Dick slammed his fist into Bruce's jaw, slamming Bruce to the floor.

"How dare you not tell me he was back, HOW DARE YOU", Dick yelled.

Jason was shocked, "Dick what are you doing?"

Dick caught his first sight of the boy in five years and stumbled back, Jason had changed, and his hair was longer, he was taller, more muscular, but still has those same green eyes.

Dick ran to Jason, pulling him in the tightest hug. Tears were forming in Dick's eyes. Jason just stood there.

"Uh it's nice to see you too Dick"

"I thought we'd lost you Jay." he stumbled the words out of his mouth

Jason slowly removed himself out of Dick's airtight hug. Dick turned his attention back to Bruce and sadness and happiness turned to anger.

"I only knew he was alive for a week Dick"

"So its bullshit Bruce, knowing you, you would have never told me"

"Now that's not true Dick, I was going to tell you"

"I'm outta here", Jason turned to the door opening it.

"Jason, look I'm sorry don't leave", Dick pleaded.

"No, I can't deal with this entire family bullshit drama okay, I'm gathering my things and leaving", Jason started his treck upstairs.

"Jason you are doing no such thing, you're injuries haven't even began to fully start healing." Bruce started up the stairs after him.

"Try and stop me Wayne."

Jason reached the top of the stairs and was stopped by Alfred.

"Young man there is certainly no way you are leaving this household without having something to eat"


Jason scarfed down the food like he haven't eaten in weeks.

Dick sat across from him; Bruce had gone down to the Batcave.

Dick had been wondering how to start a certain conversation with Jason, any way he started it, it was going to be awkward.

"Is it true Jason?"

Jason put down the food.

"Is what true?"

"You've been killing people haven't you Jay."

Jason practically sneered at Dick, "THAT'S NONE of your BUSINESS"

"Yes it is my business okay! You're a part of this family and when I hear my dear friend; my brother is killing people for the name of justice-"

Jason started laughing when Dick said he was a part of this family.

"Cut the bullshit Dick, this is no family, how can you call this a family when you practically hate Bruce."

"Bruce and I may have our conflicting issues but he's the closest thing I've had as a father Jason and I love him no matter what."

"Why do you think killing criminals is the way to justice Jason?"

"Let's look at the shining example shall we , let's look at the man who killed me , who's still in Arkham , who always breaks out, who always kills and creates havoc , when he should of been put down like a sick dog years ago. Some criminals are beyond rehabilitation Dick; they need to be squashed out."

"Everyone is capable of being rehabilitated Jason...even you"

Jason slammed his fist down on the dining table"

"Oh, there's something wrong with me Dick? I'm not up to your and Bruce's standards?"

Dick instantly regretted what he said

"I didn't mean it like that-"

"Bullshit, it's exactly what you meant Dick."

"Jason ... What happened to the fifteen year old I knew?"

"HE'S DEAD OKAY! HE ISN'T GOING TO COME BACK DICK, SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU!"

Jason walked out of the room, Dick put his hand on Jason's shoulder, Jason grabbed Dick's arm and threw him over his body. Dick landed in a heap on the floor.

"Bruce and I want to help-"

"NO ONE CAN HELP ME DICK OKAY! LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE"

Jason ran upstairs, grabbed his things, grabbed the motorbike keys and rushed down the stairs.

Dick was sitting against a wall.

"Before you walk out of that door Jay know this, no matter what choices you make, no matter what you do, I will always love you kid."

Jason stood there, fighting the tears in his eyes.

"DONT LIE TO ME DICK!"

He turned and exited the Bruce Wayne castle.


"Why'd you let him leave Dick?"

"Bruce, I wasn't going to force him to stay here."

"Dick we need to find him as soon as possible."

Dick rolled his eyes, "He'll be fine Bruce."

"No, Dick you don't understand. I had Gotham News on the Tv...THE JOKER HAS ESCAPED ARKHAM."
