The next day Jason woke up, his wound felt much better. He got out of bed and went to grab the gun under the bed that she hid. Then he opened the door and aimed his gun outside for any danger but all he found was Ace cooking pancakes that could rival Alfred's. He walked up and sat down at the table while still looking at her. She could barely reach the cupboard. She set the plate in front of him and they ate in comfortable silent. "sooo," he trailed off "How did I get out of the warehouse?" he asked remembering her reaching over and then the dark. "I teleported you," she answered softly. Jason just stared at her for a while. "Did they do experiments with you?" he asked. "No, I was born this way," she answered. "Are Harley and Joker your your real parents?" he asked, "well, not birth," she said. "but they said by blood," Jason pressed. "experiments, their blood was pumped into me," she answered quietly while taking their plates and washing them up in the sink while Jason followed her into the kitchen and helped dry the plates. "what's your real name?" he asked suddenly. She took a moment to think. "It's Celestia but people call me scarlet," she answered truthfully. "Whys that?" he asked. "i guess the scarlet blood I spilled," she answered. "you've killed before?!?" he asked shocked. "yeah.." she trailed of. "So who gave you that nickname?" he decided to go into a lighter conversation. "Talia and Ra's," she answered slowly. "Your an assassin!" he asked almost dropping the plates. she didn't answer.

They both went to the living room, then Jason saw the news. It was batman running towards a warehouse that suddenly exploded. Batman then fell to his knees and then Red Robin and Nightwing both drag batman away to the batmobile. "he actually came," Jason said out loud. He suddenly looked at Scarlet and found she was watching with a slightly guilty face.

"hey, what's the matter," he asked. he didn't want to admit it but he had grown a small attachment to the little girl. "nothing, Bats probably beating himself up over this, again," she says. "Common, you have to go back soon." she says turning around and gesturing for him to remove the shirt. She took off the bandages and placed her fingers on the wound. Tiny sparks flew through her fingers and healed the wound. "Wow" Jason said under his breath. After a few minutes his wounds were fully healed. "here you will need this," she says tossing Jason a bag full of is gear from that night joker stole all his stuff. "what for?" he asked.

"Your going to meet bats at 12," she says then walked out the room. "what do you mean?!?" shouts Jason after her.

/////At night/////

Jason and Scarlet went out of the window near 12 and started making their way across the rooves. Scarlet was in her non makeup form but with a red mask and cloak on, similar to red riding hood's. When they got to a high building Scarlet told Jason to go in to the shadow. "Why?" asked Jason. "because, if he sees you right away he will think I kidnapped you or something," "You did kidnap me," replied Jason smirking under the hood. "Wipe that smirk off your face red, it's also because when he sees you he will be distracted by you, giving me the chance to slip away," "aww, if i'm red then your little red," says Jason all smiley. Then he stopped "wait your going, Why?!?" "cause I'm only training here, might see you next time I come though, now go to the shadow," she replied coolly. Jason looked like he wanted to say something but then he closed his mouth and walked away. In about two minutes bat came. "who are you?" he asked in a deep voice. "we'll get to that later, are you missing someone?" she asked a slight smirk. Batman clenched is hand "I've got no time for games, tell me why you asked me to come alone here," he said through gritted teeth. "sheesh, just returning what you lost," she says pointing to Jason's hiding spot.

Jason came out of his hiding spot. Batman went slackjaw. "Jason is it really you?" he asked fearfully. "In the flesh," he replied pretending to look at his guns instead of his mentor. "Jaybird!" shouted an all too familiar voice. Jason was then stuck in a bone crushing hug. "oi, you gave our position away!" Shouted Tim nearby. "Wait, she's getting away!" shouted Tim again pointing to a peice of cloth turning a corner. Batman, Nightwing, Red Robin and Red Hood soon went after the person. The chase went for about 5 minutes. "Just give up!" shouts Tim who was puffing a lot. Suddenly a scream filled the silence around them. Scarlet stopped and looked down at the alley below here, there was a ten year old pinned to a wall by a man with a knife near her neck. Not thinking about this for a second, Scarlet jumped down, snapping the guys neck upon impacted professionally. Inside Scarlet was screaming at herself about why she did that.  "tt, scram" she said to the ten year old you then started running away.

"Not, the best way to handle that," came a gruff voice. "ugh, what!" snapped Scarlet turning around to meet the bat clan. "hey, we just want to talk," said nightwing forcing a smile, trying not to look at the dead body right next to him. "well I don't want to talk," Scarlet said reaching for her gun but found it was gone, she snapped her head to Red hood. "Give it back red," she says through gritted teeth.

"Red?!?" asked Nightwing. "Not till we talk little red," said Jason dangling the gun in front of her but out of reach. "Little Red?!?" said Nightwing looking at them back and forth. "is she your daughter Jason," deadpanned Bruce. "what, No!" shouted Jason looking at Bruce giving Scarlet the chance to snatch the gun off Jason and teleport to the top of a far-away building. "See ya next year Jay, and don't tell batsy my past or who my parents are or I reveal you identity to the world!" she shouted while waving her hand and teleporting away out of sight.

Jason huffed and turned around only to get the 'explain now' look from everyone. 'Great' he thought, 'now i have to explain why they saw me die since I never came out of the building, Why i know that girl, why I call her little red and how she can teleport without mentioning her past or parents.'
