DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE COMICS OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS

As far as Damian can tell, he told Father that he wasn't leaving Grayson's side until he wakes up. He would be Grayson's personal nurse and bodyguard. He would be the one to watch Grayson sleep and would be the one to monitor him.

Perhaps Father must have misheard Damian, because he was at that idiotic place for fools once more.

It was also referred by many as a school.

Luckily, Damian managed to survive school and Wilkes.

After school that day, Damian had planned to visit Grayson at the hospital and attend to his needs. That was supposed to be the plan.

He was paranoid enough (Blame his father) to make contingency plans just in case something terrible might happen. For example, an attack by a villain might occur, Damian was prepared for that. He was prepared for any situation he could possibly think of.

He might have been prepared, but he wasn't prepared when Todd showed up outside the establishment.

Todd was leaning against a pillar that supported the school's gates. He was probably texting someone on his phone. He was wearing a blue shirt (which Damian noted, because as far as he is concerned, Todd only wears dark colors, especially black and dark red). He seemed to be waiting for Damian, because the moment he saw Damian, he kept his phone in his pocket and smirked.

Damian approached him, determined to what he wanted.

"Well, well. If it isn't the Bat Brat." Todd acknowledged, still having that smirk on his face.

Damian's grip on his sling bag tightened. Bad enough he had to deal with Wilkes and now this?

"Todd," He greeted. "Did you came here to plant bombs in this place? I would have helped you out."

The fool chuckled. "Nah, I was just wondering if you wanted to hangout with me at the park later." He said it like it was an activity they do usually.

Damian blinked.

What?

Todd was known in the family as the type of person who wouldn't want to have anything to do with them. He even broke Father's "no killing" rule. And yet, here he was, saying things like, "Let's hangout at the park."

Todd must have realized that Damian was skeptical and had a look of disbelief in his face (Which was true). "Don't worry! I promise it's my treat! I'll even buy you your favorite ice cream flavor if you want!" Todd seemed desperate.

Did the mission affected Todd that much? Or did the fool just got hit on the head?

"Look Todd, I don't know what you're up to, but I will be visiting Grayson. I have no time for this nonsense." The boy said, pushing the man aside and heading towards the exit.

He turned to see Todd's reaction. Damian expected the man to have an angry look on his face, but instead, he got a sad look.

"Look Damian," He said. "I just wanted to spend more quality time with you. I know that I have not been a good brother to you lately and I thought maybe... I'd try to make it up to you." He said, looking straight at Damian's eyes.

First of all, the man just called him by his name, which is not normal. Second of all, "good brother?"

What in the world?

Maybe Damian should call Father or Dr. Thompkins to see what was wrong with Todd.

The boy thought about it for a moment.

Maybe Grayson would want this, Damian thought. His "baby birds" getting along.

Damian agreed to come with Todd as long as he'll have time to visit Grayson.

"AND THEN BAM! I told the old man if he ever breaks Zitka, he'll pay." Todd finished as Damian ate his Vanilla ice cream.

Damian didn't know how Todd knew he loved Vanilla, but it didn't matter at the moment. Grayson must've told Todd about it anyway.

Currently, they were sitting at the bench at the park. Children played and ran after each other around them. Couples walked by and sat at the grass to view the sky.

"So you are saying, that you threatened Father, just for him to take good care of a stuffed elephant?" Damian said, trying so hard not to laugh.

Todd nodded, he looked proud. "Of course! Anything for Zitka! I mean Zitka was practically given to me by my parents at the cir- city! You know, when they were still alive."

"Oh really? What were your parents like?" Damian asked. He was really surprised that he didn't know a lot about Todd, considering that during his time as an assassin, he had to know each member of the hero community especially Father's family really well.

Todd thought about it for a moment. "I guess they were kinda great. Dad was in jail while mom took care of me. They were both proud of me y'know? Saying I was their little... little... boy, I guess?"

It must be difficult for Todd to forget details about his parents.

Damian looked at his watch, he really needed to go to visit Grayson. He finished his ice cream.

He turned to Todd. "Todd, I need to go. I still have to visit Grayson."

Todd ruffled his hair. "See you next time then Boy Wonder."

Damian snorted. "Father will probably scold you for that." He hesitated for a moment. "Would you like to join us for dinner later?"

Todd shook his head. "Nah, the old man would not probably want me there. Besides, I still have to go somewhere tonight."

Damian left. Bidding farewell to his brother. Grayson might be right after all.

So I guess most of you would probably be confused about what's going on. The facts that Jason said about his experiences are not right, I know that. I should've probably considered 'Mystery' as one of its genres, but it's more focused on family and drama so yeah...

Well! I hope that you enjoyed this chapter and please review!
