The Soulmates Who Aren't Soulmates

Chapter 4

Tim sat at the roof. Again. With loud music in his ears, this time it was Nico and the Niners by Twenty One Pilot. They are definitely his favourite band.

It's been half a day after Tim sent Bruce the details that the box needed for Dick and Jason to go back home.

The sun was in the middle of the sky and the air was cold around him.

His phone beeped every now and then because Bart decided to send him lots of 'Tik Tok' videos.

Tim really wanted to feel something except of... well whatever the fuck he feels right now. After all, Tim had done it. It wasn't the amazing feeling he wanted to feel when he fixed technology that he never saw (well at least this version of him) from another universe in something like 87 hours. Nope. Instead he felt some kind of emptiness because he have to let other Jason and Dick go back to their Tim. To their home. To their universe. He can't be greedy about it, there's in another universe another version of him that deserves to be cared like Dick and Jason cared for him in the short time they were in his universe.

It was really, really hard for him to send Bruce the fixed technology. But... he has to. For Dick and Jason. He said he would get them back, he wants to believe he is a man that can fill his words. No matter how hard it would be for him.

The pair is sleeping now, in the spare bedroom in Tim's place, and Tim don't have a heart to wake them up.

For now he just listening to the music.

With a flash of light, and they are gone. Back in there world.

Tim took deep breath and clenched his fist as he stood up from the chair.

And before he could have exited the cave he was stopped by "Tim." and turned around to look at Bruce. "B."

Bruce's face were definitely siruos, "I never had a chance to really talk to you about you trying to kill Boomerang" but his voice wasn't batman's. Which was strange because Tim only talked to batman for the last two years. And with what he just said.

'Something here's wrong'

"You know B, what I do with my dad's killer is none of your business." Tim growled at him.

"Don't talk to father like that! Apologies now or I will stab your's spleen out and make you eat it"

Okay, so maybe if Tim weren't so deep in the dep sleep train with a bit (a lot) of sadness he would ignore this. But... "First, no. Second, you need to choose another organ, maybe one that I have, you know, just suggesting"

The reactions came pretty fast. Bruce narrowed his eyes, Dick shouted "You don't have a spleen?!”, Jason's mouth open in shock and Damian had nothing to say.

"Oh shit. I planned on keeping it to myself"

Now that they know, maybe it's a good time to call Kon and Bart, visit San Francisco. Go under the radar for a couple days, until it would be forgotten and everything will go back to the way it was. With Tim helping but without anyone appreciated the help. Or retuning the help. Like he asked for ten minutes in a row that night. (It was Bart and Kon who found him at the end, after he only whispered "Kon" and they helped him. Not his so-called family.)

And before anyone could react he was already out of the cave, pulling his keys out of the pocket and driving away.

***

"So, let me get it straight, you met much more nicer versions of nightwing and red hood, who took care of you and made you romantic dinner-"

"It wasn't romantic, and it was breakfast"

"Same thing"

"No, it's really n-"

"Shh, you are interrupting me, anyway, food, and then you helped them back to their universe, snapped at batman and told all the bats that you don't have a spleen-"

"It wasn't all the bats-"

"You keep interrupting me."

"Sorry, keep going"

"Thank you! -and then you just turned around and left?"

"Well, kind of... I guess"

"Dude, you're so screwed"

"Listen Kon, can you please just come and take me to the tower?"

"I don't think batman will appreciate that."

"I would"

"Then yeah sure, tell me when you are ready"

"Must of my things in the tower, so now?"

"Good, I'm on my way. Don't get in troubles please"

"Me? Troubles? Kon I have never got into troubles"

"You really want me to remind you that you just told all the bats you don't have a spleen?"

"Ok, no more troubles."

"Good, now bye"

"Bye"

And with a beep the call ended.

Tim put the phone down on the island and sip all the coffee that reminded in the cup.

'Maybe I should sleep. If I told the bats that I'm spleen less.. well that means I really need sleep.'

He put the cup down and signed.

'In couple of days it would be fine. They would forget about it. And it's not like they care about me.'

His hand went back to the cup and he frowned when he remembered that he just drank al the coffee.

'Kon won't appreciate it if I would make another cup'

After couple of minutes that he fought the urge to make another cup of coffee the security system alerted him that someone was trying to get to his home, 'Kon' and he pushed the button that allows people to get into his space.

The door opened and he didn't saw Kon.

"And they told me not to put security camera there" he whispered more to himself than the intruders.
