Second Chapter is now up

Big thank you's to monsta-starr and Firework's Feelings for the reviews.

I love Batman and Stephanie Brown has been my favourite Character alongside with Jason Todd so I thought I could write something.

The plot line is Stephanie returning to Gotham with a surprise for the Wayne family.

xx

I dont own any of the characters.

I hope you enjoy it

Stephanie had turned on the tv and then handed the remote to Todd who smiled back at her, still in his hands was the picture of Jason, the small boy had asked to keep and Alfred nodded with a smile. With a quiet sigh, she kissed his head and took her tea into the kitchen were Alfred and Damien were waiting, the two still had some questions for, closing the door but before she told her little boy that she would be back which he replied with a happy ok.

"Stephanie..."Alfred said trying to find the right words but Damien went straight into it.

"Jason is the father isnt he"

"Yeah"she replied.

The youngest member of the Wayne family asked her how did it all happen, she would of joked that he knew how but this was a serious moment and not a time for jokes so she explained to him that the moment Barbs took the batgirl uniform back was what caused all the events.

"How?"Alfred asked.

"After I ran out that day, I took to Gotham's street. However I was attacked, not in the best state they overpowered me and i could of died but..."

"But Jason saved you"Damien finished.

"Yes, from that day, he took care of me. At first I thought he just wanted to sleep with me but Jason told me... well I heard it when I was asleep that somehow he and I connected on a level that you and the others couldnt"she replied sitting down.

"What did he mean by that?"

"She died as a Robin like he did"Alfred had answered for her.

Nodding, she finished off her tea and walked to the sink, placing it down she looked outside the window and watched the snow fall. How she wished for her life to be simple, Damien wanted to comfort her but Alfred shook his head, he knew that Stephanie needed to explain this alone, she had gone through it all alone for the past 5 years.

She was a big girl and that made him smile.

"After I was better, he asked what had happened and I told him, the next night he came back bloody and bruised"

"The same night Tim and Bruce came back looking worst for wear"

She tended to his wounds as she felt to do so because Jason had taken care of her, offered her a place to stay and Stephanie was so grateful because of it.

The conversation of how he got that way never came up for she didnt want to know but now hearing Alfred, she knew and it made her smile.

He wanted to get revenge on the two men that hurt her emotionally.

"Then what Stephanie?"Damien asked.

"I stayed with him, a few times I helped him because I got bored and that when I soon became known as..."

"Mrs Red Hood"He replied back with a smile.

Nodding she turned around with a smile, Stephanie remember telling Jason that she was so bored staying home, her injuries were all healed. He told her that he couldnt go out with a mask and he knew she wouldnt with the bat mask, she frowned and turned to the bathroom.

But he had grabbed her and turned her around, his was smiling and she could see he had an idea. Next thing she knew, Stephanie had a uniform provided by Jason, consisting of black high heels and a short black dress that showed off her curves, the last feature always made her smile.

It was Jason first Red Hood helmet.

No one knew it was her and that was fun but she knew that the bat family could figure it out, soon the newspaper had given her a name which made her and Jason laugh. Things had been so fun between them but it all went wrong, how she missed him. Damien had noticed the smile had turned into a frown, he moved next to her and wrapped an arm around. The bulter took this as a moment to make some more tea, the younger man told her that she could take a break from telling them but she shook her head.

"Soon we started getting closer than normal, it went from being two friends to two people who really cared about each other. If I got hurt on our outings, he would kill the man and I did things that I never thought I could do if they upset him. We werent two people but one that had two halves"she sadi gently.

Alfred poured the milk in and walked over to her, he handed it to her with a smile. Stephanie was in love and just hearing it from her, Jason had finally found love as well. It touched the old man's heart, she took a sip of her drink and placed it down, just telling them this was upsetting her for it was bring back the emotion's she tried to hide. Damien stroked her arm, she never seemed to have an easy life but she was a brave soldier, Todd had a great mother.
"Stephanie you can stop, we don't need to know anymore"

"But you do"she answered.

"If its what you want"Alfred replied.

"We became a couple after a few weeks and it was the best time of my life, it was like I was Robin again flying free but it all came to a stop when I found out I was pregnant with Todd"

"Was it bad?"Damien asked.

"No far from it, it was my chance to have a clean start, a family but the night I left, Jason and I got into an argument because I wanted him to leave the fighting for Todd couldnt have a life like that but Jason refused to leave it so I took the choice to go"

With the argument done, she had no choice but to leave, Stephanie had no one to turn to so she had decided to start the new life alone but that worked out well. Damien asked her what date she left and she replied the 13th of June, he moved from his spot and ran out the door, she turned to Alfred about to ask why but he shook his head and told her there was something she needed to see.

How could they had not put it together.

Damien returned with an newspaper and handed it to her, the date read 13th of June 5 years ago. The main article was about a mass murder of thugs all over Gotham and the only one to be involved was Red Hood, she knew his did this before but the number count was so high far to high, she looked back up.

"What..."

"Stephanie I think he found out you were gone and it broke him"Damien explained.

Now this made her feel horrible, what had she done. The newspaper was taken from her and set to the side, Alfred explained to her that every year on that day, Jason went on a murdering spree.

The pain never went away for Red Hood.

"I never wanted to hurt him, I had to think about Todd's safety"she said.

"I know and it was for the best"Damien replied.

Soon they heard Todd call out to them so Stephanie opened the door to see her little boy jumping up and down with a smile on his face, Damien wanted to know why and looked at the tv. On the tv was a news report on a recent atttack from Red Hood, Damien and Alfred turned to Stephanie who sat down while Todd climbed onto her lap.

"Todd why dont you tell them" she said.

"I love watching Red Hood, he's so cool, I want to be like him"

The young man soon burst out into laughter and sat next to Stephanie this shocked Alfred and her but he turned to Todd with a smile.

"Good because Uncle D think he's cool as well"Damien replied with a big smile.

Todd to look at Stephanie, she nodded and this caused the small boy to grin. He jumped up from her lap and into his arms, Todd remembering his mommy telling him that he had uncle's in Gotham so when the young man known as Dame, well he couldnt pronounce his name right told him that the photo was of his older brother and Todd's daddy, he placed everything together.

"So you want to be like him?"

"Yeah, I want the Red Hood as well, I beat up the boys in school like him"Todd said excited.

Finally, Damien smiled, Todd didnt just have Stephanie's ears and nose but her personality when he was happy but when he was quiet and mad, it looked like he had the Wayne genes. She smiled at the scene and couldnt help but rub her neck when Damien and Alfred looked at her with questioning eyes about the beating boys.

"Todd got picked on a lot-"she started.

"They also said nasty things about Mommy so I kicked their asses"Todd cut her.

"He got kicked out and no one else would take him, there was only one place that would accept that and enjoy it"

"Gotham"Alfred said smiling.

"Well, you did good Todd, no on should say nasty things about mommy only uncle D is allowed"

"Hey!"

"No Ill beat you up then"Todd replied.

Laughter rang through the living room, Stephanie knew Damien would never do that but she could see he was enjoying being an uncle. Things were starting to look up for her and Todd, Gotham had welcomed her back with opened arms. Alfred soon left them so he could prepare her a room to stay and she was very grateful to Alfred, he was such a kind man.

The younger man smiled down at his nephew, he was so much like Jason and he knew his brother would of been proud then the question came to his mind.

Was she going to tell Jason now that she was back?

She knew what they were both thinking but first she had to get through Bruce and the other uncle's suddenly she heard the door open and voices followed after, they were all there and it was time to be brave and stand up but she was so afraid however feeling a hand grip hers, she looked at Damien who looked ready fro battle.

He was always there for her, nodding, she squeezed his hand and stood up then picked up Todd as she turned the tv off.

Damien had let go of her hand and walked over to the other, she couldnt see them yet but she could hear him greeting them.

"Alfred we had such a g..."

First it was Barbs followed by the three Wayne brothers, Dick looked surprised while Tim had his mouth hanging open.

"Why have you gone quiet you lot?"Bruce asked as he stepped around the corner.

The younger brother walked to her side and finally the man she looked up to as a father would never trusted or believed her came into view, the big Batman, Bruce Wayne. She took a deep breath as she looked at them all, seeing their faces meant that know one forgot her, the memories of Stephanie Brown lived strong.

"Hi"she said.

"Stephanie?"
