I rolled my skirt up to buckle my utility belt around my waist. I was thankful that Zatanna, Rio and Babs were here. Almost like sitting in my own hero skin... but I had to keep focused, not loose-lipped, in front of Cassie and Jaime. I watched the dressing room door swing open again, Karen, Megan and Conner walking in.

"Eve!" Megan flew over, giving me a warm hug. I smiled, then exchanging a slightly awkward hug with Conner. "You make a lovely Snow White!"

"Thank you M'gann." I smiled "Who are you going to be?"

"Ariel." Megan smiled "Conner's being Prince Eric."

"I'm going for Princess Tiana." Karen looked at us. "Y'know from Princess and the Frog?"

"Ooh! I love that movie!" Cassie grinned. She looked to Babs. "Who are you going to be?"

"Belle."

"Y'know, Gaston will-"

"-Not get anywhere near me."

I looked over the group. "A-are we sure we're not over doing this?"

"Overdoing this would've meant bringing Beast Boy and Lagoon Boy into this." Conner looked at me "They're harder to hide."

"Besides, Eve. If it's really ReWire, we have a large problem on our hands. Thousands of lights, tons of electricity to power them. ReWire could use that to his advantage." Nightwing looked down at me.

"Right." I looked at 'him'. "So how are we going to kill two hours."

Jaime grinned at me. "How bout we explore, like 'Gaston' said?"

"Sure..." I slurred, wondering what this would lead to. I followed him out the door, leaving the rest of the Team in the dressing room. I closed the door, looking at Jaime. "Explore?"

"Yep." Jaime began walking, at a pace that was way too slow for me. "So..."

"So..." I looked at him, walking along. My dress was heavy, as it had christmas-like bulbs sewn in. I looked at his costume, no bulbs. I slapped my hand onto his back, probably over his scarab.

"Tieve, stop that!" Jaime twirled around, catching my hand. His eyes widened as he realized he grabbed my hand, quickly letting go. "S-sorry!"

I felt my hand, glancing at him. "I-it's o-okay." I heard something, dropping my hand, grabbing Jaime's. I pulled him behind the corner. "Shh!" I looked around the corner, someone in a red hood had appeared in the passageway. I watched him turn, his face was covered by this 'hood'... maybe it was a helmet. I saw a bat-like symbol on his chest, gasping lightly. "Oh my gosh..."

"What is it?" Jaime hush-toned his voice, looking around me. "Who is that?"

I looked at the holsters around the hooded person's waist, and the leather jacket he was wearing. Just like Jason's old jackets, the ones I used to borrow when I was cold. "He doesn't look like he belongs here, does he?"

"Should we maybe tell Nightwing...? Tieve?!"

I was already gone, extending my bo staff and running at the hooded figure. I hit off his helmet, hearing it clank to the ground. His back was to me, hands hovering over the holsters. I breathed in sharply "Who are you?" The man looked over his shoulder, and I met steely blue-grey eyes I recognized. I backed up in confusion, as well as fear.

"Wrong move, baby bird." he turned to face me, devilishly smirking. Jason. But it couldn't be, Jason is dead. Or was dead. I backed up further, bumping into Jaime. "What, scared of a little family reunion? Where the hell's Rionna?"

"J-jay." my breath was uneven. I looked at Jason in disbelief. "Rio's not here."

"You sure? I saw Nightwing wander in about thirty minutes ago." Both Rio's secret identity and mine will be torn apart with Jaime as witness if I don't stop this! Jason continued "Why aren't you in your Robin uniform?" There it went.

I gritted my teeth. Jaime put his arm around me, holding out his other arm. I heard the sound of his armor phasing onto him, then seeing his plasma canon morph out of his hand. "You get out of here before I obliterate you, ese."

"Blue Beetle, I was wondering how you ended up on Nightwing's Shit Squad." Jason picked up the helmet again, then pulling out a hand pistol "Let's check how much of an asshole you are."

"Fine, we do it my way." The canon began to light up.

"DON'T!" I pulled away from Jaime, standing in between the two boys. "Jaime, please don't hurt him! Jason, please don't hurt Jaime!"

"Oh, is this your new boyfriend, I thought you loved me." Jason snickered. "Tieve, the Robin if something ever happened to me. That's what you promised. I became Red Hood, so you'd become Robin. And I see that's exactly what you did."

"Tieve?" Jaime looked at me, the information that Jason just spat out was probably already processing in Jaime's mind. "Who is this guy?"

I sighed, looking at Jaime. "He's my brother."

Jaime's eyes widened, putting his arm down, canon morphing back into his hand. "Brother?" He looked around. "Where'd he go?"

"He pulled a 'Robin'! Man, I hate it when Nightwing and Robin do that..." I turned around again. Jaime was looking at me in surprise. "I bet you heard all he said, right?"

Jaime nodded.

"Nightwing's going to kill me."

Jaime grabbed my shoulders. "This is why Robin didn't want me to go after you, right? Robin is you?"

"Nailed it." I looked at my feet. "Plus it would've been superawkward to talk to you as Robin if I was sorta 'with' you as Tieve. Also, you're too old for me."

Jaime pressed his lips to my forehead, giving me a hug. "Well, since your brother is such an idiot, I could 'adopt you' as my sister. I guess. Because I obviously 'can't date you'?"

I looked up at his face. "Really...? I'd like that."

"What are you two doing?"

"Nightwing!" I looked at 'him' as 'he' walked up to us. I didn't let go of Jaime "It's cold here..."

"You should've brought a sweater." Nightwing looked cautiously between us, pulling us apart. "We have to get upstairs, the parade is about to start."

I breathed as Nightwing left, looking at the spot where Jason had been. That wasn't real, was it? Maybe it was a ghost. Most likely a ghost...

(A/N: Short chapter! I'm at Celtic Roots 2013 right now and won't be back until August 19th! So... I brought Jason back, like I promised I would... Sorta changed the plot a bit. Wait until Impulse shows up then it'll-SPOILERS! Um, yep. R&R please ~RiceP)
