"Timmy?"

Said person gave a short hum of acknowledgement.

"Watcha doing at this time?" Jason questioned, pulling the helmet off his head, allowing onyx hair to settle freely.

"Just going over unsolved cases," he replied, not bothering looking back.

The silence that followed the answer consisted of Tim typing on his keyboard loudly, and both of the males' breathing echoing in the Bat Cave. Jason lazily scanned the text on the computer screen, narrowing his unfocused eyes at the information after a second of reading.

"...What on Earth?" the older one muttered. "A portal?"

"That's what I thought," Tim agreed. "Never expected to find a small file about some portal appearing in the JL headquarters from an unknown source. I've read through it a few times though, and it seems weird that it was just written off."

"Tell me about it."

Red Robin clicked on a displayed document, scrutinising the details.

"It only opened up for a minute at the most, apparently. The only one who could comment about it was Green Lantern, who said something about it being from...a positive magic source? So they wrote it off...?"

Jason huffed. "Seems dumb."

Nodding mutely, Tim decided, "I'm going further into this."

"Yeah, you do that, Timbers," his brother said, straightening his posture and walking out of the Bat Cave.

However, before his foot exited the cavern, he turned and reminded, "Don't forget that business meeting you have to attend tomorrow."

"Yeah, I won't," Tim responded. "Who can forget someone as stiff as Gabriel?"

"Ugh, don't remind me," Jason mumbled. "And I thought Bruce was a piece of wood."

"I am the Switcher!" a voice exclaimed, reaching from the streets to the inside of homes. "You all wanted me to be someone else? I'll show you what it's really like to be!"

Nightwing stared at the flying figure wide-eyed, standing beside the majority of his family who had almost matching expressions.

"What the fu..."

Jason trailed off, watching as the - obviously a villain - raised their hands towards a couple gazing in wonder at the sky. A beam shot out from the palm of each one, one being a vibrant yellow and the other being an electric blue.

They shot the woman and man, enveloping them in a blinding white light before it faded into nothing. However, the two soon turned to each other, with the female suddenly standing in front of their partner protectively while the other trembled.

"So...they switch people's personalities...?"

"It appears so Nightwing," Batman answered. "We better stop this meta first, then find a cure for the swapping."

With several affirmative nods, the family leaped into action, jumping across rooftops to make their way to the villain. Tim grappled onto a nearby roof, sprinting straight forward and then landing gracefully on the ground beside the switched couple.
