carriage in place. Cursing the Waynes mentally as she went.


"Why did you decide to try and climb down the Ferris Wheel?" Tim spoke up, before anyone else had the chance and Titania gave him a blank look.

"Someone needs to make sure you guys aren't killing each other." She deadpanned and got a couple chuckles.

"No the fans were trying to do that." Jason interjected, a slightly horrified look in his eyes as he grinned.


They were bloodhounds. That was the only explanation.

Jason had jumped in a random port-a-potty, had locked the door and braced his back against it. The hoard was hovering just outside unsure of where he had went, and the largest brother had thought he outsmarted them but then there was a, 'Quiet!' yelled and everything went eerily silent.

Jason held his breath as foot steps padded closer and closer to his hiding spots. Then the footsteps stopped, and Jason had hoped that they gave up, but then...

"He's in this one!" There was banging and groping at the door suddenly and Jason was jerked forward in surprised. Only to yelp as the death trap was being rocked back and forth. And within a moment Jason realized they were trying to move him. Port-a-potty and all.

In that moment, Jason sent a prayer up above to the Lord, despite being an atheist.


Titania chuckled as did the rest of the table with the exceptions of Damian and Alfred. The former just rolling his eyes while the latter shook his head fondly.

A thought entered the smallest's mind then.

Curious, she turned to her boyfriend, with wide, wondering eyes.

"While Jason was awaiting his Messiah, what were you and Tim doing?" She asked and everyones eyes turn to the youngest brother while Tim cringes. Trying to become one with his coffee. It wasn't working.

"If Damian tells you, you're not going to get the correct story." Tim sighed as Damian opened his mouth to speak. He glared at the older as he put down his coffee.

"Okay so, we were both running from the hoard -"

"I'm not a coward and would run from such pitiful creatures. I could easily defeat all of them with both arms behind my back." Damian sniffed and earns a loud smack on the thigh from Titania, as she glares at him to shut up and let Tim tell the damn story.

Damian sniffed again as Jason held back his snickers. Titania ignored them and motioned for Tim to continue.

"So we were running from this hoard of fans..."


Tim took a sharp left and jumped onto the next food stall, Damian never letting Tim leave his sight, was following right behind him.

"It was Dick and Jason!" He screamed. "I wasn't part of this search party thing!" He chanced a look down at his reluctant little brother and saw an actual demon with ice blue eyes and bloodlust radiating off of his small form. How could something that small be so filled with rage?

Suddenly there was a loud tearing sound and Tim felt the world drop around him as he fell through the fabric of stall covering. Landing the counter with a heavy thud as Damian jumped over it, coming to a screeching halt as Tim scrambled up and out of the stall.

In process of running for his life, Tim managed to knock over three kegs of beer and half destroy the cash register in his fall. Damian breaking the counter in half in his landing and causing an open flame to fall atop of a tab of used oil. A small explosion went off as Damian spring boarded off of the wrecked counter, the stall catching on fire as Damian continued to chase Tim.

In the distance the sounds of sirens wailed, of both the police and the fire department. It was barely a minute of pure hell later that a squad of police were surrounding and detaining Tim and Damian. Another 20 went by before Bruce arrived, as the fire department shoved their way to Jason, who was trembling hard as they recused him. Cleared out the goats and coaxed a traumatized Dick to climb down from the nook he found himself in, nearly 50 feet up in the air. And meet Titania half at the Ferris Wheel before getting everyone one else down.

The park being cleared as the injured were tended to and Bruce pushed down his anger enough to allow worry to show. Making sure his responsibilities were all alive and well enough to be killed later on. Except Titania and Kon, the former was to innocent to punish and Kon wasn't his. Plus he was just dragged along in this.


Bruce sighed, taking deep breaths as his hand tightening around his coffee mug until it cracked. The ceramic squeaking in protest of the destructive pressure. Titania swallowed nervously as she watched Bruce grapple with his rage, her anxiety rising as he hid face in his palm.

The air was tense and suffocating. Titania felt like she was being choked by the tangible anger in the air. Not just from Bruce, but from the rising tensions between Damian and Tim as the glare at each other, her and Kon the only ones separating them.

Dick looked over to Titania when he realized just how tense it was. Eyes widening, noticing how Titania was starting to shrink into her already small frame. Her emerald eyes darting between the glaring brothers as Bruce's white knuckled grip finally broke the mug.

Titania nearly jumped out of her skin as a loud whimper worked past her lips. Suddenly all eyes were on her, making her shrink more into herself. Wanting more then anything to be able to disappear and go cuddle with her puppy.

The smallest jumped three feet in the air when the door bell went off, seizing the opportunity quicker then her mind could fully comprehend, Titania was bolting down the hall and ripping the heavy door open.

Her stomach twisting and dropping when she realized it was the police. A detective there at the head. The tall, orange headed man looked down, beyond his thick mustache, at her with a brow arched in surprise.

"Are you Titania Pennyworth?" He asked and Titania could only nod numbly as another detective stepped forward. Her hand tightly gripping the door handle as the woman lowered herself down onto her knees before her.

"Honey," The woman started, Titania instantly knowing why she was here, telling by her British accent. "We're here to bring you back to England and to put your uncle in jail. But we need you to stand before a judge and - Titania!" The 12 year old fainted as Jason walked up behind her, having been sent to check up on her. His eyes widen as he catches her, also having heard the woman.

Lifting her up in his large arms and cradling her protectively, Jason glares at the now standing female detective. Looking past her, he sees the commissioner. "Why are you here Commissioner Gordon?" He asked, biting back the venom on his voice as he half shielded Titania away from the British woman.

The Commissioner sighed and stepped into the Manor, lightly pushing the British officer back out. "Jason, the girl -"

"Her name is Titania." Jason interrupted the older man, a scowl cemented in place. The redhead held up a hand in truce. It was too early for this in his opinion.

"Titania Pennyworth is a minor and British citizen. She is a victim in a serious case and her statement is needed to put her aggressor behind bars. So she is being transported back to England for the trial." He explains, a hand reaching out to take the tiny 12 year old from the large 18 year old.

Jason continued to hold Titania close as his mind raced. If Titania was forced to see, God-forbid confront, that bastard, she was going to break down. She fainted from just being told she was going to have to stand before a judge and make a statement against it. The vigilante's blood boiled from just the thought of the monster anywhere near Titania.

"I already fucking know the story." He spit, looking past the Commissioner as his hand dropped, to the the woman. He glared at her with all his worth. Internally smirking when the blood drained from her tan face. "But you dumb fucks don't. So you won't fucking know what will fucking happen if you force Titania to fucking make a fucking statement-" Dick's hand muffled Jason's rising voice as he cursed him and the police.

"I'm sorry, this isn't a very good time right now. We'll have to get back to you later." Dick politely pushed everyone out of the door and shut it behind them before removing his hand from Jason's mouth. The elder dismisses the younger's glare as he gazed sadly at the unconscious bluette. Brushing the bangs out of her face, Dick looks up to Jason. Who had stopped glaring to look down at Titania.

"We can't just let them take her Dick." Jason breathed meeting his boyfriend's eyes with worried ones. Dick's concern matched Jason's. He may not have experienced her nightmares, but he did meet her 'uncle'. And he could only imagine how devastated Titania would be should she come into contact with the monster.

"I know Jay." He said just as quietly. The hand at his side, tightening into a fist in frustration.

"That tape should've been enough to send his ass to jail for life." Jason quietly hissed, heavily muscled body tensing in his anger.

"It should have. They probably wanted proof that she actually existed." Dick tried to reason, causing Jason to turn his head and snarl. Completely enraged with the justice system. They had a fucking confession from the monster itself. That should enough to send that bastard away for the rest of its miserable fucking life.

"Fuck."

"Who was at the door?" The two turn towards the youngest Wayne as he looked at them through narrowed eyes. Those ice blue orbs honing in on Titania's twitching form. A nightmare starting to creep up on her. Dick and Jason share a look as Titania started to pull away.

Dick will explain the situation to Damian, while Jason settles Titania down. Nodding in agreement at the plan, they split up. Damian highly suspicious as Titania was carried off in the opposite direction.

Small whimpers were exiting the sleeping girl as Jason placed her down on her bed. Tucking her in and sitting at the foot of the large bed, Jason watched Titania's twitching form still. A thin layer of sweat causing her skin to glimmer in the late morning light that filtered through the sheer curtains.

Between one moment and the next, Titania went from laying down to bursting from the bed and jumping into his arms, heaving sobs wracking her body as she clung to Jason.

"I can't - Jay I can't - please don't make me - I can't - they're going to make me - I can't - please don't let them -" Jason held her close as she gasped out half formed sentences. Rubbing her back as he cradled her head against the nook of his shoulder, her tiny hands fisted against his bare skin.

Normally he sleeps naked, because he tends to run hot and doesn't need the clothing. But with Titania around he's been making sure he at least has underwear on. Luckily this time he also has sweat pants on.

Titania's crying was starting to slow as her body began to droop. She was starting to fall asleep when the door was ripped open. The loud bang as the handle smashed into the wall, causing Titania to scream, trying to escape from Jason as the half naked teen glared at Damian.

"Leave." Jason ordered as he released Titania, allowing her to scramble away from both of them and into the bathroom. Locking it with shaking hands as she hid in the bath tub. Damian ignored his older brother and was going over to the bathroom, only to have Jason stop him. His large hand wrapped tightly around the smaller's wrist.

Damian tried to rip his wrist away, but found it fruitless. "Release me now Todd. I'm needed else where." He scowls, jerking his wrist. But Jason's iron grip only tightened as he bared his teeth at Damian in a primal fashion, the instinct to protect the smaller Pennyworth taking over.

"No you're not Demon Spawn. You'll only make it worse. In fact you already have by slamming the fucking door open when she was about to fucking fall asleep." Jason hissed softly, trying to keep his voice down as to not spook the unstable teen any more then she already is.

Damian sneered at Jason's foul language, but didn't respond. Instead he let his hand drop, looking over to the locked bathroom door before looking down at the ground. A moment of tense silence fills the room before Damian rips his wrist free and stalks out of the room. Head hanging in shame and hatred.

Hatred for himself, because he has once again prolonged his Beloved's suffering. Hatred for Todd, because he was right. And hatred for the monster that shares blood with Titania. He should've gone against his father's order of no killing. But simple death didn't seem enough for the bastard.

Jason sighed heavily as Damian left. Running a hand over his face and through his hair, the teen approaches the bathroom door. Sitting next to it and gently rapping his knuckles against the wood, Jason calls out softly to Titania.

"It's okay Titania, it's me - Jay." He paused as he heard some rustling and a couple hiccups. "It's just me, I'm here when you're ready to come out." He explains softly and has to wait a couple minutes before the door cracks open, revealing a timid Titania. Emerald eyes red and puffy, more tears glistening in the corners as she bit down on her already abused lip.

Licking her bright red lips, the 12 year old slowly placed herself in Jason's protective side. Allowing him to wrap a muscled arm around her stiff, trembling frame. It took a couple moments before Titania relaxed. Her stiffed melted away by the comforting, steady heat the older emitted.

Head drooping, chin touching her shoulder, Titania slid into a dreamless sleep. Nightmares warded away by the protective embrace of one Jason Todd. Her trust in the larger to keep them away, absolute.

Smiling sadly, Jason picked up Titania and got them comfortable in her bed. Curling around her, Jason contented himself with the thoughts of possible plans for the next couple weeks whirling around in his head, while his hand rubbed soothing circles on her back.

He needed to figure out how to get the monster locked away with as little damage to Titania as possible. She was already so unstable having been released from Hell a couple weeks ago. Jason just wanted her to be okay, but for her to be able to breath easier, it's going to have to hurt a bit.
