When Damian finally convinced Tim that everything was okay he brought him to the Cave where Bruce stood waiting.

"What happened out there?"

Tim stood still and stared at Bruce. He didn't fully understand what had happened yet. What had they done to him?

"She used her magic, I think" Tim still couldn't understand how it happened "I told her everything I knew."

"I found where she lives and I followed her when she left. She was with a boy her age. They work together in this. They cornered me. She used her abilities and I told her what I knew. Which wasn't a lot but she knew who I was. She called me by my name"

They all had separate thoughts and they were all right. Tim thought that Willa would come for them, Bruce thought Damian was missing something, Alfred thought they should warn the others and Damian thought Willa had finally lost it.

"Who was she with?" Damian finally spoke up after a few moments.

"She called him Alastor, I didn't notice him using any abilities" Tim wondered who he was, "Do you know him?"

"I'm not sure" he stared a Bruce "It would take them a while before naming their soldiers. They would get named after their first mission."

"They would have figured out who we were eventually. Once they realized Damian was Robin," Bruce turned to Alfred "Warn the rest."

With that said Bruce walked away planning out how to strengthen security even more now. He was worried about how their people were going to affect his family.

Damian was not good with kind emotions but he understood how their abilities took a toll on the body and the mind. He hated when Willa was forced into his mind it left him weak and drained he knew Tim wasn't taking it well.

"Tim, you need some rest"

"No, I need to fix this somehow. I need to figure out how to protect us from them"

"Tim. You need to calm down look I know it took a toll on you and your body. I've experienced it."

"You have"

Tim didn't want to admit it but he felt so drained. Like Willa had taken a part of him away and he didn't know what to do. The only thing keeping him up at the moment was the fact that he told them what he knew. That they were scared.

"Yes. It's okay"

"I don't know what to do anymore"

"You won't do anyone any good if you're in this state, Tim. So go rest"

"I-"

"NOW TIM"

He knew he was being harsh to Tim but it's what he needed. Damian grew angry at everything now that he had a moment alone. Why was Tim so idiotic? Why couldn't he have waited? What did Willa do to him? He sat at the computer looking into the files. Alastor? Who was Alastor? He knew of many warriors that had already passed so who was he forgetting?

He spent the rest of the night searching and analyzing. Trying to find out who was alive and where they were.

********

Alastor had set Willa in bed and let her rest for a few hours. They knew where they were now. They weren't safe, but were they ever?

Alastor put up Willa's old wards. He opened up a few bags and placed them by the door and windows. He sat in the living room waiting for her to wake up. When she finally did he could tell the spell had taken a toll on her.

"What time is it?"

"It's 2 in the morning"

"Have you warned the others?"

"All except Nakia," he turned to the table "But she is with Nestor"

"Alright"

They sat in silence for a moment before Alastor left into the kitchen and came back with a plate of eggs, toast, and some orange juice.

"Thank you" she started eating before asking the question that had been bugging them both, "What do you think we should do now?"

"Should we hide?"

"Damian knows who we are now, there's no point in hiding?"

"Should we leave?"

"If you want to stop the mission?" she set her plate down, "Besides they'll follow us anywhere now that Damian knows were alive"

"So what do we do now?"

"We keep going," she spoke confidently, her fears well hidden, "They won't catch up with us and if they do, we'll do what we have to"

"No more going out alone,"

He was scared to challenge her. They had always considered each other equals but he was always too scared, to take charge. This time he knew they had to be in it together.

"We watch each other's backs from now on," he felt nervous "Got it?"

"Alright, you watch my back, I watch yours"

She went back into the room to get some sleep while Alastor stayed in the living room wondering what he had gotten himself into.
