Damien had run after her and Todd so did Dick while the other three had stay, Bruce thought this was the right decision, he couldnt have her on the streets were Jason could appear and corrupt her mind. He couldnt risk it, Barbara felt bad while Tim headed off on patrol, he didnt want to be around this again.
The two had split off as they couldnt find her, Dick had stopped when he noticed Alfred closing the front door and it his hand was a letter.
"Alfred?"he called.
Seeing the butler's face said it all and this caused Dick to collapse onto his knee's, Damien had just turned the corner when he saw it and ran to his older brother asking what was the matter, at the same time Alfred walked over, Dick looked up at the butler.
"She's gone again hasnt she"he said.
It took a simple nod to break Damien's heart, Alfred held out the letter to the boys before walking away, he wanted to be by himself. Getting up, Dick marched back to the batcave were Bruce and Barbara still standing, hearing the door they both looked up to see Damien frowning while Dick was waving a letter in the air.
"Look at what you done now"he shouted.
"What?"she asked.
"Dear Everyone, it has finally come to me that I will never fit into this family, all I ever tried to do was make you happy but it was never enough so like last time, Im leaving again, if im not welcomed then I shall take my leave. Dont look for me or Todd because you wont find us, Stephanie"
"No"Barbara whispered.
"Yes, you did everything to keep them here but in doing that you drove them out, well done Bruce"Dick shouted throwing the letter at Bruce before leaving.
"Damien"Bruce started.
"No"he replied taking after Dick.
Bruce picked up the letter and watched as his two sons left the room, turning to Barbara he asked her to leave and she nodded. Sitting down, he let out a sigh. He never wanted to drive her out of the family, she was like a daughter he never had, Barbara was never really one but Stephanie was and he had done it again, hitting the desk with his fist.
He vowed to find her and make everything alright again.
But where would he look, Bruce had never found the location of Jason and just gave up.
Glad that she had gotten away, she couldnt deal with the pain anymore, if Jason had meant what he said that night were everything seemed to crumble then she and Todd had a place with him and the other two.
Stephanie pulled the suitcases along as she carried Todd, the skies were dark, just like before but this time she knew were to go. Todd was quiet but he was smiling, his chance of having a family were now coming true and soon he would meet his daddy, face to face.
The building finally came into sight and she used the entrance that she had used in the past, placing Todd down, she took hold of his hand and looked straight ahead while he counted the numbers.
"Im going to meet daddy"he said excited.
"Indeed and uncle and aunty will be there"she replied.
"Yay"he squealed.
They were reaching the top fall so she pulled him behind her and grabbed one of the suitcases then lifted it up. She heard the arrow pierce the thing so she threw it and hearing the name Roy called out, it made her grin and she stepped out.
"Is this the way you treat your friend?"she called out with a smile.
"Stephanie!"Starfire squealed as she dropped Roy and ran to her friend.
The two girls hugged then they turned around when they heard the footsteps, Starfire let go of Stephanie and picked up Tood before moving over to Roy who was now sitting up rubbing his head after being attacked by a flying suitcase. Jason wanted to know what all the nose was about but when he heard Stafire scream that name, he got out of his chair and moved to were everyone else was.
And there she was, standing right before him.
Not letting a second go by, Jason ran over to her and brought her into a hug to which she wrapped her arms around him. Stephanie missed this man so much, she was glad that she decided to come back to this place, to a place that she was welcomed.
"Stephanie"he whispered into her ear.
This made shivers go down her back, he always had this affect on her, her eyes closed and taking in his deep erotic smell. Stephanie whispered his name and this made him tighten his grip on her.
Pulling back she smiled up at him and he kissed her forehead before turning around when he heard someone call daddy.
There he was, Todd, his son.
Starfire placed the little boy down and Todd shot off like a rocket towards Jason, it was the first meeting of son and father. Like the others had told him, Todd exactly looked like him. The little boy couldnt be more happy, he finally got to meet his daddy and his family was now complete. Jason picked him up and held him tight, not ever wanting to let go and then he pulled Stephanie into the embrace.
He had them back and Bruce had lost.
"Im so glad you came home"Jason said with a smile.
"Me too daddy but they did mean things to mommy"Todd replied digging his head into Jason' shoulder.
"What mean things?"Jason asked turning to Stephanie.
"They replaced me with Barbara again and they told me I was unfit for the role, just like last time"she explained as she sat.
The other female wrapped her arms around Stephanie and whispered gentle words, Jason frown as he looked at them. Just like last time, Bruce would never learn however this time he would not lose her like he did in the past. Jason saw Roy look at him and he nodded back which made the other guy grin, placing Todd down, he got onto his knee's in font of Stephanie.
"You dont need them, you've got us"he said stroking her face.
"Thank you"she replied.
After moving the suitcases near Jason's bed, Stephanie began to prepare dinner for them as she had done it in the past but this time Starfire was next to her learning for she wanted to impress Roy. Todd was showing his daddy some pictures he drew of himself next to Red Hood and they were firing guns at bad people which made Jason laugh, he took the picture and hung it up for everyone to see.
"Good job little man"he said.
"Thank you, are you really Red Hoo?"Todd asked.
"Of course, come im show you"
Jason picked up Todd and showed him the room were he kept everything to do with Red Hood, his son was amazed by everything and it made him really excited then he spotted a glass case that held a dress in it with boots and a helmet just like his daddy's.
"Whats that?"Todd asked.
"Thats your mommy's costume when she comes out with us"Jason explained.
"Really?"
"Yeah, she was amazing when she wore that"
"Dinner!"Stephanie called.
Todd wriggled out of his daddy's arms and fled the room and Jason ran after him, he had missed Stephanie's cooking. Roy could cook but it wasnt as good, him and Starfire couldnt at all, they even some how burnt water which was impossible but they made it possible. Sitting down, he watched as Stephanie served up the chicken before sitting down next to him, she helped cut up Todd's chicken.
"Mommy guess what?"
"What?"she asked.
"Daddy showed me your costume"he replied.
"You still have it?"Stephanie asked as she looked at Jason.
"I couldnt bare to part with it"Jason answered as he took her hand.
Todd then told them all that she should go out in it again which she replied maybe another day and that made everyone else laugh. Once dished were done, Roy and Jason got into their uniforms, the red head said goodbye to Starfire while Jason picked up Todd and told the little man that he would bring him back a gift which Stephanie hit him.
"No, you are not bringing a body part for our son"she said,
"But mommy"both boys whined but she shook her head and kissed Jason before walking away.
"Dont worry ill bring you back one, our little secret"Jason whispered to Todd as he placed the boy down.
"Good luck daddy"
Soon both men were gone and it left the girls and Todd so Stephanie took this time to bath her little boy and Starfire wanted to help. Her son though didnt want to so he made it a mission for the girls to catch him, Starfire thought it would be easy but Stephanie had warned her friend. An hour later, Starfire was running around the room looking everywhere then she turned to Stephanie who was behind her, they could heard Todd's laughter.
"I told you"Stephanie said with a smile.
"I shall catch you Todd"Starfire called as she smiled before running around.
Jason and Roy had made it to the bar and their target was in sight so Jason nodded to Roy and he watched as his best friend walked over to the man. Kevin was enjoying a nice cold beer when he felt a hand grab his shirt and pulled him from his stool, he cried out but no one else moved for their attention was to the door so he turned his head and saw Red Hood then he looked up to see Roy.
The two men had taken Kevin to the alley way and he was scared.
"What do you want? Ive got money please dont hurt me"he begged.
"We are not here to hurt you, thanks to you I got my little family back and now we want you to bring the bat to us"Red Hood explained looking at his gun.
