Damian is sure a handful isn't he? Anywaysss


"Hey Alfred! What's up?" Nightwing's overly happy voice asked.

"Master Bruce wishes you to come to the Manor." Alfred replied while juggling the child.

"What for? I kinda have my hands full." Nightwing replied uneasily.

"I'll explain once you get here. But what could your hands possibly be full with?" Alfred crocked an eyebrow.

"Um..." Nightwing trailed off, as a loud shriek filled the room.


He was almost to the transport bay. Batman still couldn't shake the feeling he was forgetting something.

What could it possibly be?

He hoped Damian would be okay. He shouldn't be worrying so much, Dick could take care of him, right?

Then it hit him. "Oh No."


"JASON! GIVE IT BACK! DICK! HELP ME!" Nightwing covered his ears at the scream coming from No other than Tim Drake, The Red Robin.

"You see...Bats told me to take Tim with me on patrol in Bludhaven, something about him being busy with the league. And then Jason of all people decided to show up...and now they're trying to kill each other." Nightwing finished with a sigh.

"Oh goodness." Alfred said surprised. Bruce must of forgotten that he sent Tim to Nightwing. "Well, I have to leave on my important business soon, and Master Bruce asked me to leave something in your care for the weekend."

"Oh." It was probably nothing too big...he could just go get it and drag Tim and Jason with him. "I'll be there as soon as I can Alf. Hope you don't mind me bringing Tim and Jason with me."

"Not at all Master Dick. I'm sure it'll be delightful to see all three of you." Alfred glanced down at the finally sleeping baby.

"THERE'S NO WAY YOUR DRAGGING ME BACK TO GOTHAM!" Jason yelled at him.

This was going to be a long night.


When Batman arrived at the Watchtower, everyone was waiting for him.

"What took you?" Superman folded his arms.

"Family crisis." Batman answered shortly. Well It wasn't a lie.

"Now that we're all here..." Superman started but Batman started to drown him out, with his worrying about Damian.

He couldn't believe he had forgotten he had sent Tim to Nightwing. Now Nightwing was going to have to juggle them both, without Alfred. He never realized how much he depended on Alfred...

"And I think Batman should. What do you think Batman? Batman?" Superman interrupted his thoughts.

"What?" Batman snapped and Superman realized he wasn't paying any attention.

"Batman I don't know if you realize, but this very serious, and requires our full attention." Superman told him annoyed.

"I understand the task at hand Clark." Batman said ticked off. Superman glared back. For some reason he couldn't fathom, Batman decided to call him Clark when he was Superman, and Superman when he was Clark. It really annoyed him. That was probably the whole point.

"I'm sure you do." Superman said sarcastically.

"We need to focus. We don't have a lot of time-" Wonder Woman cut off when she also realized Batman clearly wasn't paying any attention. Batman had gotten up and started to type on the computers.

"Batman?.."

"We can continue in a moment. I have to check up on something." Batman responded as he dialed The Batcave.

It took a minute for whoever was at the cave to pick up, but when they did, Batman would be in for a bit of a surprise.


"Let go seriously! I can walk myself thank you very much!" Jason snapped as he ripped his arm out of Nightwing's grasp.

"Okay okay, just had to make sure you were coming." Nightwing brushed his hands free of whatever grime was on Jason's jacket.

"Like I wouldn't come after you blackmailed me into coming!" Jason crossed his arms.

Nightwing shrugged. "Desperate times call for desperate measures."

"As if." Jason gave him a glare remembering what his older 'brother' had threatened him with earlier.

"You can't make me go." Jason huffed.

"Well I can't just leave you here to reek havoc on Bludhaven either!" Nightwing argued.

"Puh-lease. The last thing I want to do is alert Bats of my whereabouts." Jason rolled his eyes as he watched Tim stand behind Nightwing fiddling with his cape.

A evil smirk lit up Nightwing's face. "Then you'll come with me or I'll tell Batman where you've been and exactly where he can find you."

"You wouldn't." Jason replied without a care.

"Try me." Nightwing smirked.

Jason stopped for a moment and looked at Nightwing seriously. He bit his lip...naw.

"You wouldn't." He repeated.

"Don't say I didn't warn you." Nightwing reached for his comm. "Nightwing to Bat-Mmpf!" Nightwing yelped as Jason knocked him over, stopping him from further contact.

"Okay fine! Lets just get the stupid whatever thing Batman wants you to take care of already!" Jason finally agreed.

"Great!" Nightwing stood, rather sprung, back up and took Tim's and Jason's hands and led them out, both protesting in the process.


At long last they made it too the Batcave Where Alfred was was waiting for them.

"It's good to see you Master Jason." Alfred smiled at him.

"Um, yeah yeah. Good to see you too Alf." Jason mumbled.

"Well I must be off, please do take good care of it." Alfred gestured to the bundle wrapped in blankets.

Nightwing scratched his head, but shrugged. "Okay...see you next week I guess."

Alfred nodded and motioned to the slightly warm cookies on the table. (which was a distraction of course. No one in the Batclan could stay away from Alfred's cookies.)

Jason lit up slightly at the sight of them, and Alfred caught this and winked at him as he picked up his pace and made his way out the Cave, out of sight.

"So what is this?..." Nightwing carefully nudged the bundle ignoring his brothers who were stuffing their faces.

Nightwing carefully picked it up, and unfolded the blanket to see what was inside. If Nightwing hadn't had a firm grip on it, he would of dropped it at the sight of it.

"Um...guys?..." Nightwing showed the sleeping baby to his brothers.

Jason and Tim looked over, confused by their older brother's sudden change in his voice. Their half munched cookies fell out of their mouths.

"BRUCE!"


The plot thickens!
