"No!" cried Robin, his eyes wide behind his mask as he stared down at his brothers unmoving form.

"Robin move!" said Batman quickly taking Dick's head off his youngest sons lap and laying him down on the ground before beginning CPR.

From a distance Jason was watching.

"Come one Dick" he hear Batman whisper as he beat his hands against the young man's chest, after several minutes it appeared clear that CPR alone was not going to bring back Nightwing. Batman felt so foolish, knowing the problems they had had with Death Stroke before he had brought all the main members of the Justice League with him. All the members that knew how to use the Zeta means from the watch tower were currently searching Gotham for the masked villain.

"Batman to Superman"

"Superman here, have you found them?"

"Yes, Wilson has been taken care of but Nightwing is in cardiac arrest, I need you to find a zeta beam and beam to the mountain from there beam to the tower and pick us up"

"On it. Superman out" Batman kept the rhythm going on his son's chest but he knew it wasn't doing any good and Dick had been dead for several minutes now, he was slipping away from them.

Robin meanwhile had fresh tears running down his face as he watched his father trying the revive another of his brothers. He hated this bit, the not knowing when it was time to give up, the decision to finally give in.

Jason watched and felt something inside him that he hadn't felt since the day he died. Grief.

Dick was going to die, he was technically already dead. He more than anyone knew how horrible that was. He paused. He had died before but had been brought back to life; there was something inside him that had caused his heart to begin beating again, despite everything else in his body fighting against it. Maybe…there was still a chance.

He walked forward and knelt the other side of his older brother while rolling up his sleeve.

"What are you doing?" asked Robin when he saw Red Hood pull out a thin line of medical tubing and two needles. He put them together and rolled up Nightwing's sleeve as well.

"The magic that brought me back to life is in my blood, if my blood is running through Dickie Birds vein then it might get his heart pumping enough to keep him alive until he can get a transplant" he explained quickly as he plunged the needle into his arm and then Dick's.

"Keep doing CPR, we need to get this blood flowing round his body, it needs to reach his heart"

"What do you mean magic that brought you back to life?" asked Batman as he started pushing down in Nightwing's chest again. It was beginning to scare him how pale and cold his eldest was becoming.

"The Lazarus pit. Ever heard of it?"

Batman nodded while he concentrated on what he was doing

"It's a myth" Red Hood chuckled when he heard this

"It's very real my friend, as real as I am" they were silent as Batman continued the compressions the others watched as blood ran from Red Hood into Nightwing. M'gann was beginning to feel sick.

"Is this going to work?" asked quietly, she saw Robin flinch; clearly he had forgotten they were even there.

"I don't know" replied Red Hood gently; he had always had a soft spot for the martain which apparently hadn't gone away when he was brought back to life. He still though of her a sweet and fragile, he would hate to see her cry.

"Superman to Batman"

"Receiving"

"We can beam you all up" there was a white light and the next thing they knew they were on the floor of the watch tower. Black canary ran to them but all paused with wide eyes when they saw Red Hood. Or should they say Jason.

"Is that really…?" stuttered Green Arrow. This annoyed the former hero

"Yes it's me, the second Robin, I'm alive, no I'm not going to explain how. Now can we get back to I dunno saving this dumb asses life!" Canary came forward the rest of the way.

"What are you doing?" she asked

"Moving my blood into his body, the chemicals in my blood that are keeping me alive should bring him back long enough for you to do a heart transplant. Think you can get a heart ASAP" it wasn't a question because the only answer he was interested in was yes. Without a new heart his brother was doomed.

The blonde, nodded we can get one here in 10" she then ran off down the corridor to sort it while Flash ran to get the surgery room ready.

"Can we move him?" asked Batman as he continued CPR, but Red Hood shook his head and Batman could see he was weakening from loses of blood.

"Not yet" he said "wait until his hearts beating, then you can move him, we can't risk you stopping CPR yet" his voice was slurred slightly.

"Are you alright?"

"I've been beaten half to death, blown up and died. I think I can handle a little blood loss" he snapped. Had he been anyone but Batman he probably would have flinched at the hatred that ran through that comment. But he was Batman so he stayed emotionless.

"What are we waiting for Bats" said Ollie speaking the thoughts that everyone else was thinking.

"Just be ready to get him to the surgery room" Red Hood really was starting to sound worn out now.

Suddenly Batman stopped doing CPR

"What's wrong why are you stopping?" asked Wonder Woman but Superman raised a finger for her to be silent.
"I think I can hear.. a heartbeat?" all waited in silence for a few moments and then even Batman sighed in relief when Nightwing suddenly gasped for air.

"It worked" said Robin his hands running through his hair and smile on his face.

Batman carful but quickly removed the IV that linked him to Red Hood and lifted Dick into his arms before placing him on the waiting cart.

"Go!" he shouted and Green Arrow and Flash ran him down the corridor where Canary was waiting with the new heart.

Batman watched them go, the painful memories of his middle son going down this same corridor fresh in his mind once more. But Jason wasn't dead, he had saved Dick, he was right behind him perfectly well.

"Red Hood!" Batman turned to see that the very boy he had just been thinking about had just collapsed.

"Is he gonna be alright?" Robin was looking extremely over whelmed, and if he was honest Batman felt the same as he lifted Jason up and carried him over to a bed in the medbay.

"Yes, he will be fine, once he wakes up we'll make sure he drinks plenty of fluids and give him something with sugar in it"

"What about Dick?"

"All we can do is wait".
