Dreams aren't always pleasant

Part one: Wrong Hood

     Damian wasn't quite sure how he ended up in Crime Alley or why he was standing on a roof watching Red Hood. That's not true he knew why he was watching Red Hood because something was off. His movements were rash, unplanned like a wild animal. Something Damian had never seen in his younger brother. Even under the madness of the pit, Tim was always ten steps ahead.

     "Hood?" The vigilante turned to stare at him. He studied Damian for a minute like he was unsure what to do. Something was definitely off.

     "What do you want Nightwing?" he asked crossing his arms.

     "Can't a guy check on his little brother" He leaped down next to the man.

     "Brother?" Damian was taken aback by the response. Sure their relationship had always been rocky but it had gotten a lot better since Tim rejoined the family.

     "That's what we were last time I checked" The vigilante clicked a button on the back of his helmet slowly lifting it off.

     "You okay wing?" Damian's eyes locked on the locks of red hair. The man looked familiar but it was definitely not the brother he had expected.

"Jay?"

Part two: Jason Todd

     "Jay?" Damian stared in shock as his entire body went numb. No Jason was a kid.

     "Jay?" The redhead asked raising an eyebrow.

     "Jason, your Jason Todd?" The man was caught off guard by the mention of that name.

     "So you figured it out" he smiled taking off the domino mask. Now there was no doubt in Damian's mind that this was his little brother.

     "W-What happen to you?" Damian wanted to curse himself for the waver in his voice.

     "I made a deal with a certain British douchebag," Jason said putting his gun back in his holster "Gotham needs protecting and Bats certainly isn't doing anything about it"

     "What do you mean Bats isn't doing anything about it?" The question seemed to strike a chord with Jason.

     "Your awful chatty tonight aren't you?" Jason looked at him suspiciously.

      "How long ago did you make this deal?" There's no way this was the kid he was talking to just a day ago.

     "Geez at least buy me dinner first," Jason said in the sarcastic tone that Damian had come to know so well.

     "Hood I'm serious," Damian said grabbing him by the collar.

     "Whoo, big bird calm down," Jason said jerking away "I don't know about a year after Robin disappeared" Damian felt his stomach drop.

     "What else do you know?" Damian searched Jason's eyes desperate for an answer to a question he was too afraid to ask.

    "Just that Bats hasn't been the same since Robin vanished and you only come to Gotham when you want something" Jason's eyes narrowed "So what do you want wing?"

     "Stay safe" Damian turned dashing off the roof. There was so much more he wanted to ask but right now he needed to find Tim.

Part three: The Cave

     Damian's mind seemed to be racing a hundred miles an hour searching for some kind of answer. Jason was red hood and Robin vanished.

     That made no sense Jason was Robin. Of course, Jason also dyed his hair black and was around fifteen. The only other bird was...
