Jason laid in his bed.
As he laid there curled up in the comforter Jason stared at the wall as he felt like the weight of the world was crushing him. After living a life where Bruce didn't adopt him, did care or even give him a second glance hurt. Going through life as a child was hard.
When he was little, before Bruce caught him, Jason remembered eating out of trash cans, dumpster diving for clothes or food. He remembered sleeping anywhere he could find sometimes he got lucky and found card bored.
On the streets Jason was always hungry, always cold, alone and even if he had friends most of them died either from getting shot, beaten to death or died from sickness and when they died the State would just call them a John Doe or Jane Doe and that would be the end of it.
Looking up at his room Jason looked at all the things that had been his. When he had come to live here in the Manor with Bruce he had nothing. Bruce had than gotten him everything a child needed to live but than Bruce had gotten things for Jason out of kindness and he could remember each item that Bruce had gotten him after they had spent time together.
Closing his eyes Jason felt hot tears fall. Sniffling Jason curled up tighter into a ball as his stomach twisted with guilt on how he had acted for a long time. In that world that Damian had sent him to Bruce didn't love him, didn't care and when Jason had gone to speak with that Bruce the man turned him away.
Letting out a whimper Jason pulled his comforter over his head. For a minute Jason cried quietly before he got up, sliding off his bed still wrapped in his comforter as he opened his door and peeked out seeing Bruce closing Dick's room quietly meaning that the other had fallen a sleep.
Swallowing hard Jason stepped out of his room with his comforter hiding his eyes and he walked slowly to Bruce who stood there. He could see the man turn to him but only saw his legs. He could tell that Bruce was tense waiting for what was about to happen.
Walking up to him Jason pressed his the side of his head against Bruce's stomach and stood still for the whole of three minutes before he started to cry. Why should Bruce forgive him? Why should he take him back into his life after all he had done? Why hadn't Jason noticed that without Bruce he would have been nothing more than a low down dirty criminal?
It was clear that Bruce shouldn't ever forgive him. Never ever let him back into his life but than Bruce picked Jason up as if he weighed nothing and held Jason tightly as if trying to keep the world away from him.
That broke the wall and Jason started to sob uncontrollably. At one point Jason knew he was just screaming between the cries and sobs that racked his body and other times. Jason was crying out in pain of what his life could have been, in horror of what he had done and most of all Jason was crying for hurting that man who he thought of as his Dad and how much pain he had cause.
"It's alright, Jason, it's alright," Bruce's strong loving voice soothed. "It's alright, I'm here."
"B-Br-Bruce... I-I-I'm so-sorry..." Jason clung to him tightly. "Sorry... Daddy, pl-please...!"
Bruce held him tighter and walked up and down the hall as he ran his hand over Jason's head after pushing the blanket away and brought him comfort. Jason used to love for him to run his hands through his hair when he was going to sleep.
Slowly Jason's eyes drooped until they closed and he realized feeling safe in Bruce's arms. He twitched a few times until the second Robin fell into a deep sleep feeling extremely tired and feeling as if a large weight was lifted off his his shoulders.
Bruce carried Jason back to his room before laying his son down and covered him carefully, tucking Jason in before kissing his forehead lovingly. Standing up Bruce looked back at Jason and smiled remembering the last time he had seen Jason look so peaceful in his sleep in his room.
Closing the door to Jason's room Bruce turned to go down stairs. Once there he saw Damian come out of the cave and his son paused before looking around. When he saw none of the others he walked right up to his Father.
"Where are they?"
"Dick and Jason are sleeping."
"I see." Damian nodded before crossing his arms. "I hope that things went well with them?"
"Yes." Bruce reached out and put a hand on his son's shoulder. "I don't know what you did Damian, but thank you."
"You are welcome, Father." Damian smiled a bit. "After all a little scaring for life is a good thing."
"... I suppose."
"Now than, Father," Damian said looking around. "Where is Drake?"
Tim woke up with a small whimper as he was pulled from Edward's warm arms and the chilly air made him shiver. Soon he was wrapped in a warm blanket. Sighing happily Tim curled up into the warmth before looking up to see that it was Batman!
Edward woke up hearing a squeal a delight. He tried to pull the child he was taking care off closer but Tim was gone! Gasping Edward jolted up only to scream seeing the dark looming figure of Batman there.
"Bats!"
"Nigma." Batman said in his growling voice. "I'm here to return this child to his Father. Wayne thanks you for watching him."
"Why didn't he come for Tim himself?" Edward asked standing before reaching out trying to take Tim back. "I should keep Tim until his Father comes for him."
"I was asked to take him home." batman said easily shielding Tim.
"I was asked to take care of him." Edward whined still trying. "Give him back, I have to take care of him!"
"Edward." Batman growled. "He's not yours to keep."
"I know that!" Edward moved around Batman trying to take back Tim. "Give him back! I want to give him back to Mr. Wayne!"
Why was this so important to Edward? It wasn't like the other had interest in kids before so why the sudden change of heart? Thinking back on it Batman remembered that Edward was only twenty seven. There was just something about being in costume that made everyone ageless.
"I will be taking him home." Batman growled before shoving a care into Edward's hands. "This will let you out of the building. Remember I will be watching you Nigma."
Batman didn't stay to hear anything else and left taking a very happy child with him.
The next morning Bruce Wayne noticed a very depressed Edward Nigma pushing around sugar cubs with a pencil.
To add to his guilt the redhead's eyes where puffy and tears slowly fell from his green eyes.
Bruce could say that he greatly enjoyed the way all three of this sons where clinging to him the next day. However it made things harder since Zantana was one her way again this time with her Father.
They arrived right on time.
Damian glared at him all while holding onto Tim who was sleepy and was laying his head under Damian's chin his little hand clutching his shirt as Tim's head would fall forward before Tim tried to sit up again. The little boy was trying to say awake even though he was exhausted.
"Alright," Zatara grinned. "Let's get this over with. Dick, Jason, I will take care of you two first."
Both boys hugged Bruce tightly before following the man. Damian frowned but said nothing as he patted Drake's head as the toddler finally gave up and was nuzzled up against Damian sleeping.
Zatara came down twenty minutes later informing them that both the boys where asleep and would be for a day. When they reached to take Tim from Damian an alert went up for some new crazy aliens wanting to enslave the Earth.
Damian glared at his Father. "No. No. NO. NO!"
Tim squealed happily as he was scooped up by Edward at the redhead's apartment.
Some poor Aliens were put into body casts by a terror known as Robin.

[Edward's Nigma's Apartment]
A strange figure stood there watching from across the street watched Eddie Nastion through binoculars as the redhead walked around the apartment carrying some random child in his arms. The mysterious man watched as Eddie set the child down and turned on some music as the two of them danced around, the small child chasing Eddie around as the green eyed male ran in a circle before stopping to grabbed the child hand's hands and spun the kid around a few times, the little child giggling and smiled happily.
An hour later the man stopped watched before making his way out of the building and heading towards the apartments. The large man made his way the three flights of stairs before heading towards the one that housed Eddie Nastion or as the man now called himself Edward Nigma and once in front of the door he knocked on it.
There was a pause as the music lowered and soon the sound of someone walking to the door and that voice that the man hadn't heard in years called out for him saying 'Just a minute' before there was a sound of a lock being clicked and the large man felt such a raise and excitement as the door opened.
"Who is it-?" Edward's voice died as his eyes widened in terror at who was standing there.
"Hello, Eddie-boy." The man said with such a sinister smile. "Aren't you going to let your Daddy in?"
Edward slammed the door closed locking it as his body shook so badly that the room seemed to be shaky. He ran towards Tim grabbed the little boy up before running towards his bedroom and setting Tim down before locking the bedroom door hearing the front door being banged on and it was breaking.
Heart racing Edward opened a small secret hatch that was hidden under the carpet floor. He opened it before grabbing Tim and putting him inside the hiding space just as they heard the door breaking. Edward hugged Tim once before kissing his forehead for a few seconds before pulling back and put his finger to his lips telling him to be quite and Tim nodded eyes full of tears.
The top closed and the carpet fell back over but a little space was left open and Tim stood up to peek through seeing the large man break into the room and Edward backed up against the wall. Crying without a sound Tim pressed the little button on his Batman toy.
Daddy had said to push it if anything bad was happening and that man was hurting his friend. Tim made no sound but he could hear the screams, the angry yelling and the painful cries and his little mind put some things together and Tim felt very sad and couldn't understand and wanted his Daddy. Bruce was his new Daddy and kind to him and loved him. Tim remembers how mean old Daddy was. Tim old Daddy hit him a lot and called him names. Tim didn't like when his old Daddy hurt him.
And now Tim didn't like how Edward's Daddy was hurting him.
Tim closed his eyes and hugged his Batman toy close to him.
Daddy would come. Damian would come. Daddy would save Edward and Big Brother would save him.
