Tim was in the library, looking outside the window with sorrow. He was having a heavy gut feeling of grief and guilt that was always within him. Then, he heard the library windows open. He heard Orphan's voice.

"Red Robin. I brought them."

He looked behind to see her, Miss Martian, and Raven.

"What took so long?" Red Robin asked.

"I had to convince them that you and I had no intent to harm them. I found them at the main hallway (CHAPTER 4)" Orphan said.

"Also, we want some answers." Raven said.

"I am all ears." Red Robin said.

"Why us?" Raven asked.

"I learned that you two have the ability to manipulate minds and hallucinations. I want you to make Robin have the happiest memories relapsing in his head."

"B-B-But that will make him suffer more..." Miss Martian tried to protest.

"...I understand Miss Martian. But it is actually opposite. Robin is right now in rage and these happy memories will calm him down. It will convince him to stop what he is doing." Red Robin replied.

"Why are you doing this? You could have asked Nightwing for help. Not to mention you BETRAYEDour friend Batgirl... Not to mention Batgirl is also your cousin...(TNWC PART !: Chapter 8-9)"

"FIRST, BATGIRL JUST MADE THINGS WORSE ENOUGH FOR THE WHOLE BATFAMILY. YOU CAN JUST SIMPLY PUT THAT SHE IS A SHAME IN THE FAMILY. SECOND, Nightwing has done enough effort that he and his wife are nearly tiring themselves... I want to help them.I-"

"I don't think that is the main answer..." Miss Martian said, interrupting Red Robin.

"...." Red Robin became very silent.

"I could feel it. You have a huge sense of regret. Regret involving about you and Robin..." Miss Martian said.

"What is it?" Raven said. She looked at Orphan, who had a sympathetic look at Red Robin.

"....I..." Red Robin heavily sighed for a long moment. He then started to tell the truth. And Raven and Miss Martian know that he will be telling the truth.

"Robin and I... We fight a lot... Mostly to gain Nightwing's attention... You know, it is usually a sibling rivalry... But sometimes, it turns into a very violent or hurtful situation... The day where Robin was sent to Metropolis... Before he left, we had a fight... I.... Something in me snapped... I told him to go f*ck himself... Possibly to even just kill himself..I... I felt horrible... I wanted to apologize to him. W-Whoever thought that place would makeROBIN DO IT? Not to mention Batgirl creating that disaster...OUR OWN FAMILY MEMBER... I NEVER THOUGHT THAT...Oh.... I... Believe me, I WAS SO ANGRY AT BATGIRL.... But I was also ANGRY AT MYSELF THE WHOLE TIME. I wanted to apologize and I felt like I could lose my chance.... You know... I was excited to have a younger brother, but I should have expected how his childhood past of being a trained assassin would change his personality... I was just naïve for the smartest member in the Bat Family... I should have known....I just want to make everything up for Robin. I want to show that I care for him... that I care for everyone..."

"...You want to make up for what you did to Robin..." Raven said with a sympathetic look.

"...Yes. Only Orphan knows about this." Red Robin looked at Orphan.

Orphan nodded.

"So, how do you want us to do this 'plan'?" Raven asked.

"There will be a meeting with Robin at Metropolis National Park. The time will be night. When Robin does not see you, you finally take action by replacing his vision with happy memories. And MAKE SURE THOSE MEMORIES ARE REAL. ROBIN WILL KNOW." Red Robin said.

"....Are you sure it will work?" Miss Martian asked nervously.

"I saw Damian's reaction when he met Nightwing and Starfire at the Hospital (CHAPTER 5). The plan WILL work."

"....All right. We will do it. Not because we are helping you, but because Robin is a small child who is hurt terribly by this school. We are so sorry Red Robin. And we are sorry to the other Bat Members too. We need to fix mistakes. But please, don't be mad at Batgirl for this. She tried her best to help Robin." Raven said. Miss Martian nodded her head.

"........I understand. Go back to your dorms. Be heavily prepared for this plan, because it would also mean DEATH." Red Robin said.

Raven and Miss Martian nodded their heads and left the library. Orphan then left the library as well to make sure the 'villains are behaving'.

Tim sighed and sat down on the office desk. He was all alone in the library as he was still making reports about some students. Moments later, the Red Hood came into the library.

"Yo Babybird." Red Hood greeted.

"Don't call me that. And I'm busy." Tim harshly said. There was a few moments of silence until Red Hood still talked.

"I saw Orphan leaving here, know where she went?"

"In the cafeteria. It is lunch time for the villain students to cause trouble."

"Oh good. Because I wanted to privately talk to you."

"What do you want Hood?"

"Why are you bringing hard work onto yourself sometimes?"

"I was like that Jason."

"Well this one is different Tim. YOU CAN'T CONSTANTLY BEAT YOURSELF UP TO MAKE EVERYTHING UP TO NIGHTWING AND ROBIN. "

There was tense silence. Tim's eyes widened in horror.

".....HOW LONG HAVE YOU HEARD ME?" Tim asked.

"I heard everything from the library. I happened to pass by Timmy. I never knew that was how you felt. And do you know why I wanted to listen to you?" Jason asked.

Tim looked at Jason.

"Because I always saw you suffering. You were always quiet. You always talked to me in the past. F*ck Tim, you live in MY APARTMENT. I KNOW YOU TIM because you are my F*CKING BRO. And I KNOW HOW YOU BEHAVED."

"So what.... You will tell everything about me to Dick?" Tim asked.

"No. I won't."

"What?....Why?"

"Ah... Well. It is humiliating as hell. But... I am slightly jealous of him..."

"Jealous? Jealous of his happy life?" Tim asked.

"N-No. I'm jealous of the attention bringing to him..."

"What? What are you talking about? Sure, he may be the eldest and that Bruce cares the most about him. But I thought you hate B-"

"No! I'm f*cking JEALOUS OF HIM OF YOU PAYING ATTENTION TO HIM." Jason flushed as he raised his voice.

Tim stared at him wide-eyed.

"Before you went to this family, you REALLY looked up to me. And since when did I have a huge fan? Yeah, I hated you since you became the next Robin, but then I realized you and I have tough sh*t happening to us... You know, I did multiple attempts to kill you, but you forgave me. F*ck Timmy. You could have hated me forever and I was fine with that. But you still had been a fanboy to Dickie too and you two hit it off while I pushed you away. And THAT WAS MY F*CKING FAULT. You know, we all have to owe to Dick that he managed to make us have amends and live together like roommates rather than bros. But you know, I felt like having one. One baby bird that I can share problems with. But I couldn't do that... Fuck I can't even call you 'Baby Bird' yet Dickie can!?"

Tim looked down, not knowing what to say.

"So yeah. I'm jealous of Nightwing. Because he took YOU away from me. God... This is embarrassing... I can't help being an @sshole... I can't beat his kind treatment to you."

"....I can't say anything Jason. I don't know what to say..."

Jason looked at Tim with a straight face but with sad eyes.
