The more he thought about it, the more Jason came to the the conclusion that, 'Wow that's a lot of blood.' He just couldn't get the picture out of his head, of the state he left Dick in. Sighing, he changed direction and headed towards Dicks apartment: to make sure he wasn't dead or anything... because Bruce would be beyond pissed if he'd just killed his favourite son. It's not as if he was worried about Dick, but he'd like a head start if the Bat was out for revenge. Obviously.

Arriving, Jason was surprised to find the window ajar, but the trail of blood leading from him across Dicks lounge was more alarming. He followed it to what he assumed was the bathroom and listened. After hearing nothing but the sound of water, he knocked on the door.

"Room service." He joked, but got no reply, and the feeling of dread twisted in his gut,"I swear if you're naked..." Jason murmured before opening the door.

"Shit!" Jason exclaimed, taking in the elders state. Shivers wrecked his body, his skin was pale and clammy, with blue tinged lips. Throwing off his leather jacket and hood, Jason shut off the shower and pulled Dick out of the tub. Immediately, he checked the others pulse, he was unconscious but alive, although his heart rate was faster than normal. Grabbing a clean towel, he pressed it to the jagged knife wound, flinching at memory of inflicting it. Luckily, Dick had been leaning on his injured side, staunching the blood flow; yet under closer inspection, he could see the cut would require stitches. For now though, the most important thing now was to warm him up. Carefully, Jason peeled the blue and black suit away from Dicks shaking body, only to reveal a wider colour spectrum, like patchwork, across his chest. A quick check revealed no broken ribs and so the younger carried on removing the wet material. Stripped to nothing but his boxers, Jason picked Dick up and laid him on the bed, placing the ready hot water bottles under his arms and between his legs, to increase Dicks core temperature. Next, he grabbed the first aid kit from where he spotted it in the bathroom earlier, to disinfect the cut and stitch it up. It may not have been his neatest work, but it would hold. Jason carried on automatically, trying to ignore the reality, that he caused all the damage he was now trying to fix.

With Dick patched up to the best of his abilities, Jason tried to wake him up. Eventually the blue eyes opened partly, only slightly relieving the younger. His gaze was glassy and unfocused, lined with pain.

" R-roy?" Dick asked, his speech slurred.

"Huh?- No, It's Jason." He replied, his brow creased in concern. A sudden flash of pain, flickered across the others features, and the first robin let out a strangled whimper.

"Woah, erm- calm down. What's wrong? " Jason tried to comfort Dick, like the older had him, many years ago.

"Jasons dead." Dick answered weakly.

"What are you talking about? Im right here, I came back." Jason questioned confused. Dicks voice was shaky and slurred,

"You're not real, h-he, you died... It was my fault; I didn't save him. I couldn't save you." He finished breathlessly.

"Firstly I am real, I-I did this to you... and secondly- that night was no ones fault other than my own. I never.." Jason swallowed, unable to carry on, "I'm sorry Dick." His words fell on deaf ears however, as Dick had already fallen back into unconsciousness. Sighing, Jason stood and looked towards the open door, contemplating whether to leave or not. It didn't take long to come to the conclusion that it was dangerous to leave Dick on his own, in his current state, so he decided to stay until golden boy was lucid enough to kick him out. Another bout of shivers coursed through Dicks body, and Jason gave an annoyed huff before taking off his damp clothing and joining the elder. Immediately the shivers died down and Dick unconsciously edged closer to Jasons chest. Being careful not to hurt him further, Jason lay one arm across Dicks stomach... just to make sure he didn't fall off the bed. Obviously.

Soon, the steady thumping of Dicks heart lulled him to sleep, and for once the nightmares stayed away.

Dick had drifted in and out of consciousness for a while, until finally he woke around 1am to Jason pulling his leather jacket on.

"J-Jay?" Dick murmured, his throat sore and voice hoarse. The dark figure tensed at the break in the silence and turned to face the older.

"You're up, good." He stated.

"What happened?" Dick questioned, not slurring as much as earliar, but still slightly disorientated.

"What's the last thing you remember?" Jason asked,

"You slamming my head into a brick wall." he lied easily, he remembered most of the night, although some bits were more blurred than others. The younger just nodded and turned to leave.

"Where are you going jaybird?" Jason froze at the sound of his old nickname, a mixture of emotions threatening to overwhelm him.

"Away." He answered, refusing to look at Dick: he couldn't risk changing his mind.

"Why?" The boy wonder continued,

To protect you, Jason wanted to say, but instead settled for,

"I'm a danger to those around me, it's in every ones best interests that I go."

"Littlewing, if this is about the fight-"

"Its not just this fight; its all the ones before and every one after, that end with good, innocent people hurt, because of me...unless I go now." Jason cut him off, his shoulders hunched and fists clenched tightly.

"It's not like that Jay, please! I don't care about the fights, just don't leave, it'll be okay."

"You can't just forgive me Dick! I almost killed you, you have a severe concussion; a minor case of hypothermia; two cracked ribs, the rest bruised; and a knife wound that required 23 stitches, and who the hell knows what would have happened if I hadn't found you!" Jason exploded. After a pause to catch his breath, he continued, his expression solemn, "I'm drowning in darkness and dragging anyone near me down too- that's why I have to leave. So don't tell me that everything's going to be fine, when the truth is I'm doing more harm than good... Goodbye Dick."

"Jay wait!" Dick pleaded, trying to sit up as the Red Hood exited his apartment,

"I can't lose you again."
