Jason had no idea where to begin. He had Bruce admitting partial fault but the responsibility for their compromised identities unto him. How is this mess to get cleaned up when everyone was waiting for some move to trigger a contingency plan? They all had one, but so did Gypsy. They were in a stalemate, but not for him. He liked her style and that she had no issues with blood, but never the less, that was a deal breaker to everyone else that was playing the hero game. Jason, hell Roy and Kori too, had nothing to lose with her in the picture. Their involvement with her was not problematic. Now he was avoiding the whole responsibility part that Bruce pinned him with. Oh well, he thought, it wouldn't be the first time.
He remembered Dick saying that he thought he had seen her before, and how often was this dysfunctional family going to be under one roof? Never mind that, it had been happening more often and, per the usual, under less than urgent circumstances. He supposed he was to blame for that to some degree, but they were screwed up in their own way to make things tense. Jason left the room and made his way down to the kitchen, figuring Dick would be down there chatting things up with Alfred. He found the golden boy alone, rifling through the fridge.
Jason made no hesitation to confronting his polar opposite, "You said a few weeks ago that you thought you had seen Allison before."
Dick perked up and closed the fridge, cracking open a beer. Well this meant the day had been rather trying for the optimist. "What?"
"Back when we met up at the diner, you looked through the pictures and said that you thought you had seen her. Dickie, I gotta know."
Dick took a long pull at the bottle before answering. "Oh yeah, but that was years ago, like back when I was in Titans. I don't even know if it was really her."
"Okay, but let's just say it was her. Where and when, and who was she with if she was with anyone."
Dick opened the fridge and grabbed the rest of the six pack. He moved past Jason.
"Where are you going?" Jason asked.
Dick stopped and turned back to face Jason, "Look, it's been a long day. That and I know you hate research so this is going to make tolerable for all parties involved."

They bribed Tim into unlocking Titan archives and they started combing through villains of the days gone by, a few that are still around, and fighting styles. They came up with one idea, and even then it was rather farfetched. No true ties to Shadows, which made them both relieved. Nothing with Cadmus. Nothing to do with Lex. Jason had a lofty idea of her initial intention, but he would have to confront her on that on a different day. They came up with one idea, a lead more than anything.
Bruce was going to either encourage or maim them for mentioning it.
The road was with Deathstroke.
