Now, this is the interlude... we kinda get into the heads to these four characters at their point. Next chapter will de 21st and the 1st of the second part!

Enjoy this little but interesting chapter that nods to The Robin Conspiracy!

Interlude: The Conspiracy Begins…

Tim Drake

The future.

It holds many mysteries, it hold many enigmas. I never knew the fate I would have by following my instincts. I am just a kid, I seek for affection, I seek for comfort and a helping hand. But sometimes I think I can be stronger. Sometimes I think life is better when you have the courage and will to do what needs to be done. For yourself, for others, for people….

I remember when I discovered that Dick Grayson was Robin, that Bruce Wayne was Batman. I followed the leads, like a good detective I wanted to be. But I could never expect life would end up throwing me to their arms. And I would forever be their son, their brother, their partner. It was at the cost of my own parents, of my family, of my former life.

But now I can help people other way, I can become something else so they don't lose what I lost. Sometimes I wonder how could I be as good as Dick, but he's my inspiration. He's my hero, and I will never replace him as Batman's partner. I might, one day, be enough to call myself a true Bat. But in the meantime, I'll save Dick.

I'm not going to lose him. Not ever. Not to this man, Slade Wilson. Not to anyone that begs me to give up. I'll save my older brother, because I love him, because I want him back.

And because I'm his little bro. His friend. His family. That itself should be enough…

Jason Todd

I threatened Brother Blood. I was ready to kill him for what he did to Dick. I was so angry. I enjoyed when Catwoman tortured him, making him squirm and turn. Why am I so angry all the time? My life was rough, from being a beggar on the streets to try to steal the Batmobile wheels. But I always tried to do the right thing. Yet, I'm always angry, always waiting for destruction.

Am I worthy as adoptive son to Bruce Wayne, the mighty Batman?

All I ever wanted was a real family, and now I have one. From Alfred to Bruce, from Dick to Tim. And yet, I feel so odd. I will never accept it but I love them deeply and I would do anything for them. But this beast is as evil as the one Dick's been turned to. I can only hope that they find him with the information we collected.

And yet, if I had the chance… would I kill Brother Blood? I'm not sure, and that scares me… a lot…

Damian al Ghul

I am an al Ghul.

I am an Heir to the Demon.

I am the Heir to the Demon.

I'm just seven years old, but I've seen my share of blood and destruction. My training makes me stronger than many grown adults, and yet, I find myself looking for sense. I am Ra's al Ghul's grandson. But I am also Batman's son. What does that mean?

Does that mean that I have to follow a grey path? I wish I knew. Sometime it is not enough to be the Heir of the Demon. Sometimes I wish for something more. I am supposed to create a whole new world, lead humanity.

Aunt Nyssa knows that. My mother Talia knows that. My grandfather knows that. All the League of Shadows know that.

But sometimes, I don't feel like a Shadow at all.

Dick Grayson

Pain.

All I feel is pain.

And hatred.

They've got me. My Master is going to be disappointed. No, I am Renegade, I am the Apprentice. I am Deathstroke's right hand. I am not supposed to be deceived again. I am not supposed to let them get into my skin. No! Bruce won't hurt me again! Nor Roy or Wally! Or Barbara and Zatanna. I am Renegade, not Robin! RENEGADE!

But, I was Dick Grayson once. And I remember, the voices of my past. Mamica, Tati… they were calling me… they were loving me…

Mr. Haly looking so proud.

And yet, there was a whisper in the circus. A whisper I tried hard to remember always, but only comes back as I am filled with Mirakuru hatred. A lullaby Mr. Haly sang to me once, when my parents where performing and I was too little to be an acrobat yet.

I remember those words now, with the Mirakuru enhancing my mind.

Those words.

"Beware the Court of Owls, that watches all the time. Gazing from the shadows, behind cement and lime…"
