"How is this possible?" Alfred asked incredulously, looking at the grandson he had thought lost forever.

"You never found a body, did you?" Jason replied with a cheeky smirk, before enveloping the butler in his arms. "I hope you've baked your cookies, god knows I've missed them!"

"Alfred what's going on?" bruce demanded as he walked towards them. He stopped frozen not believing his eyes. "Jay-lad? How?"

"Hey, old man," Jason smirked at his dad, finally letting go of his grandfather. "The Shadows and Talia happened."

"W-What?" bruce stuttered, not understanding what was going on.

"What's the commotion?!" Dick exclaimed as he descended the staircase. "Little Wing?" Richard stood frozen before his first little brother. "Little Wing!" He rushed forward to hug the taller man, as he sobbed in his chest. "You are back! You are back Little Wing!"

What followed was a series of hugs and crying and introductions. Of course, various D.N.A tests were done, they wouldn't be bats if they were not paranoid, and they all simply corroborated what everyone already knew. Jason Peter Todd was back. They moved to the library, where Jason was given his cookies and tea while being cuddled between Dick and Bruce.

"What happened? How are you back?" Babs asked, still shocked that her little Jason was alive. Though, he was not so little anymore.

"Before the explosion happened, I was saved by a member of The Shadows..." Jason began telling his tale. "He took me back to Nanda Parbat. Even with his help, I did not survive the journey." Dick and Bruce's arms tightened around Jason. "So, I was thrown into the Pit. Who... what came out of there was not something I could easily come back from. But with time I id. My memories returned within a year... which was when I returned to Gotham City. However, it was too much for me, too early. The Pit Madness took control of me easily after learning that the Joker was still alive. That B was the one that brought him back... I knew I could not return without going on a killing spree. I left and decided to come back when my anger not only at the Joker but at all of you had subsided."

Bruce's heart ached at his son's words. Not only did he feel guilty but also angry at himself, he had caused this. He did not save him in time and was the reason why he had not returned home earlier. Rationally speaking he knew he should not blame himself, but there was no way he could handle this whole situation rationally. His son was back to life! Something new to talk about with Dinah during his next session.

"You are the Red Hood," Tim realized.

"Damn, Delphi had always said that you would become a greater detective than B. Good for you by proving him right!" Tim blushed under the praise of his hero, his Robin. God, his Robin was back! "What do you say b, angry at me for breaking your precious rule? For being part of a team filled with killers?"

"As Barry said, you were just doing your job," Bruce replied, gaining shocked expressions not only from Jason but the rest of his family. "I've learned recently that I've become quite the hypocrite. Calling Delphi a danger, when I've got plans to take down all of my closest friends in case they turn evil. Catching thieves and assassins, unless they are pretty enough for me to turn the other side. Condemn killing, but not bat an eye when policemen do it."

"Wow... it seems that you've truly changed. Good for you... dad," Jason said with a smile, earning a tight hug from his father, who felt his heart about to explode from hearing his precious son call him that again.

"What made you come back now?" Kate asked. "Wass it that the Joker was finally dead?"

"No... well, yes... in part. When I killed him I did so because I wanted to and because they were my orders. But I did not fall into Pit Madness. It was then that I realized that I did not need to live in fear of losing control." Jason confessed. "However, it was when my boyfriend proposed that I knew I had to come back. I wanted my whole family there with me."

"Boyfriend?!" They all exclaimed.

"Yes, Roy," Jason laughed.

"Speedy?!" Dick exclaimed, not believing that one of his oldest friends was going to marry his brother.

"He goes by Arsenal nowadays," Jason corrected his brother.

"I would have thought you were dating Ravager," Steph commented.

"Nah, she and SomeBody are a thing," Jason informed them.

"How did you survive what befell the rest of The Shadows when you too were resurrected by the Pits?" Tim asked, not comfortable with how many pieces did not seem to fit. "How did you even escape The Shadows? Are you Damian Zumard's second brother? Where have you been living since then?"

"Wow, hold your damn horses!" Jason exclaimed, ignoring Alfred's 'language!', eyes widening at all the questions. "But they are good questions, so I'll answer them. We've got nothing to hide." The Colony tensed at the use of 'we'. Who are we? The Renegades? Delphi? Or someone else? "When B here decided to refuse the generous offer of Ra to be his heir, they went for their second-best option... his son." They all tensed not liking where this was going. "No, I do not mean me. B, do you recall Talia telling you she had lost the baby? Well, she lied."

"What?!" They all exclaimed in shock.

"She took the baby and placed him in an artificial incubator, where she and Ra made sure he was genetically perfect and rapidly aged him... as Luthor did with Superboy." Jason sighed sadly, as the rest of the family was boiling with barely contained rage. "He was the one who took me in and saved me. He was not aware that what he has been raised learning was wrong until he saw what Ra and Talia had done to me. He was horrified and took me away. He contacted John Constantine for aid to heal my mind, which lead us to Captain Marvel. God, trust me I was fucking furious when I realized that a magical wizard had chosen a 9-year-old as the Champion of Magic!" They all winced at the reminder of why Captain Marvel had only just been admitted to the Justice League. "John had seen what the issue was, my soul was linked to a demon. Even if it was what saved me now, once I would have died my soul would belong to it."

"But you are safe now, right?" Dick asked him worriedly.

"Yes," they all sighed in relief. "Unlike, the rest of the members of The Shadows, my soul had only been linked to it for a small period. I could be saved... not that the same could be said for the others." Jason sighed. "After that, we killed the demon, taking down The Shadows with it. However, to defeat such a powerful demon we needed raw magical power, which John did not possess and none of us were taking a 9-year-old boy to any battlefield, less one that dangerous." The Colony was all nodding their heads in agreement. "So, my brother, yes I mean Damian, had to help take down the Savage family. Their immortality and abuse of power had created an unbalance that Magic could no longer accept. They took their powers and immortality away, alongside some other criminal magic users. Which made them easier for their enemies to kill. Damian then realized how much evil hide in the shadows and decided that enough was enough. Something had to be done."

"So, that's how Delphi came to be," Bruce commented.

"To tame the world, that's why Talia named him Damian," Jason explained. "Damian decided then that he would not follow the path of shadows and death his mother had planned for him. He chose one of light and healing. He'll tame the world by helping it. Soon many allied joined him and The Renegades were formed. When I was well enough, I finished my studies and went to Berkley for a double degree in Social Work and Literature, while Roy followed me for Business, soon you'll see in the news of a new Chairman for The Society of Birds, while Roy follows Queen's steps in his company."

"What about your identity?" Barbara inquired.

"Well, you guys helped by claiming me dead, even without a body. So, claiming that I had amnesia and no idea of who I am was easy. A new legal identity was done for me... Jason Bruce Zumarud." Jason confessed.

"Jay-lad..." Bruce murmured, touched and relieved that he had not ruined things completely with his son. So, proud of the man he had become, even if he did not agree completely about all his life choices, he could learn to accept them. He was also thankful for the miracle that having him in his arms was. It was enough to ignore the fact that the person he had been hunting down was his blood son, who his eldest seem to be in love with.

"The plan is to tell people that Jason came from reading the myth while in bed at the hospital and that Bruce was the name of the doctor that attended me." Jason continued to explain, ignoring the emotional moment, even though his sniffles were giving him away. "Which is not a lie."

"We could hold a press conference explaining that you miraculously survived and only now regained your memories," Alfred offered with a smile, so happy to have his grandson back.

"As long as I get to keep the Zumarud name," Jason replied.

"Jason Bruce Zumarud-Wayne... I like the sound of it," Bruce commented with a smile.

"So, I was right! Maya Ducard is Damian's secret sister, he is Corvus, and Rachel is Raven!" Tim exclaimed in extasis.

"Almost," Jason stopped him before he could get himself too worked up. "Maya is now known as Maya Talia Zumarud, her record is closed and very protected. She is now studying Philanthropy, Grantmaking, and Social Investment at the University of London with Suren and Billy, I mean Captain Marvel. Maya will be taking over The Tasmanian's Monster, while Billy takes control of The Pantheon." He explained to his family. "Rachel is Raven, but Suren is Corvus. I chose his middle name by the way," Jason smiled at Alfred, whose eyes widened in shock and honor. "D is not planning to fight, just heal the world. He'll take over The Order, while Suren is planning of taking care of The Amazon's Heart. It's not like we need the money, with D's galleries and recital halls all over the world, or all the money we'll get from D's next plan."

"What plan?" Bruce asked warily, only receiving a big smile from Jason which made Bruce feel even more nervous.
