Dick is legal guardian Bruce is dead... this character ^ is real by the way, if you don't believe me it is on comic vine and such :D

The batboys have always been known to be sneaky.  So it came as no surprise to anybody when Tim Drake was snooping in Dick's room.  He had been snooping to find some diary or something on how to deal with girls, but so far, no luck.

Instead, he found something much more interesting.  

He had been searching through Dick's drawers, looking for a diary or a journal.  He had sifted through many family photos and had suffered through many pictures of him with red heads.  Seriously, the guy had an issue with gingers.  Wally, Roy, Kori, Barbara, Megan, Katie, Carrie, Garfield, Iris, Jason(when he had red hair).... the list of them didn't really have an end.

He had suffered through many of them, and instead of just setting them down, he had looked closely at each one, analyzing it and figuring out who each person was.  So far, it was easy... picking them out.  Damian here, Wally there, Roy in this one, Conner in that one, Bruce and Clark over here, Dinah with Oliver, Alfred and Lucius with their tea... it was easy to identify.

Until he came upon a certain picture, buried deep in the corner of the drawer.  It was of two boys about the same age. Dick was obviously the first one.  The the ice blue eyes, the big smile, the bright blue Haly circus shirt and shorts decorated with elephants had given it away.  But the second boy, the second boy was the opposite.  His hair was blonde, cold blue eyes, and a smile that looked evil.   His shirt was a black turtleneck and his pants were a dark gray with a knife imprinted on the side. Nevertheless, both had an arm around each other and they were both smiling.  It was a dusty photo, and on the back was inscribed in a handwriting Tim had never seen:

Dickie-boy, you have no idea how sorry I am.... when I got you blamed, it was out of spite, and you know it was.  How perfect you always were annoyed me... as I know it annoys you.

But now, I see why.  I see how.  And I respect you for it.  I hope you can forgive me.  But I know you already have, and I've already been forgiven without a question.  But, some of me wants you to be mad at all I've ruined for you and every perfect thing you had with Bruce.  I'm sorry.

I know that you're really a great guy.  I hope you have more brothers, that are better than me.  I know you'll make a great brother though.  I was always bad, but I was your first brother.  I hope you always remember me for that.

And I realize now, that I do love you.  And thanks to you, I've learned the meaning of love...

Your very first brother,

Lance

Very first brother?!  What the hell?!  Did Dick know that Tim was going to be rummaging in here and had planted something weird just to get a reaction out of him?  What was this awfulness?  Who was this person?

Tim was shocked... and this was not necessarily a secret he couldn't let Dick get away with.  He need to know who this was.  And now... but first, he had to consult with his other brothers.

+_+_+

"Why are we in your room Drake?" Damian asked, throwing around Tim's math pillow to Jason.

"I have no words except.. LOOK AT THIS!" Tim said, shoving the old photograph at his two brothers.

He watched as Jason's face turned upside down and back again and he frowned, Jason ceased the pillow passing and looked closely at the picture squinting, "What the-"

"Language Jay!" Tim cut him off with a perfect Dick impersonation.

"Oh shut up, but no seriously, what is that?" Jason asked, yanking the photo away from Damian, who was making a sickened face at it.
