Jason and I were watching a movie in the home theater when he asked me a question that I was not ready to answer." How- how did Bruce die?" Jason asked softly. I nearly choke on my popcorn and I clear my throat.
"Um- well... I went to help out my former team, the Teen Titans and I got hurt so Bruce came to help me. When I got captured by Slade, Joker and Tony Zucco Bruce jumped in the way but he got shot. The wound was to fatal... I couldn't do anything. He made me promise to take care of you and I did, he died in my arms. I was overcome by grief so I left for Blüdhaven so I could pick up the broken pieces of my life. When I got a call from the Flash saying that the league needed my help, I couldn't stay away any longer but I had to leave Nightwing in Blüdhaven... and become the Batman that Bruce was. It was only when I came back that I heard that you had died going after the Joker. I am so sorry Jason, if Bruce hadn't have come to help me then you would still be Robin and Bruce would be here. Maybe Nightwing was the one who should have died..." I said spilling everything out. I rub the bridge of my nose as he speaks up.
"You can't say that cause it wasn't your fault and I should have never have went after the Joker in the first place! Maybe not alone that is..." Jason said and just gave him a hug. My phone buzzed and I pulled it out reading the message...
Meet in the Watchtower! League meeting and yes you are a part of the league now... Don't be late!
Starts in 5 minutes...
-FlashI sigh and get up." I have to go meet the league... I didn't really think I was a part of the league! Anyway you can stay here and Alfred will get you anything you want just ask... Jason. Oh! You don't have to be alone anymore..." I said as Jason smiled and I left the room heading for the Batcave.
Gee! I wonder what it is...
