fighting

Tim was at the mountain hanging out with his team. Trying to escape the fighting of his older brothers, fighting of any type wasn't a rare occurrence in fact you knew something was amiss if there was no fighting, only this time something was different...something was wrong the fighting he was avoiding was between his two older brother Jason Todd and dick Grayson, sure Jason was a rregular fighter but Dick wasn't Dick usually played peacekeeper dick never shout at your screen even went past the point of return in anger and he was never physically violent unless in uniform or in training.

So obviously dicks Newfound anger had turned the whole house into chaos.

It started just over 2 weeks ago Tim had just arrived at the cave after a mission instead of dicks usual greeting of hugs and hellos. Tim was met with the pair of shouting and screaming at each other. Instead of sticking around Tim rush upstairs in search of some answers.

Much to his luck he quickly found Bruce and Alfred drinking some coffee. Obviously he asked but their answers where much the same "no idea but don't worry it will probably sort itself out" Tim obviously agreed otherwise he would have pushed some more however a week later and the flights and short tempers continued Tim turned to his last easy source of answer. Damien. The only answer he got was the usual "pesant in my presence be gone" but when Tim finally got an answer it was much the same. The demon didn't know.

Another week went by which led to right now and clearly wasn't going to sort itself out and Tim was at a loss at what to do peacekeeper wasn't his usual job. He usually fought with Jason and fell victim to Damian. Dick made it seem easy he always seemed to know exactly what to say to Calm everyone down as Tim listen to his team chat around him he's vow two things the first being he was going to thank dick for being the best and second he was going to give it another week before attempting to intervene and doing so successfully but he knew was wishful thinking.

Few days later the fighting had ceased and the silent treatment condensed Tim and everyone else couldn't tell which was worse one when they were fighting they atleast acknowledged each other's presents now they're completely blank each other. Tim soon found out the silent treatment as much much worse because Dick didn't come on patrol with them he stated he was too tired and locked himself in this room.

Tim Damian and Bruce were gob smacked they were beyond confused usually it was hard to make dick stay behind the now he was choosing to. If the if they didn't know something was wrong before they definatly knew something was very very wrong now. Tim kicked himself he knew he shouldn't have waited so long

An hour into Patrol was when Tim finally backed up the courage to actually ask Jason about the fight. " heard what is going on with you and Nightwing?" Hood side deeply " replacement it is really none of your business." Tim glared at the older "I think it is because your constant fighting has turn the house upside down" I paused to take a breath before continuing "we're walking on eggshells here" Tim demanded, Jason didn't react instead he continued to survey the old factories. Sensing he wasn't going to get anywhere like this he took another angle. In a much more pleading tone can basically begged. "Please Jason" he slipped in his real name knowing he would get reaction "I can't, we can't let this family fall apart again" Tim saw the moment Jason broke so Tim had to push a little more "please tell me I want to help".

Jason sighed deeply and let his head fall against his chest "I know you do, ok, I know but I can't tell you. This is between DickieBird and I" Tim was surprised ag Jason but now understood that this was serious so it's only reply was a whispered "ok"

They fell into tense silence for the rest of Patrol. When we get back to the cave they haven't said anything since just as they were about to split off into different directions Jason caught him by the shoulder and looked in deep in the eyes "it will be ok, it will always be ok I promise" Tim could see the pain in his brother's gaze he nodded and watched as tracing like they walked away leaving Tim confused and sad but completely trusted and believed his older brother's words.

Tim decided to quickly get some food before heading up to bed. But as he knew the kitchen he heard a noise. Tim moved into the Shadows where he could see the kitchen. What he saw scared him a lot standing with his head bowed and His Hands grasping take the at the counter. Tim could hear and see tears running down dicks face. Tim decided he has no choice but to go in. Standing in the entryway Tim spoke gently "dick?" Dick instantly reacted completely turning his back wiping his tears while saying "what do you need to Tim?" Tim was amazed that dicks voice didn't waver. "I just came to get some food before heading upstairs. Are you ok?" Dick turned around with all traces of crying gone. Tim didn't know what to say so we just nodded. "OK well I'm going to go upstairs don't stay up late" dick said as he slipped past Tim.

Tim didnt know what to do. Sure he trusted jasons word but at the same time he had just found his eldest brother the brother that made everything okay crying. Tim wanted to hall but just didn't know how.
