Two days later...
DICK POV
Barbara and I decide to go to Gotham to tell Bruce about Jason. Leaving Blüdhaven with Red Hood worried me, but he's not killing any innocent civilians. That's one thing that makes me sigh in relief.
Roy still needs to wear that cast for two more weeks. So Blüdhaven is under the bloody hands of Jason.
The bus ride was actually pretty long, four and a half hours. Babs dozed off and has her head on my shoulder.
The bus stops, I look up and see the familiar lights of Gotham at night. I slowly shake Babs.
"We're here..." I whisper.
Babs eyes slowly opens and she lifts her head of my shoulder.
"How long was I out?" She asks.
"Half the ride." I reply.
"Did you get any sleep?"
"For a while, probably an hour."
"Better get going." Babs stands up.
One hour later...
The driver stops the cab in front of Wayne Manor. I pay the driver.
"Keep the change." I say.
The driver salutes as Babs and I exit the car. We push through the front gates.
Babs presses her finer on the bell. Not long after, Alfred opens the door.
"Master Dick! Miss Gordon! What a surprise." Alfred smiles.
"Hi Alfred!" Babs and I greet him.
"Might I ask what you two are doing here? Miss Gordon visited you in Blüdhaven... Do come in."
"Thanks Al. We wanted to tell Bruce something... Jason."
A questioning look crosses Alfred's face. "Pardon me, but did you say something about Master Todd?"
"Yeah... It's about Jason." Barbara replies.
"Wait here, please do take a seat..." Alfred walks away. "Master Wayne!"
ALFRED POV
I reach Bruce's room. I start to knock vigorously on the old wooden door.
Bruce opens the door in his bathrobe. "Alfred? What's wrong?"
"Master Dick and Miss Gordon are here sir... They came to talk to you about Master Todd." I reply.
"Jason?"
DICK POV
Footsteps rush down from the stairs in the manor.
"What's this I hear about Jason?!" I hear Bruce.
"He's the Red Hood." Babs replies immediately.
"No... He's dead..." Bruce says with disbelief.
"And we thought so too..." I start. "Bruce, Red Hood was in Blüdhaven, following Black Mask. Babs and I had a fight with the guy, she managed to kick his helmet off. When he turned to face us... We saw Jason's face."
Bruce looks away.
"I know it's hard to believe... There was a lot of light to surprisingly... But I saw his face, I'm not lying... I would never lie about something like this."
"Please give me a moment... This is too much to take in..."
Bruce leaves as he walks in the direction to the batcave.
