An Omega's Business

An Omega

Tim returned to the cave after some extra "errands" he had for the duration of his night. His quick invasion of Jason's privacy, would only be the first bit of snooping he'd accomplish in that night.

By time he had gotten back to the cave was nearly 6:00 in the morning, which was fine considering he barely slept anyway, but on the down side he'd have to come up with an excuse.

Tim didn't feel like doing that, he'd rather continue on with his work uninterrupted. So he took the hard way. A tightly fitted route that led to a spot of the house it would be easy to sneak in and out of.

The route was made mostly for 'robin' and Tim became familiar with it quickly. It was new enough for him at the time, freshly used in fact.

It was a secret passageway that Dick didn't know about, which made Tim, in his younger years, feel he had been the first to use it, and a genius for doing so. Now he knew better.

He remembered it dearly, how it smell like cinnamon, and spice, a scent he'd come to find belonged to Jason, which made sense considering he was the first to use it.

The route was tighter than it used to be, not from its own enclosure but because of his growth. It was also dustier, a key sign of age. It still smelled like cinnamon, with only a short whiff of Tim's creamier scent from his youth. This signifies that Damian had not yet found the spot, and thus filled Tim with pride for it all over again.

The route led to a bathroom of which no one was using very often, it was rather close to Jason's old room, but not Jason's bathroom.

He made sure to listen in for any noise at all before jumping through quietly. He wait a second before turning on the faucet as a cover up, and quickly taking off his gear, and setting it in the path he had came from. He'd get it later.

He washed his hands to make it really seem believable, and casually walked out.

He walked down the hall without a care in the world, and hoped he could make it to the lab without confrontation. He was slowly approaching a commonly used entrance to the cave. Once he had reached it he sighed in relief and reached for it knowing he had won.

"Hey, Tim." A kind voice from behind him. Dick.

"Good morning, Dick." Tim said trying to mask his tiredness.

Dick smiled, "So..."

Tim looked away and back to Dick nervously, "so, what?"

"So where have you been Timmy?" Dick asked as though it was obvious, in hindsight it probably was for him considering his alpha sense of smell.

"Out, y'know...out." Tim answered nervously, he usually could keep his cool when interrogated, but when approached by one's second-head alpha it made the situation slightly intimidating. Not only that but while Bruce was off planet with the justice league Dick was in charge. So now faced against his temporary head-alpha he felt disadvantaged.

And Tim knew he was slightly in the wrong here since he had promised to sleep.

Dick looked at him with his kind eyes for what felt like a whole minute, he then got closer to his younger brother putting his hand on his shoulder.

Dick tilted his head slightly in curiosity, "Jason's?" He said nearly surprised.

"Uh. Well, yeah..." Tim answered.

Dick's face softened in a familiar kind of satisfaction.

Tim smiled back awkwardly believing that the conversation would be over, and he'd get to work without problem.
