Chapter Text

Tim was in the middle of looking into a cold case of a suspected trafficking ring, in the Batcave. When a flash of light interrupted him.

"I am telling you, they are finally taking my advice" A girl commented.

Tim turned around in his chair in front of the Bat-computer. And spotted the same 3 teenagers that got him back home 2 days ago.

"This doesn't look like Gotham man" Tucker said.

"Why did we end up in a cave?" Sam questioned.

"Well I told it to bring us to Tim" Danny explained.

And naturally that's when Bruce comes down. Without his Batman suit. And looks between Tim and there unexpected guests.

"Oh wow, you got a cool set up man" Tucker complement when he spotted Tim.

"Red Robin?" Bruce asked sternly. (Tim was in his Red Robin costume)

All eyes went from Tim to Bruce.

"We still ended up in the wrong place" Sam complained crossing her arms.

"Well now that we are here we could ask Tim for directions" Danny reassured her.

"Hey, Bruce theses are the guys that brought me home" Tim answered the unspoken Question.

"What is your purpose here?" Bruce asked.

"We came here to explore Gotham" Tucker Explained.

"And meet Aliens!" Danny charms in excitedly.

"Who is this guy Tim and why do you live in a cave?" Sam asked gesturing to the cave around them.

"Now you are rude, people can live where ever they want" Danny defended.

Tim laughed awkwardly "This is Bruce my Dad, Bruce this is Danny, Sam and Tucker" Tim introduced them.

"You really don't look like the king of the Infinite Realms" Bruce commented.

"Ancients I knew it" Danny cursed.

Which caused both Tim and Bruce confusion.

"Don't worry we will figure it out when we are back" Tucker reassured.

"Enough with this king stuff, we are on vacation!" Sam exclaimed as she drags her two worrywarts to Tim. "Now can you show us the way to Gotham?"

Tucker took a closer look at the Bat-computer. "maybe we should also look into some technology, while we are here"

"Hm thank you for bringing Tim back" Bruce thanked, trying to join back into the conversation. He was also now standing by Tim's side.

"No problem dude" Tucker said.

While Danny looked embarrassed.

Sam yanked Tim out of his chair. "Come on" Sam sounded impatiently.

"How long will you be here?" Bruce questioned.

"Well we could be here for a week if the time dilation is what we think it is" Tucker explained.

"Time dilation?" Bruce asked.

"Not important, What's is important is to meet the aliens" Danny declared with a proud look.

Tucker and Sam chuckled.

Tim sighed "As long as I don't have to go through one of those Lazarus portals again sure" Tim relented.

"Lazarus Portals?" Bruce echoed horrified.

"Don't worry there are none as far as we are aware of. Only Vlad and Danny's Parents have one" Sam reassured.

Tim just nodded and made his way to the elevator. But was stopped by Bruce. They look at each other in a silent conversation.

"Would you like to stay with us until you head home?" Bruce inquired.

"No, you seem like a rich guy" Sam immediately shot him down.

"Yeah, you got a point" Danny agreed rubbing the back of this neck nervously.

"And if you let your son live in a cave, it doesn't look good for you" Tucker commented.

Tim couldn't help but chuckle at there misunderstanding. "No I have a room upstairs"

"What's so wrong with being wealthy?" Bruce looked bewildered.

"Are you sure you aren't kept here against your will?" Danny whispered into his ear.

"I am going to change out of the suite" Tim decided. Ignoring Danny's comment completely.

When he came back out of the changing room. It was to the side of Bruce arguing about the goodness of billionaires. And him getting berated by the teen's.

He saved Bruce form more arguments by snatching Danny and dragging him to the elevator. As soon as the others noticed they followed. And up they went to the manor.

"I won't have much time to show you around and you should be careful. Gotham is known to be the most crime written city in this world" Tim explained.

"Can't be worst then ghosts" all 3 said at the same time.

"Also we checked when I got back and for some reason I am claimed by the King of the infinite Realms" Tim informed them.

"I don't know how to remove that, sorry" Danny apologized.

"It's fine for now, just wanted to let you know" Tim responded. Tim knew that he shouldn't ask, but was curious. "Are you?"

Danny groaned "it was an accident, I didn't want that stupid title"

"From what I got, it's a powerful position" Tim stated.

"Dude, just stop" Tucker complained.

"We don't need another power hungry person" Sam almost hissed.

Tim held his hand up in surrender as the elevator pinged open.

"That was not my intention. I- was just curious" Tim looked away shamefully.

They stepped out into a manor. They looked around and approved the style. But still refused to stay overnight. So he showed them the direction to Gotham and offered to drive them there. All of them agreed and of they went.

Tim also told them about the tourist stops and gave them a bunch more warnings about rouges.

"Danny I think Tim is a Detective" Tucker commented as soon as he left them to there own devices.

"Or part of some villain group, I mean the cave thing is like a perfect evil layer" Sam agreed.

"Do you guys think he is in danger?" Danny asked worriedly.

"No, he is just a rich guy" Sam explained.

"Okay, so were do we go first?" Tucker asked.

"the botanical garden. It's closest to here" Sam commented

"We need a map" Danny complained after they walked around for almost an hour.

Gotham seemed just so repetitive with its buildings and no signs of where to go. So They were lost.

"Maybe flying would help" Tucker comments.

"No!" Sam shouted.

"Why they already know that Danny's basically king?" Tucker reasons.

Before Sam could explain how bad of an idea that was. They got approached by someone with a scar on the side of his face.

"You seem lost, where are you going to?" The Guy asked.

"Oh the botanical garden, we heard from a friend that it's nearby here somewhere" Danny smiled at the definitely not suspicious guy in front of them.

"Oh yeah, I could lead you to it" The guy gave a menacing smile in return.

"Just pointing out the direction is fine" Tucker interrupted.

"But I insist, you guys are new around Gotham right?" The guy questioned

Danny nodded and with that they followed him.

"Danny, be ready. He seems suspicious" Sam whispered to Danny.

"Hey Mister, would you have a map of Gotham?" Danny inquires.

Which makes him stop walking.

"Oh yeah, but I don't have it on me right now" The guy commented.

They were let into an ally way and then there guy stopped turning around fully.

"Eh this doesn't look like a botanical garden" Sam pointed out.

The guy chuckled "you are a naive bunch, in Gotham you can't just trust everyone"

And with that said they were ambush. Multiple people jumped out with knives and bats. Coming to attack them.

Sam, Tucker and Danny immediately got into fighting positions. And punched and shot at there attackers.

"Wow those guys are weak" Danny marveled.

"Well what did you expect they are no ghosts" Sam chuckles.

"Who the fuck are you!?" The last one who's not knocked out screeches.

"Why do you care?" Tucker asked holding his ecto gun lazily.

"I guess, mom and dad miscalculated humans from other worlds" Danny mused.

As Tucker knocked the last one out.

"I still have a creep stick if the gun hadn't worked" Sam commented.

With that they walked on.

"I guess this is the poor Area of the city" Tucker commented looking up from his PDA.

"Yeah, eh guys I think we entered a hunt" Danny rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"Huh maybe the ghost here can help us" Sam mused.

"Yeah that's a good idea" Danny nodded.

"So how exactly are you going to find aliens here?" Sam questioned after another turn.

"Hm, oh Ancients I forgot to ask Tim that he should asked if they have time" Danny realized.

"Have you ever asked the infinite map to take you to aliens?" Tucker inquired.

"Oh that's brilliant!" Danny shouted in delight.

"Hey guys that looks like a restaurant, should we try it out?" Sam asked.

"Yes all this walking makes me hungry" Tucker complained.

Danny chuckles. As they walk into the Bat Burger of Crime Alley.

"Ancients we are lucky" Sam commented.

"Why?" Danny questioned.

"My money works here, since this is a different world from ours I had my doubts" Sam explained before digging into her salad.

"This world uses the same internet connection as ours" Tucker chimes in with his mouth half full.

"Have you found anything interesting?" Danny asked.

"I searched up Red Robin and get this. He is part of the bats and birds of Gotham. Vigilantes that solves crimes" Tucker explained.

Both Sam's and Danny's eyes widened in surprise.

"Wow, good that we brought him back then" Danny smiled before biting into his bat burger.

"How many vigilantes are here in Gotham?" Sam questioned.

"As of jet 4 are confirmed, but speculation are that there are more" Tucker responded and took another bite of his Red-Ham sandwich.

"Hey can we get on one of the roofs again? I wanna see the gargoyles again" Sam requested.

"Sure" Danny nodded "maybe we find the ghost faster that way"

Chapter Text

Jason was confused. He could feel that something entered his territory. Which never happened before. It angered the pit inside of him immensely.

He was in the middle of checking over his gun's and amo, when he felt it. He thought he was starting an other pit rage episode. But it was more urging him to find and beat up who ever entered without permission.

He succeeded in ignoring the feeling for about an hour. before he had enough of it and gave in. That's when he came across a group of teenagers on top of the rooftop of a convenient store.

The pit quieted immediately. As soon as he landed and he hid besides the roof access door.

"It's so strange that we need to search for them" The Teen that looks like perfect adoption bait complained.

"Yeah normally, the owners get super mad and attack you" the girl wearing all black comments.

"Maybe it's like different world different customs" the boy with glasses who looked into a very old phone (Jason guessed) said.

Jason needed to find out who they are. They can't be just normal civilians if they could quiet his pit this much. Just by being around them.

"Eh we could try asking around again" Adoption bait said after shrugging.

"I wonder which part of town is were the gargoyles where" the girl questioned. As she looked out over the roofs.

"There always the option of just flying" Glasses commented.

"For the last time no, only the vigilantes know about it. We don't need to broadcast his status to the entire city" the girl reasons.

"Sam is right Tuck, it would only cause unwanted attention" Adoption bait agreed.

"It wouldn't if-" Tucker cut himself of when Jason phone started to ring.

All the teen's looked in his direction. While Jason fumble to decline the call from Dick.

"That's not cool dude" Tucker said after he finally got the ringing to stop.

Why the fuck was he feeling nervous!? Jason thought.

"Is he just another creep?" Sam asked.

"No I think he is the ghost" Adoption bait comments wide eyed.

Both teen's looked between Jason and The Adoption bait.

"Finally took you long enough dude" Tucker told Jason.

"What?" They were waiting for HIM!?

"Wow you look so alive" Sam commented.

"Hello, we wanted to ask you for directions and maybe for a map of Gotham" Adoption bait came up to him.

And wow the kid is small. His head was on the same level as Jason's stomach.

"Ehm, I am confused" Jason admitted.

The adoption bait tilted his head.

"Dude we will be out of your hair faster if you just help us" Tucker responded.

"Okay, back up a bit. Who are you?" Jason question's.

Before anyone could answer his phone rang out again.

"Sorry I have to take this" Jason's said before accepting the call.

Jason walked to the other side of the rooftop. To have some privacy.

"Jason! How are you?" Dick asked over the line.

"Why did you call?" Jason cut straight to the point.

"Not even a hello or a I missed you?" Dick complained.

"Hello Dick, what do you want?" Jason question's.

He felt like if he kept his eyes to long away of the adoption bait, he would attack.

"Fine, B said we should be on the lookout for 3 teenagers. Two boys and one girl. One boy looks like adoption bait and the other had a darker skin tone with glasses. The girl wore all black clothes with black hair" Dick finished his description.

And Jason started dumfounded at the exact teen's of the description.

"What did they do?" Jason inquires even more tense then before.

"They are the ones who got Tim back, after he was sacrifice" Dick explained.

"What the fuck. What do you mean sacrifice!?" Jason screeched.

"You didn't check the group chat did you. After the Scarecrow attack?" Dick questioned.

"You know very well that I am only in there because Barbie keeps adding me back" Jason answered.

"Well Tim ended up being kidnapped by Scarecrow and his goons. Because they decided he would be a great sacrifice to get a creature of fear here. The sacrificing succeeded, but Tim got brought back by those teenagers" Dick recapped.

"So what should I do if I theoretically have those teenagers in front of me?" Jason asked.

"They are in front of you?" Dick asked.

"Theoretically" Jason responds.

"They said they were here to explore Gotham and meet aliens for some reason. But Barbara lost sight of them on the security cameras. B is kind of stressed that if it goes wrong they might take Tim back" Dick explained.

"Yeah" Jason looks back at the trio. Who looked back at him. "How long are they going to be in Gotham?"

"A week, if you find out anything about them tell us. We only got the info Tim gave and that's mostly gibberish. Which is worrying. Anyway I need to get back to work. See ya little wing" Dick requested.

"Bye" Jason said before the line cut.

"Maybe you should ask Clockwork for more info on Halfa's" Is what Jason hears as he comes back to the other side of the rooftop.

"Maybe he lied for there safety" Adoption bait justified.

"Oh he ghost guy is back" Sam called out.

"Why do you guys keep calling me a ghost?" Jason asked.

"Because you are probably half one" Tucker commented.

"Half ghost, how is that even possible?" Jason question's.

Sam rolled her eyes. The adoption bait shrugged and Tucker didn't even seem to acknowledge the question.

"Anyway I am Danny, nice to meet you" Adoption bait introduced himself.

"You can call me Sam" Sam joined the introduction train.

"And I am TF, for To Fine" Tucker said."but call me Tucker"

"Well I am Jason, did you guys really just come here to ask for directions?" Jason asked chuckling.

"Ghost's are more trustworthy and we didn't know we would find your hunt here" Sam defended there actions.

"My what?" Jason question's.

"Your hunt, or Territory" Sam clarified.

How did they know it was his territory? He wasn't in his Red Hood suit. He thought.

"Are you the Red Hood?" Tucker asked.

"What no" Jason needed to save this somehow. "I am just working under him"

"Mhm yeah" Tucker sounded like he didn't believe him.

"Is that another one of the Vigilantes we were talking about?" Danny asks.

Wait they don't know!? Jason thought.

"No he is a crime Lord. So since we are in a poor Area and the so called Borrows isn't really claimed. I am guessing we are in Crime Alley" Tucker Explained.

"I wonder what's it like to be a Crime lord" Sam commented.

"Maybe we should visit him while we are here" Danny sounded excited.

The other teen's nodded at his suggestion.

"So Jason where is your boss?" Tucker asked smugly.

Chapter Text

Jason has a problem. They wanted to meet Red Hood. So they started following him. As if he was a tourist group guide.

Jason texted Dick if he could pretend to be Red Hood. But he couldn't to hang up with his police work in Blüdhaven. And he definitely won't ask Batman.

"Hey, I can't get a hold of him right now. So..."

"That's fine dude" Tucker agreed easily.

Not so much for Sam "We understand, don't worry we won't go to the police or someone from the government. So his cover won't be blown"

"Yeah we want nobody here disected" Danny agreed.

"Disected?" Jason wished he misheard.

"That's usually what they try to do to us nowadays. Luckily they are idiots" Sam explained.

"But you guys are alive" Jason protest.

"Some people think we aren't and most of them belong to the government" Tucker commented as if it was something completely normal. While still Looking in his old Phone.

"I looked it up once and with alive victim's it's called vivisection" Sam mentioned.

"I didn't know it had another name" Danny said.

"Well that's because you parents never see ghosts as alive" she rolled her eyes.

"Do you guys have some where to stay?" Jason question's. While still rolling over the fact that he didn't see green immediately. Normally hurting children or Trying to hurt them almost always caused the pit madness to raise in anger.

"Nah we were thinking about staying in the next hotel we find. Since we don't have a map" Danny mused.

"I could let you stay in one of my safe house" Jason offered. He needed to learn more about what they knew of the pit. And maybe put some bullets into corrupted Government agent's.

"Oh yes, then we have a better chance to meet this Red Hood" Sam cheered.

"Wait a minute is Red Robin related to Red Hood? Where would Red huntress fit in there" Danny responded.

"Danny no, Valarie is not related to any one of this world" Tucker disagreed.

"But they all use Red" Danny pouted.

"That's to make them sound more menacing to enemies. We don't really see it that often but Normal blood is Red" Sam explained.

"Ah, I forgot about that" Danny realized.

"Red Hood stole his Monica from the Joker his arch enemy" Jason explained.

"Why would he do that?" Danny asked.

"Think about if someone would pretend to be Phantom" Sam responded.

"Oh yeah that would suck, especially if they get caught" Danny mused.

"By who the hunters or ghosts?" Tucker inquired.

"Both especially if they are human" Danny suddenly stopped.

His friends turned to the direction he looked at.

"Wow she is little" Sam commented.

When Jason looked in the same direction there was nothing.

"That's a humanoid shade. It feels almost like a blob ghost" Danny explained.

"But why is she just staring?" Tucker asked.

Danny shrugged. "Maybe ghosts here are not as hostile as at home"

"Yeah otherwise Jason would be more aggressive" Sam nodded.

"Could you explain that to me when we are at the safe house?" Jason asked.

"Sure dude" Tucker nodded.

After so much more talking that made zero sense to Jason and half of that being concerning as hell. They finally made it to his safe house.

"It's perfect" Sam replied.

"And you are sure no security will train on us right?" Danny questioned worriedly.

Jason sighed. "Yes, the only security there is are the locks and the shockers on the windows"

"Yeah good to know, Danny only go through walls. Not Windows" Sam declared.

Danny nodded in agreement.

"Finally, no walking" Tucker sounded relieved. As he plopped down on the sofa.

"For today" Danny said cheekily.

Which caused Tucker to throw a pillow at Danny. Who chuckled while dodging.

"So how am I a half ghost?" Jason asked.

"You still have a pulse right?" Sam questioned.

"Yes"

"Well is it irregular or have you tried to stop it?" Tucker inquired.

"No, why would I do that?" Jason question's.

"Hm, have you ever come into contact with ectoplasm?" Danny asked.

"What's that?"

"It's-" Danny was cut of by a hand on his shoulder.

"It's green and glows" Sam rushed to explain for Danny.

Causing Danny to tilted his head in confusion.

"Like the Lazarus pits?" Jason inquires.

When Danny realized what was happening he took one of his friends gun's and fiddled with it. Until a small Lazarus glowing green vile was pronounced.

"Something like this" Danny pointed at said vile.

"Yeah, that looks like Lazarus water" Jason confirmed.

"That reminds me, didn't Red Robin use the same word?" Sam asked.

"Yeah when he had his little freak out" Danny nodded.

"What happened?" Jason asked worriedly.

"On the way of bringing him back to Gotham, he freaked out about the Fenton portal" Tucker commented

"Nah he started freaking out before that" Danny interjected.

"When we were getting the specter speedster right?" Sam asked.

Danny nodded.

"Is he okay?" Jason question's.

"Yeah, but I don't trust his dad" Danny replied.

"The rich are always up to some, no offense Sam. You are an exception" Tucker charms in.

"No offense taken" Sam smiled fondly at her two idiots.

Jason chuckles. They don't trust Bruce.

"Jason can you believe that he made Tim live in a cave?" Danny sounded annoyed.

Jason eyes widened. "You know who Red Robin is?"

"Yeah some rich kid that got sacrificed while playing vigilante" Sam nodded.

Jason bursted out laughing at the simple description to describe Tim. Danny grinned victoriously and gave his friends a high five.

Chapter Text

Tim couldn't sleep. It wasn't his usual reason. Normally he couldn't sleep, due to needing to finish a case. But this time he really tried. Alfred would be proud of him if he knew.

The Problem was that he felt like something was missing. And it nagging him so much that he kept turning in his bed. This was the first time he let himself sleep after getting back to Gotham. He finished his case. So it couldn't be that.

Tim sat up and went over every thing he could think of. But he came up with nothing. There wasn't a case or a meeting he needed to finish researching for. So what was missing?

His phone started ringing, it was Jason.

"Jason what's up?" Tim questioned.

"Hey replacement" he sounded Tired.

Tim ran several scenarios in his mind of what the reason for his call was. Maybe he needed him to research something. He concluded.

"I just heard, you got sacrificed..." Jason trails of.

"Yeah, that was definitely a trip" Tim commented thinking back to it. He still couldn't rap his head around that. Wait weren't Those 3 Teenagers in Gotham now?

"I am glad that you are doing okay" Tim was surprised at how genuine Jason sounded.

"What made you call?" Tim questions.

"I happened to meet your saviors, they waited for me on a rooftop" Jason chuckles at how unbelievable that sounded.

"What did they do?" Tim almost spit out. They are completely unknowns. What if something happened to Jason because of them. Tim should have asked more questions when he was brought back. He needed-

"They wanted to ask for directions, but somehow found out about Red Hood and want to meet him now" Jason cut Tim spiraling thoughts short.

"I could distract them" Tim found himself offering. How could he forget about those Teenagers? He castrated himself.

"Tim I don't think, that's a good idea. They quieted the pit" Jason sounded worried.

"Do you have a better idea?" Tim inquired, as he started pacing. He could clearly remember That Lazarus Dimension and it terrified Tim. They would take Jason instead of him wouldn't they?

"As much as I hate listening to Bruce. I don't want them to take you away" Jason growled.

"Where are they right now?" Tim questioned, Already autopiloting to the Batcave.

"They are in a safe house of mine. Tim what's your plan?" Jason question's.

"I am giving them a visit" Tim decided and before Jason could protest cut the call of.

Tim hadn't much Time the sun would be up in 2 hours. To light some of the gloomy city up. But Tim was determined to find them. He checked about 4 safe house's in his Red Robin suit. Before finally finding the right one.

Even though it was almost the same silents as in the empty safe house's he could hear there soft breathing. They were all cuddled up on the only bed in the apartment sleeping peacefully.

Tim took a breath of relief. Which he immediately regretted when Danny's eyes flew wide open and glowed Lazarus green. Tim stiffened where he was. After a long moment of just being stared at Danny tilted his head.

When Danny blinked his eyes went back to his normal blue ones. He softly slipped out of the cuddle pile. So not too disturb the others. Then grab Tim's arm and heading to the living room kitchen. Tim didn't protest and just went along.

Danny yawned. "Hey Tim"

"Hello" Tim was still kind of freaked out.

"What brings you to us?" Danny asked as he leaned on one of the kitchen counters.

"I-" Tim paused. He couldn't just say that he couldn't sleep.

Danny just watched him waiting.

"I wanted to see if you guys found a safe place to spend the night" Tim settled on.

Danny smiled fondly at Tim. "Everywhere would be safe for us"

"Huh?" Tim forward his eyebrows in confusion.

"We can take care of ourselves. So you don't have to worry" Danny explained.

"Danny I have lived here longer than you, Gotham is dangerous. There are so many murders and Traffickers and-" Tim hadn't realized he was getting emotional. Until he was interrupted by a hug from Danny.

Tim didn't know why, but he cried again in Danny's arms. Anything that happened around Danny seems to be uncontrollably. He doesn't understand why he would cry. It should have been his norm to deal with the craziness of Gotham. So why was he crying?

Just as Tim was about to black out from crying. He heard the soft question if he wanted to join there cuddle pile.

Chapter Text

"Dannnnnyyy! Wake up, you promised you wouldn't just sleep through the trip" Tim heard someone complaining.

"Fine" Danny answered pushing Tim gently to the side.

Wait why was there Danny. There shouldn't be he was in the manor right? Tim cracked his eyes open and found himself in one of Jason's safe house's. He was still in his Red Robin suit. What was he doing here? Danny, the teenagers. They wanted to take Jason away.

Tim jumped up and out of the bed. He stormed into the kitchen hoping he hasn't missed them.

"I told you, it would work as a double check up. And we would have a human Map" Danny explained.

"It's called a guide, Danny. Not a human Map" Sam rolled her eyes.

"Oh morning dude" Tucker greeted him.

"You should really ask Robin first" Sam grumbled.

"It's Red Robin, there's already another Vigilante here called Robin" Tucker correct her.

"Well Tim do you have Time to show us around Gotham?" Danny asked.

"Yeah, I can. Just not in this suit" Tim retreated back into the bedroom.

"See he agreed" Danny commented to the others.

Tim breathed out in relief. The silence of the room was comforting him. He could do this. It was just a surveillance mission. Tim done those before. And if something goes south he could always step in.

As long as they don't take him back or take anyone else to that dimension. It was completely fine. Tim made his way to the closet and took out the clothes Jason stored for him. If he ever came over to visit.

He came back to Sam and Tucker arguing about where they should go to eat next. Danny concentrated on his cereals instant. When he spotted Tim he gestures for him to come over.

"I wanted to ask you something about your alien friend you mentioned. Can you ask them if they have time to meet?" Danny asked smiling.

Tim gulps. He remembers it as if it was yesterday. It was that one time he got bombarded by Danny's constant question about space and Aliens. They were on the way to Casper high when he let it slip that he knows some aliens. Danny almost flipped out because of excitement. Why did Tim promise him he could meet them.

Tim nodded.

He needed something to make them leave earlier than they wanted. The only thing he left on him from his suit where his coms.
He contacted Barbs in the bedroom earlier. She would have berated him for how stupid he was. If she didn't complain about losing there trail multiple times.

"We would need to stop by the Manor again for that. I left my phone there" Tim explained.

"Hey Tim, could you teach me how to make a suit like yours?" Tucker asked after they finally stopped there argument.

"We can do that later Tucker, Jason promised we get to meet Red Hood today" Sam chimes in.

"Oh that reminds me are you related to him?" Danny questioned.

Tucker chuckled while Sam sighed.

"Why would you think that?" Tim redirect the conversation.

"Well you are Red Robin and he is Red Hood. I thought maybe Red was like a family name or something" Danny explained.

"Wait if Red Hood is Tim Dad. That's why he's rich!" Sam concluded.

"If Red Hood really is Tim's Dad then he sucks" Tucker grumbled.

Tim snorted in amused. "Why are you guys against Bruce so much?"

"Rich adults are always up to no good" Danny declared.

Which both Sam and Tucker nodded in agreement to.

"Do you remember that one time Vlad dragged you to a gala?" Tucker commented.

"Ung don't mention that. It's like ew double Kidnapping. The only funny thing was Vlad freaked out face" Danny grinned.

"Double Kidnapping?" Tim questioned concerned.

"Yeah we were just about to get him out of the gala. When one of the other rich guy decided He wanted him to" Tucker retold.

"Luckily only for Normal creepy reasons, I beat the guy almost up. If it wasn't for Vlad storming in and almost killing the guy"

"How exactly is that double Kidnapping?" Tim asked to clarify.

"Vlad kidnapped him first. To force him to the gala" Sam clarified.

"Oh, sorry that happened to you" Tim commented.

"Don't worry happens all the time" Danny shrugged.

"We just don't need more people trying to kidnap him" Sam explained.

"Or skin him for that matter" Tucker chimes in.

Tim looked at Danny who rubbed his neck sheepishly.

"That's why you don't trust my Dad" Tim stated.

"Basically yeah" Sam nods.

"So what are your plans other than meeting Red Hood?" Tim asked.

Chapter Text

Jason had a feeling he couldn't hide. As if Danny still was in his room. But Jason knew he wasn't. Jason wanted him to leave, but his pit madness held him back this time. The silence was like a warning.

It nagged him that he could still feel his presence and it was a strong presence. Jason had a strong feeling if he would fight Danny, that he wouldn't survive.

He thought beginning rid of the pits would cause all his other problems to disappear. But he was wrong, he was so used to dealing with it. That when it was gone or as quiet as this that he needed it back.

He needed the pits and wasn't that laughable. Jason tried to get rid of them for so long. But now he realized it's like a shield. It protects him from most of the blame directed his way. And it is let him beat the shit out of scum bags. That thought hurting kids was fine.

It was Jason's pit and it being so suppressed was wrong. So the best way would be to just give them what they wanted. Then they would leave on there own and Jason would be back to his normal self.

Jason knocked at his safe house's door in his Red Hood attire. Sam answered and let him in.

"You are Red Hood right? Nice to meet you I am Sam" Sam introduced himself, before tilting her head.

"Yes that would be me" At least Jason voice changer worked as it should.

"Where is Jason?" She asked.

"He had an errand to run and couldn't make it" Jason tried his best to kept his nerves out of his voice.

"Oh, I hope you don't mind A friend joining us" Sam stated while leaning him in the living room kitchen.

Jason's mind was raising, what friend are they talking about? For some reason only monstrous beings came to his mind.

"Because Tim decided to visit us" Sam gestures to Tim eating some cereal.

That idiot, Why can't he listen to his warnings for once!? He should have never called him.

Danny tilted his head and just stared at him. He was sitting beside Tim at the kitchen table.

"So dude, how is it like being a crime Lord?" Tucker asked.

"It's a lot of responsibility, like keeping my people in check and make it clear that if anyone else deals with kids in my territory will get a bullet into there brain" Jason hissed.

"Oh great obsession dude" Danny complimented with a thumbs up. "Drugs suck"

"Especially the ones your parents tried to make once" Sam commented.

"Your parents tried to make drugs?" Tim asked bewildered.

"Only like twice, both times I almost couldn't enter the house" Danny complained.

"And your movements where sluggish, we had to dragged you to school" Sam recounted.

"At least it didn't make me melt" Danny defended himself.

"Oh, yeah I don't wanna deal with a soup-Danny" Tucker grimiest at the thought.

"What made you want to be a crime Lord, Red Hood?" Sam returned to there guest.

"Hm, I would say Batmans prospective was so flawed and hippocritical. That I realized you couldn't stop crime, but control it. Which makes the streets safer, because you are the one setting the rules up for crimes in your area" Jason explained.

"Hm I wonder if we could apply that to the ghosts?" Tucker mused.

"But wouldn't that exactly be what the stupid observants want?" Danny grumbles.

"Danny you would get more sleep that way" Sam reasoned.

"Why did you pick the name Red Hood? Like are you related to Red Robin?" Danny questioned.

"Danny not again, we been thought this there no way he is Tim's Dad!" Tucker protest.

"Well maybe Tim was adopted" Danny exclaimed.

"Oh that would suck, Tim don't tell us he force adopted you" Sam pleaded.

Jason looked at Tim, who dragged his hands down his face. Before he gestures silently 'they don't trust Bruce'.

Jason snorted. "Well if you must know" Tim did an abort motion with his hands to stop Jason. "He is my brother" it didn't stop Jason.

"Ha I knew it" Danny exclaimed proudly.

Sam and Tucker just groaned. Tim face planted.

"Can you show us around crime Ally for a bit?" Tucker asked.

"I would, but I have some assholes to catch and maybe hit with a bullet or two" Jason really hopped his excuse was good enough.

"Oh have fun, thought if we see any guy dealing with kids should we punch them for good measures? You know on the way out" Danny question's.

"Sure, go for it" Jason chuckles. Before leaving.

Chapter Text

After Jason left Tim was once again alone with the trio. And as agreed was leading them to the Giordano Botanical Gardens.

"So do you know that your brother is a Halfa?" Danny questioned Tim out of the blue.

"Wait there are two Halfa's here?" Sam asked bewildered.

"No, there only me and Jason" Danny denied.

"What's a halfa?" Tim inquired.

"I am guessing none of you bats know anything about ghosts" Tucker stated.

"How many brothers do you have Tim?" Sam questioned.

"4 Why?" Tim didn't want to lose one of his siblings because of them.

Tucker eyes widened while he was reading something in his old Phone. "Tim you never told us you are the CEO of a tech company!" He exclaimed bewildered.

"You shouldn't say that so loud, we are still in Crime Ally" Tim scolded while looking around paranoid.

"But dude, We could test how one of your companies phone's react to Danny" Tucker runted.

"As long as nothing is shooting at me again, I am fine with it" Danny agreed.

"Why would it only react differently to Danny?" Tim questions.

Suddenly someone grabbed a hold of Tucker. This girl shoved him out of the way but still held his arm with his PDA.

"You are right he, does look like Tim Drake" she sounded delightful.

They all turned around and looked at her. She had short brown hair and looked like a topical Mugger. A gun was held to Tucker head.

"Now if you come along without any fuss nothing will happen to your little friend here" She smiled menacingly.

"You are making big mistake Lady" Tucker warned her.

"Are you going to take care of it yourself or?" Sam inquired.

"Nah I like being held like this, none of the girls at would do that" Tucker provocatively lead backwards onto the Woman holding him hostage.

Sam rolled her eyes and did a simple head gesture for Danny to do something.

"What the hell is wrong with you, I am holding you at gun point!?" She exclaimed bewildered.

Tim's eyes widened as he seen her gun disappeared into fin air.

"With What gun miss?" Danny questioned have her gun in his hands.

Her eyes widened as she realized where her gun was. "How did you?"

"Oh this you just dropped it" Danny explained cheekily.

She surged forward to snatch her gun back. Making Tucker stumble to the side. Danny dodged her attempts seemingly playing with her.

"Give it back you little shit" She demanded.

"Well that's a new insult" Danny smirk.

"Why is he playing with her?" Tim questions confused, when Tucker came back to there side.

"It's so sad that most girls are always going after Danny" Tucker complained.

Sam giggled "don't forget that most of them also want him dead"

"Is this a real gun" Danny suddenly asked the girl who was now out of Breath.

"Yes, just give it back. I will leave you guys alone afterwards" She held out her hand.

"I wanna try it out" Danny smiled widely.

Which made the Women tense. "Woah woah, you can keep the gun as long as you don't shoot me" she tried to placate him.

"Hey Danny shoot at that unreadable sign over there" Sam pointed out.

Danny nodded and shoot the center of said sign. "Well that was loud" he observed before giving the gun back to the Lady.

She just looked dumfounded between him and the sign.

"That was fun, would you like to come with us to the botanical garden?" Danny questioned her.

"Danny no, she just tried to kill your friend" Tim protest.

"Oh, that reminds why did you want Tim?" Danny asked.

She snorted in disbelief. "Your a strange kid. I don't have time to go to the botanical garden, but thanks for the offer. Tim is someone who is good for getting ransom money" she said her last sentence while looking at Tim.

"Ah, that checks out" Sam nodded in understanding.

"You can always kidnap me if you want" Tucker winked at her.

"No thank you, I have a husband" She explained.

"Aww" Tucker sounded disappointed.

"Keep dreaming Tucker, it wouldn't have worked anyways. Different worlds and all that" Sam commented.

"Well have a nice rest of your day miss" Danny responded and they just went on there way.

"Yeah, have fun at the botanical gardens" she told them smilingly.

"Has this happened before?" Tim questioned.

"Not really, most of the time it's just ghosts who play with Danny that way" Tucker explained.

"So how is it like being held ransom?" Danny asked.

"It's just like a work break these days, that is if the kidnapper haven't planned something sick" Tim explained.

"Like getting sacrificed right?" Sam smirk.

"Eh yeah, but that was in my bat Persona" Tim reluctantly agreed.

"Meh it could have been a lot worse than that" Danny commented shruggingly.
