Jason's secret

5

"Mar'i if you want you can go join them." Jason said to his niece.

"Really!?" Mar'i asked.

"Yes the kids may not play with you at first but, with Alfred there they may come around easier." Jason told her.

"Can I go daddy?" Mar'i asked her father.

"Of course Mar'i, go and have fun." Dick told his daughter.

"I'll take her to the playroom." Felix told everyone.

He took Mar'i hand and lead her to the playroom, after a few minutes Felix returned and sat down next to his wife.

"Miss Marinette can I ask when you are due?" Selina asked.

"It's fine Mrs. Wayne. I'm due in 3 weeks." Marinette told Selina.

"Wow that soon!" Cass said.

"Yes we have everything ready for her arrival, so now it's just a waiting game." Marinette told them.

"So how long will you guys be gone for?"Jason asked his 4 friends.

"What do you mean?" Duke asked.

"Well all of us have business trips." Luka said.

"I go to some places with my father when he's on tour. But Chloe has been going on a lot of business trips lately because she is taking over her father hotel soon." Luka explained.

"And I have my own business to take care of. While my wife over here has a lot of competitions she participate in, like our son." Felix explained.

"I'm a famous fashion designer, I'm always busy with work stuff." Marinette said to them.

"Yes I understand that work trips are important but, please explain more?" Bruce asked.

"Well normally after Kaidens competitions are done. My competitions are done a few days after his, and Felix has business in the area of my competition, so we are going to be gone for 5 to 7 business days." Kagami told them.

"This is suppose to be my last business trip before I take over the hotel, and Luka decided to come with me to help out so we don't know when we will be back just yet." Chloe explained.

"Okay so are you leaving today or tomorrow." Marinette asked.

"We are leaving tonight." Luka said.

"Same." Kagami said.

"Okay then you guys should be getting ready to leave." Marinette said.

"Yeah we still need to pack some more." Felix said as he stood up, then helped his wife stand as they walked out.

"I still need to gather some more paperwork for them to sign." Chloe said as she got up and walked out, her husband following behind her.

Jason waited a few minutes before speaking to his family.

"I know you guys are mad at me but-" Jason said but was cut off by dick.

"But what Jason, what is so important that you didn't tell us about your secret life.!" Dick said as he threw his hands in the air.

"Well if you didn't interrupt me you would've known." Jason said to Dick.

"Now as I was saying. I know you guys are mad at me but, I have good reasons for not telling you guys anything." Jason said.

"I'm not mad Jason, I'm just disappointed that I've missed 5 years of my grandson's life and almost missed my granddaughter's life." Bruce said to Jason.

"What are your reasons for not telling us Jason?" Barbara asked.

"I did it to protect my family from everything." When Jason said that Dick huffed and turned his head in disbelief.

"I knew that Dick wouldn't listen to me so I don't know why I was so shocked when I saw how Dick was acting. I didn't want to put my family in danger so I kept them a secret, anybody in the Wayne family is a target. I have to protect my family I know Bruce is mad that I hid them but I don't care." Jason thought to himself.

"I need to start on dinner soon." Jason said to everyone as he stood up and walked away.

I need to finish that outfit. Marinette said to herself, as she walked upstairs.

The Wayne's were all just sitting in the living room.

"Did you really have to interrupt him Dick." Duke said.

"Dick I don't say this often but, you're acting like a real dick right now." Tim said to Dick.

"So you just accept that, he kept all of this a secret from us. He lied to us Tim for 6 years." Dick said.

"When did he lie to us?" Tim asked.

"He didn't tell us that he was married." Dick said.

"That doesn't mean that he lied to us, that just means that he didn't say anything." Tim said.

"Yeah it hurts that Jason didn't tell us about his secret life, but I understand why." Tim said.

"What?!" Dick said.

"He died in Gotham Dick, when he came back to Gotham he wasn't accepted by us, and when he was he was known as the black sheep of the family. So when he left, he didn't want to come back. He feels the need to protect his family, so he did." Tim told Dick.

Jason decided to check on Alfred and the kids, before he started on dinner. He walked down the hallway and looked into the playroom to see the 3 kids playing chief with Alfred, while Mar'i was trying to play with them but, they wouldn't let her. After seeing this Jason headed to the kitchen to start preparing dinner for everyone.
