Synopsis: Someone has stolen all the money from the Wayne Foundation Youth Charity Fund. Batman and Red Hood go after the man who did it. While doing research on the thief, Tim is hit by a mysterious beam from an odd weapon that has been sitting on a shelf and is de-aged. Oh boy, what are they going to do with a four-year-old Tim?
Prologue – Stolen Assets
Bruce flipped through the financial reports of the Wayne Foundation, then noticed a huge discrempency. 'These numbers are not adding up,' Bruce thought. 'This is supposed to be spent here, why was it placed here?' Bruce went over the figures one more time. "Damn. Are you kidding me? How did this happen?" he spoke aloud.
Dick entered Bruce's study just at the moment when Bruce exclaimed his sudden query. "Those two idiots are still fighting."
"Samantha and Jason?" Bruce asked, as he verified for a third time what he was seeing. Even when he moved the figure over to the appropriate column, things still did not add up with the current figures he had been sent.
"Well...more like Jason misinterpreting something that Samantha said and running off. He's been touchy lately, and he won't talk about it. Even Sasha can't get through to him. I think it's time you handle it because I don't think I'm cut out for it. I tried and they both bit my head off."
"All right, as soon as Jason returns send them both into my study," Bruce said exasperated. It was just one more thing he had to take care of. He was glad Tim and Damian were getting along for once. At least that wasn't a fire ready to burst into flames.
"You got it," Dick said. 'I might bash their skulls together if I have to handle it, again.'
"Here, make yourself useful," Bruce handed Dick the financial papers he had been working on for three hours.
"You want me to check your homework?" Dick teased, as he looked over the reports. "These are for the Foundation."
Bruce gave Dick a smirk. "Tim has a headache and isn't up to looking at the reports right now. Actually, I want you to see if what I'm seeing is correct. If you do, then I'm not crazy."
"What is it that you're seeing?"
"A whole lot of money suddenly has gone missing. And someone decided to add it in the wrong place."
Dick started to go over the papers when Bruce asked him a question.
"So, where did Jason go and where's Samantha?"
"I think Jason took his motorcycle out somewhere and Samantha probably went to talk to Sasha," Dick answered. "You're right, Bruce. Something isn't right here. These numbers do not add up."
"That's what I thought. We better go over this, line by line, section by section. Project by project."
"That's going to take several hours."
"If what I think has happened, the Wayne Foundation has been robbed."
