"Ouch!  Get off me Dami!" Jason shouted, tossing the small child across the room.

"Don't leave Todd!" Damian shouted, wiping blood off his arm.

"Sorry boys," Jason looked back at his three brothers that he planned to leave and turned away before he started crying,"But I can't live here anymore.  And you know it.  Bye."

"Jason!" Tim yelled as the door shut.

Dick stared in disbelief at the door,"No, he didn't!"

Tim collapsed to the ground and started crying.  His two brothers joined him, they were also crying.

1 day earlier

"Jason!" Bruce yelled,"You can't just kill your enemies!"

"I'm not like you!" Jason yelled,"I can do whatever I like!"

"You.. you.. you just don't kill people, maybe hurt them, but you don't kill them!" Bruce shouted back in rage.

They were having a private argument in the Batcave.

"I know you're mad, but you don't kill!  It's not right!" 

"I don't care whats right!"

"I'm starting to see that!"

"I can do whatever I want!  I can kill!"

"Why? What happened to that happy boy that I used to work alongside me?"

"That happy boy? That happy boy was your failure!  He died, but look who came to replace him!  Me!  And I'm stronger than ever!"

"My failure?!"

"Yes!  We all were your failures.  First Dick, he quit on you.  Then me, I died.  Then Tim!  Now, what is going to happen to Damian?  Who's after him?"

"Stop it!"

"No!"

"You know what Jason?! Just leave!  If you don't like me!  My ways!  Just leave!  Go!"

Jason's jaw tightened,"Fine.  Bye."

2 months later

Jason Todd sat on a crooked wooden chair leaning forward onto his desk.  He had been hired as a detective and was looking in on a case.  Case files and documents scattered across the desk.  Jason shook his head and sighed.  Moving aside the case files, he peered under them, trying to find a document.

But instead he found something else, a picture.  Of him and his brothers.  It was them in the Grand Canyon, the time he learned what trust was.  And found out more about his brothers.

Now how that get there?  Jason certainly didn't remember putting it there.

"Dick Grayson, get out here!" Jason called.

"Hey it isn't only Grayson!" Damian and Tim stepped out alongside their brother, Dick.

"What are you guys doing here?" Jason sighed.

"Hello to you too!" Tim hugged Jason.

"Yeah, I mean sheesh!" Dick said.

"Why did you leave?" Damian cut to the point.

"I got into an argument with Bruce." Jason shook his head.

"Yeah, we gathered that.  We also gathered that it was about you killing people." Tim said.

"But why did you leave us?" Dick asked.

Jason opened his eyes wide..

"Why do you care?" Jason asked harshly,"Just go away!"

Tim jumped out of his lap and rushed to his brothers,"Wow. What the heck!"

"It's okay boys, let's go.  It's obvious that Jay bird doesn't care." Dick ran and hopped out the window, closely followed by Tim, and finally Damian.

Jay bird.  He hadn't heard that nickname in 2 months.

Jason knocked his head on the table, why did he leave his brothers?  Why did they care about him?

1 hour later

The four.. sorry three brothers.. sat on Damian's bed.

"Why the heck do we care?" Tim asked,"Well duh, he's our brother!"

"Jason's always been a little bit of a hard head," Dick said,"We'll have to try harder!"

"Or not try at all." Damian said.

"Uh huh," Tim laid back,"Why would we?"

"I dunno!" Damian looked out the window,"Hey Drake, Grayson, get over here!"

"Look!" Tim pointed, a figure was walking up the way,"It's Jay bird!"

Dick smiled,"Knew it!"

The boys ran to the door, bouncing with anticipation.

"Happy?!" Jason burst through the door, smiling at his brothers and bringing them into a hug,"Think I would actually leave you?"

"Back so soon?" Bruce appeared at the door.

Jason paled,"I'm sorry Bruce, I understand if you don't want me here.  I just want to say I've missed you and have decided against my brutal ways.

Bruce smiled,"I'm glad, I missed you too!"

Jason and Bruce embraced and from that moment on Jason knew one thing.

He would never leave. Ever again.  Because he belonged here with his family.
