Bat-Family Oneshots

Meet the bro's pt 2

previously:

The boys managed to manoeuvre there brother onto the medical table when Nightwing mumbled "mmm sleepy, i think im going to take a nap" the last thing he heard was the distant voice of his brothers telling him to stay awake.

The boys weren't that worried as they dealt with this type of thing on a day to day basis, but both the reds could tell that the team of teens were freaking the fuck out. Red Hood who had just about enough of this snarled out "You fucking pansies, sit the fuck down and shut the hell up". He then turned to face his brother who looked so calm and relaxed. He looked to were Red Robin was applying pressure to the wound and said "Red let me take over im stronger and can apply more" Red Robin nodded silently and moved up to his brothers head, detached his cape and made a pillow. 

After a moment Red Robin said, "Who matches his blood type again other than Dad?" Red Hood didn't even hesitate before saying "Robin" Red Robin nodded before turning his com on with a click of the tongue "Red Robin to Batwing" after a second the voice of the youngest sounded in his ear "Batwing here" "Robin when you arrive at the mountain I need you to go straight down to medical and get it ready, we are also going to have to takes some blood" "Received" and with that the connection cut.

Wally who was freaking out much more then the rest considering it was his best friend who was lying on the table said "Aren't you worried that your brother lying on the table" Red Robin lifted his head slightly to look at the speedster "The question that you should be asking is why are you worried, isn't he just a cheat and liar?" Wally didn't know how to reply to that so he didn't. 

Once they arrived at the mountain the two brothers quickly moved there brother into the med bay and onto a more effective med bed. The team followed behind and waited a few moments until Red Hood came out his hands still covered in blood. "Why aren't you in there?" Artemis asked curiously Red Hood sighed "Because I don't have as much medical knowledge as Red and Wing has so id get in the way". The group fell into silence filled with awkwardness and tension after a while Wally asked the question they were all dying to know "Why did he call you? We obviously could have handled it if he had told us that cutting the tubes could have defeated them" Hood couldn't help but chuckle darkly and right as he was going to answer Robin walked out, pulling his sleeve down. "My brother is a self-sacrificing idiot, he would never put your lived in danger, why is beyond me considering you are a bunch of imbeciles that do nothing but mock and ridicule him he did try and tell you multiple times but you chose to ignore him. Even the Harlots ignored him which is strange because he is usually flocked by whores like he is a piece of meat" 

Red Hood doubled over laughing before stuttering out "Nightwing isn't going to be happy when he finds out you said that!" but it was clear he was enjoying this too much "Hush Hood I was only stating the truth and the truth is he has no problem finding a bedmate" Red hood slowly calmed his laughs and said almost mournfully "Him and father both".

Then Robin came out cleaning his hands and said "He's alright and already trying to get out of bed, so move the conversation in here" they nodded and moved into the room were Nightwing was sitting up in bed pouting like a child. Red Hood burst out laughing at his brothers face earning himself a glare. When his laughs died down he turned to the team and said "What my brother was trying to say before is that you failed to listen to some critical information that put all of your lives in danger. He's called us because we are a team and have each other backs no matter what he knows he can trust us and quite frankly he didn't want to die or you to die and again why? we have no idea" 

Wally sniffed "Well red riding hood, You have no idea what he did to us, how it felt to be played and kept in the dark, he manipulated and played with our emotions. You have no idea how that felt" Nightwing noticing his brother was about to lunge and squawked "Catch him" it took both robins to slow him down enough to calm down but he still shouted "I don't know what it's like? Ha shut the fuck up I was manipulated by the joker into becoming the very thing that killed me, the court of owls manipulated me into destroy the very thing I swore to protect and oh golly gosh you want to talk about real manipulation, try living in the same house as the freaking Batman his whole god damn deal is manipulation. Ask the league how many times he has manipulated them into a situation of his choosing but if you ask them that ask them how many times it saved them. If it happened once and you can't get over it, you have no business being a hero. Because as long as there is a Bat-clan there is going to be manipulation, cheating and lying" 

Once he was silent they stepped back. Red Robin Scanned his eyes over the group and said in a matter of fact tone "Do you want to know what I think your problem is? I think that you're angry not because he lied but because you couldn't tell reality from fantasy, you couldn't tell the lies from the truth and worst of all you could tell really emotions from hs fake. Your angry because you have the powers to be human lie detectors, conner with your super hearing and m'gann your ability to read peoples minds. Your angry because it didn't work, your angry because he stripped you of what makes you special and left you ordinary." 

Kaldur tipped his head to the side an said in an almost frightened tone "Could you tell?" Red Robin did not lift his gaze and said "I can tell when he was lying, I can tell when he was telling the truth, I could tell he was scheming and planning and I could see the pain and regret it all brought. To the Bat-clan, he is an open book. But if your question is if I knew the plan, the answer is no and I didn't ask. He kept me in the dark" 

Red Hood smiled devilishly "I knew it, I was the failsafe. I helped him plan it and was the back up in case something happened to him, of course, he would usually ask the bat, But Wing was kind of playing not only the Hero of Baldhaveh but the big bad bat and playing leader for your team. It got to the point where we had to trank him just to get him to sleep and eat. He ran himself into the ground"

Nightwing who had said nothing to contribute to the conversation saw the looks he was being sent "Im sorry that we lost Tula and all the rest but im not going to apologise for going through with the plan because im not sorry and im not sorry for keeping you in the dark because if i had to do it all again I would, because I did what I had to, to ensure to keep the most people alive and when I asked Tula to partake in my plan I told her the exact likely hood that she may not survive,  she knew the risk she was taken just like Hood and I did" 

The room fell silent as they all thought about it and it stayed like that until Nightwing said "I feel like going on the trapeze" the team looked at him and his brothers glared "What?" he asked innocently. Robin said in his usual superior tone "Absolutely not, you were stabbed you are staying in that bed for the next two hours and they were going home and ill give you to Agent A and he'll make sure you rest" Nightwing pouted and said fine. 

the group left the room and Nightwing lay down and watched the ceiling.

Wally was walking past medical and decided to check on Nightwing when he goes to the bed where they left him he noticed that the bed was made, with no evidence that there was ever a person in here. He sped out the room and into the kitchen were his team were and said "Hav you seen Nightwing?" they all shook their heads except Artemis who says "What are you babbling on about Baywatch he's in medical" Wally shook his head and said "Oh yeah?" "Yeah" is all she said in return he smiled and said "Oh ok can we go and see him?" they all sigh and agree after all they wanted to apologise anyway. 

They made their way there silently and when they got there it was much like how wally found it except this time on the bed lay a not saying. 

'Gotham calls and I would just like you to know that I resign from my position on the team, this has nothing to do with any of you. I just want to spend the rest of my days fighting with my family I belong in the Bat-clan and nowhere else. This does not mean you can't call for help because of course, I would come, im also thankful we had this chat I hope we cleared the air

-Nightwing'

 "Didn't he just get stabbed? and he is already going to defend Gotham from god knows what?" Artemis said only reading the first 2 words. Wally just chuckled before saying "He's Nightwing what do you expect?" 

they fall into silence as they finished the letter and a while after "Did he leave becasue of us?" M'gann asked sadly. Wally sighed before saying "No i dont think he did you saw the way they faught together, he belongs with them, he belongs in the Bat-clan"
