DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BATMAN OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS.
"What?" Damian said when he heard the man's reply.
He looked at Drake, hoping he would have an answer for this, but the imbecile looked as confused he was.
The man sitting at the couch blinked. "I'M-JASON-TODD,-BUT-IN-A-WAY-I'M-NOT." He said carefully.
"That's not what I meant Gra-To-WHOEVER YOU ARE!" Damian exclaimed in frustration.
Tim placed a hand on his shoulder. "Damian, let me handle this." He said in a soothing voice.
Damian obliged.
Tim looked back at Jason. "What do you mean Dick? The only thing that comes into my mind is that you both inhabit the same body, specifically, Jason's, but I'm not quite sure."
If Jason was feeling normal, he would have told them something rude or cuss, but he wasn't so he just sighed.
He ran a hand through his hair. "I guess I could tell you..."
"Clearly, who we're facing is not a good villain." Red Hood said as he and Nightwing hid behind the crates.
"Shut up Jay," Nightwing hissed as the sorceress placed a bunch of other ingredients in her cauldron.
"I'm just saying, I mean, even I would know that security is very important." Jason continued.
"WHO DO WE HAVE HERE?" The witch said as she levitated the crates where Nightwing and Red Hood were hiding.
"Oh I don't know, two random guys just sitting here talking and stuff." Jason said. Nightwing rolled his eyes.
"TWO MEDDLING KIDS EH? WELL, YOU WON"T SUCCEED IN STOPPI- AHHH!"
"HOOD!"
"What?! I just shot her! That's all!"
Nightwing gave him a disapproving look.
"YOU TWO WILL PAY!"
A strong force came out of the woman, making the two hit themselves on the wall.
"NIGHTWING! Are you okay?" Jason shouted as he saw his partner fell on the floor.
Nightwing didn't respond, he was unconscious.
Red Hood ran towards him, unaware of the sorceress casting a spell.
"Eb wkh srzhu L kdyh ehhq jlyhq,"
He tapped his fallen comrade. "Wake up man!"
"Pdb wkhvh wzr olyhv wkdu duh gliihuhqw,"
"I swear that old hag's casting a spell right now. You know, the old man's gonna get mad at me for this."
"Phprulhv eh wudqvihuuhg,"
"He's breathing, that's good."
"Dqg shuvshfwlyh eh dowhuhg!"
"I'm an idiot." Jason as he turned to face the sorceress but rather met a huge energy blast.
Jason screamed. He clutched his head as he fell to the ground. The sorceress started to fade, she was proud of her work.
Jason's vision began darkening.
"Sleep now, my child. And the next time you return to the land of the living, your whole perspective will change." The sorceress said as she disappeared completely.
Jason opened his eyes and noticed that he was still in the warehouse, he noticed that the sorceress was gone, and that his head was a little bit painful.
He groaned. "What happened?" He asked as he rubbed his shoulder.
He tried to look for Dick, who was probably unconscious. "Little wing!" He called out. "Little Wing where are you?!"
The place was a mess. Debris and crates were scattered across the floor.
Jason was very worried for his brother, and that was when he found...
... himself?
He approached the body. "What the..."
It was actually Dick, but something felt wrong here.
He looked at his suit and realized that he was in Jason's body.
But that was what was weird, he was in his own body, but he felt uncomfortable with it.
That was when memories hit him like a truck.
The memories were very confusing, it was like he had two sets of them.
He remembered growing up at the circus but at the same time growing up at the streets.
It was so confusing.
"RED HOOD!" It was Timmy, no, Replacement.
"RIGHT HERE!" He waved.
He decided not to tell them, because he was still Jason Todd, and if Jason can handle the streets, Jason can handle this.
"Why did you contact me Red Hood?" Zatanna asked.
Jason didn't know why either. He just had that urge to call her and spill everything. When he told her what happened, he asked if there was a way for things to go back to normal.
Zatanna told him that she knew a little bit abut things like this.
"So you mean to say, that the spell cannot be undone until both of the bodies are physically and spiritually awake?" Jason asked for clarification.
Zatanna nodded, "I'm sorry, that was the only information I got from the books. " She said as the Red Hood looked down. "It may cause negative results if one of you were unconscious."
Jason sighed. This was not good, but he can't show her that. She needs to know that she already gave him enough help.
"It's okay Zee, at least you tried." He said, giving her a comforting smile.
This was very frustrating for Jason. Zee? That was probably what Dick called her.
"Should I tell Bruce and the others?" She asked. "They might be able to help out?"
The sky started to darken and slowly, raindrops poured. Jason didn't move away for shelter when a single one dropped at his jacket.
The Red Hood shook his head. "No one has to know. Besides, Goldie's strong, he'll wake up in no time." I hope. He thought.
Zatanna sighed. "Look J-can I call you Jason?" The man nodded. "They're your family. They'll understand."
No they won't. Jason thought inwardly. But another small part of him said: Yes they would.
Jason looked at the manor. His eyes were filled with anger, then it was suddenly gone. "You don't know them like I do."
Zatanna bid farewell to him, telling him that she'll do more research, leaving Jason alone.
"So you are saying that you are still Jason," Tim said slowly. "But with Dick's memories?"
Jason nodded. "I still have my old ones though..." His voice trailed off.
"I'm sensing a contradiction here." Damian added, his arms folded across his chest.
Jason smiled. "Well you're adorable 'Lil-Sorry." He quickly said when he saw the boy's glare.
"Okay, do you memorize the spell Jay?" Tim asked, focused on the topic.
Jason pulled out a slip of paper from his pocket and showed it to Tim and Damian.
"Eb wkh srzhu L kdyh ehhq jlyhq,
Pdb wkhvh wzr olyhv wkdw duh gliihuhqw,"
Phprulhv eh wudqvihuuhg,"
Dqg shuvshfwlyh eh dowhuhg!"
Tim looked at Jason. "Did you find out the meaning of it?"
Jason shook his head. Tim looked back at the paper.
"It is definitely not another language." Tim thought aloud.
Damian thought for a moment. "Perhaps a code?"
Tim shrugged. "It might be. I'll check."
A MOMENT LATER...
"By the power I have been given,
May these two lives that are different,
Memories be transferred,
And perspective be altered!" Tim recited.
"The spell only gave us proof that they indeed swapped memories." Damian told them.
Jason was very quiet, which unnerved Tim and Damian.
"Is there a problem Todd?" Damian asked, slightly concerned.
"Nothing. I was just thinking about Dick."
"-Tt- Grayson will make it through," Damian assured him. "After all, he is a strong person."
They all wanted to believe Damian.
