Sorry for not updating recently. Enjoy. I own only Risionis.

Break Line

Bruce invited me back to the Manor after Jason ran off. I wanted to go after Jason, but Bruce threaten to knock me out if I did. Which is how I ended up asleep in the back of the Batmobile. The glare that I sent Bruce when I woke up rivaled the Bat-glare that Batman had often sent my father. I sat up between Tim and Damian and watched the rain outside pour on the city. Nightwing turned around and smiled at me. I growled in response. His smile was washed away in my anger.

"Where are we going?" I snarled. I was not happy with any of them. I wanted to go find Jason and try to get him to trust me again. Nightwing looked at Bruce for permission before he answered my question.

"We got a report about Red Hood from downtown(read: police station). He's down in Black Mask's territory blowing up buildings."

Break Line

I wanted to go get Jason as soon as we pulled up to the burning building, but Batman didn't want the police to see me. I sat in the Bat-Mobile with Damian. He was silent as midnight on Antarctica. Trust me, I know. I watched as the others talked to the police and then came back to Damian and me.

"What? Where's Jason?" I asked, terrified, as soon as they were close enough so that the police wouldn't hear.

"Jason's not here. He left about twenty minutes ago. The police don't know where he went. We're going back to the cave," Batman said, not looking happy. He wanted Jason to come back, too.

Break Line

We were sitting in the Bat-Cave when Jason came in. He looked at me and then walked upstairs, using the grandfather clock exit. I sighed. Guess he didn't feel the same as I did about trusting one another again. I caught Dick and Tim sending me some pitying looks. I got up and followed Jason upstairs. I exited the cave heard Jason's bedroom door slamming upstairs. I hurried up the steps and soon arrived in front of Jason's door. It was a heavy, dark oak door that seem to represent the man that lived inside.

I knocked on Jason's door and got no answer at first. Then Jason hollered through the door, "Dick, go away! I don't want to talk about it!"

"Jason, it's not Dick. It's me. Can we talk? Please Jason answer me," I begged after I heard no response. Finally, his door opened slowly and Jason's face appeared. His face was covered in bruises and cuts that none of us had noticed before because of his helmet. I raised my hand to his face and rubbed lightly one of the worst bruises on his cheek. He pulled my hand away from his face and grabbed the other one and held both of them in his own.

"Jason, what happened?"

"I-I. I was mad that you never told me about your father and - and I got into a couple of fights in the Narrows. The building that I blew up was a drug dealer's hideout. No one was hurt and I left really fast before the GCPD showed up," Jason stuttered out, talking as fast as he could. Maybe he wanted to work things out more than I originally thought.

"Jason, it's okay. I know what my father did to you and I knew what would most likely happen when I told you. I just sorry that we couldn't blow up that hideout together. That would of been fun. I always did like blowing things up, but I don't think Bruce was happy about the building being blown up-"

"That's right. I'm not happy about it. Jason, I know you were upset, but why did you blow up a building for no reason?" Bruce asked, walking up behind us, making me wonder how long he was standing there.

"I had a reason. That was a drug dealer's hideout and no one was inside and no firefighters got hurt," Jason said, stepping away from me, releasing my hands. I stood beside him while Bruce stood in front of both of us.

Bruce's towering figure seemed to dwarf my own while Jason's easily matched Bruce's in power and strength. I realized how lucky Gotham was to have these two men and their family to protect itself. I don't think that many Gothamites realized what I did. They might fear Batman and his Bat-Family, but they also needed Batman to protect them from what they couldn't fight.
