"Why exactly do you need chloroform at 2
AM?"

Jason's voice was low and gravelly partly from his younger years of smoking, but mostly because his family insisted on calling him on his nights off. Granted, the only reason he was off was because of the broken leg he'd gotten from a very ambitious leap he'd taken off a building. He'd caught the bad guys and made it to the Cave before he had even registered it. Still, it led to him spending more time with Babs and less time out in the field. The only real upside was the extra sleep that he was supposed to be getting.

    
"We aren't at that level in our relationship where you can ask me that," Tim replied flatly over the phone.

"But we're at the level where you can call me this early in the morning for chloroform?" Jason asked skeptically.

"You can ask anyone for chloroform. I could ask Dick for chloroform."

"Then why didn't you?" Jason questioned and hated that he was becoming more aware. It had taken him hours to shut down the nocturnal part of himself and go to sleep.

    
"Don't be ridiculous. Dick doesn't have any chloroform," Tim scoffed.

    
Jason made an indignant noise in the back of his throat before replying, "What makes you think I do?"

There was a moment of silence before Jason sighed.

"Why don't you just get some from the Cave?"

    
"Because then a certain someone might suspect something."

    
This time the silence was much longer, and only because Jason was trying to keep the grin out of his voice.

    
"You're going to use chloroform on Damian?"

    
"I may or may not be attempting to put it to put it towards such a purpose," Tim replied, and Jason realized Damian was probably with him.

    
"Why?" Jason asked, already sitting up and stretching.

"Because I ran out during Stephanie's birthday party yesterday and forgot to refill," Tim replied in a tone that said that he would explain no more of that day.

    
"No, why are you going to use chloroform on Damian?"

    
"Jason," Tim stated, and that one word held all the explanation he needed. Jason nodded even though he knew Tim couldn't see it.

    
"Fair enough. But I want a video."

"Fair enough," Tim echoed before hanging up.

The next day no one saw Damian once, he was later found in his wardrobe with a murderous grin painted on his face.

And somehow the video made it onto youtube and went viral, Bruce wasn't happy about that.
