The family had finally gotten back to the Manor and they were all awaiting for Jason to tell his story.

Jason smiled," Aw, you all care about me. It's like I'm famous. Okay, it's five dollars for an autograph, ten for a picture, twenty for a hug."

Dick rolled his eyes," Just tell us how you're alive already."

"Okay, well you all know how I died... And then I was alive. The end. Can I leave now?"

"Be serious, Jay. This isn't a joke." Barbara now spoke up.

"Fine, gosh... Ra's dumped me in the Lazarus Pit."

Dick widened his eyes. He knew of the pit, but why would Ra's put Jason in there? Ra Al Ghoul hated Batman, and Dick didn't think he liked Jason any better.

"Why?" Barbara questioned.

"I don't know. I didn't stay for questions," He then turned to Alfred," I'm gonna stay the night. I take it my room is still available?"
Alfred nodded," I shall set it up for you."

Tim looked at Jason immediately noticing the way Jason asked to stay over and remembering the way Dick had asked. Was this really the second Robin?

A question then popped in Dicks mind," How long have you been alive?"

"Since about the day of my funeral. So, I've technically been alive this whole time."

"Did you ever plan to tell anyone about this?"

"Yes... Well... Until I found out that stupid clown was still alive and Bruce didn't do shit about it."

"He doesn't kill. You know that... Were you gonna hide this whole time?"

"Nah, I had a plan. Bruce dying just wasn't in my plan." Dick groaned and walked in the other direction. This was definitely not the Jason he used to know. This Jason was aggressive and rude. He was willing to do anything as long as he benefited from it.

Sure, Jason had a slight anger issue back then, but this was far worse than a slight issue. And Dick knew he was now this way because the Lazarus pit had taken its effect.

"And that plan was?"

"Not telling you, Golden Boy, find out on your own." And with that Jason turned on his heels and headed towards the stairs.

"I don't trust him." Dick muttered onceJason was in his room," None of us should."

"That isn't the Jay we used to know. He's different." Barbara ruffled Tim's hair," Be careful."

---

It was now 9:47 pm and Barbara had returned home, and the male guests of the house were all locked away in their separate rooms. The house was a lot quieter than usual.

Then at this moment the Tim quietly exited his room and walked toward Jason's room. Dick had said not to trust Jason, but Tim would rather get on Jason's good side rather than bad.

Knock, Knock!

Jason was interrupted as he heard two knocks on his door.

"What do you want, Dick? I'm busy." The door opened revealing Tim," Oh, I wasn't expecting you."

"Hi, we haven't really introduce ourselves." Tim smiled sheepishly noticing that Jason was just lying down. So much for busy.

What does he want?

"I'm Tim." Tim stuck out his hand. Jason didn't shake it," Jason. Why are you here?"

"I wanted to ask you something."

Jason raised an eyebrow," Ask away."

"Do you think there's a chance... That Bruce is-"

"-Alive?"

"Yeah."

Jason then burst out laughing. Tim was taken aback for a second. He hadn't expected that reaction.

"Kid, do I think Bruce is alive?" Jason kept on laughing. He found the question way to funny," No, I don't. He died, we buried a body, the end."

"B-but..."

"But nothing. He's dead and that's the end of it. I'm sorry if you're in denial, but you can't do anything about it."

"You were alive when everyone thought you were dead. Bruce buried a body too and here you are today." Tim stated getting angry that Jason was treating Tim the way he was.

"Yeah, but that was cause of Ra's. I doubt Ra's would save Bruce. He hated his guts, I mean, I don't even know why he saved me. Look, Kid, if you want we can both play make-believe and act as if Bruce is alive. Would you like that?" Tim rolled his eyes," Aren't you at least curious about who killed Bruce?! Why haven't any of us looked into it? We can't leave this to the cops!"

"I don't know... He didn't kill the Joker when I died, so why should I avenge him? Seems like a waste of perfectly good time."

"It's all about you! You're the only thing ever going through your mind! Can't you think about someone but yourself for once?!" Tim turned and stomped out of the room.

"Don't get mad! You're the one that came to me." Jason smirked. To be honest, he wasn't really sure why Tim went to him in the first place. Go cry to Dick. Jason didn't care, Tim was his replacement, so he had more of a reason to hate the kid.

Dick soon appeared at Jason's door," What happened? I heard yelling."

Jason smiled," Shorty was telling me about how Bruce is still alive and whatnot." Dick got a look in his eyes and Jason could instantly tell that Tim had talked to Dick about the subject too.

"He told you too, huh?"

"Yeah, he did."

"You believe him? You too gonna go on a big search for Bruce?"

"Of course not. I know he's dead."

Jason frowned knowing that he couldn't make fun of Dick now.

"Where's Tim?" Dick asked changing the subject.

"You think I know?" Dick sighed and left to search for Tim.

Jason got up and closed his door before jumping on his bed to relax.

About ten minutes later Dick barged into his room," What do you want?!" Jason yelled wondering why he couldn't just be left alone in the manor. First it was Tim, now it was Dick. Maybe Alfred would come later and Barbara too.

Dick ignored Jason,"I can't find Tim."
