The Soulmates Who Aren't Soulmates

Chapter 10

Damian dosen't get it. He has came from another universe to see his brother. The one that he lost with his father, only that his father was still around he just couldn't remember him (or see anything except of darkness). And his brothers told him that Timothy's family didn't cared for him, and now they are?

He knows that Richard would never lie to him and that's means that his family from another world was suddenly interesting in his brother.

"Wait" Jason's -His Jason's- voice came loud and clear "What do you mean you didn't believed him when he said Bruce was alive?"

Both Richard looked each other in the eyes, one -His Richard- seeking the lie and the other looks ashamed. That was hard for Damian to see. To understand. They really didn't believed Timothy.

"It's Tim!" His older brother screamed at his other self "Since when does he believes in something without a proof?"

This universe Richard looked like he was going to break down and that's when this universe Jason stepped up and did the talking.

"There was a body and Dick was batman! He couldn't just go!"

"And were where you?" It was the first time Damian talked in at least twenty minutes, all the eyes in the room turned to him and then his Jason asked the same thing.

Jason's voice was filled in sadness and hurt: "I wasn't.."

"You weren't here for him?" His Dick cut him in the middle of the sentence. "God how could you do it? I went with him when Dick was batman!"

Damian knew they didn't treated Timothy good but to let him go alone... Damian didn't even wanted to think what the guy went through. He looked at the other family he jad in this universe with disgust and with all the respect he had for Richard and Jason he couldn't look at their doplegenders and think of them as his family. The respect he had was for his Richard and Jason. Not to any other versions of them.

Grayson's voice was weak when he started to talk "..And Damian?"

He looked up at the group "Timothy gave me his robin suite."
'It is hard to stand in his shoes, he was after all the best of them' He completed in his mind.

"So Tim..?" Tood dragged on the question, like he didn't found the words to ask.

"I asked him to be my robin," Jason's voice was full with emotions "When he agreed to be red robin.. It was like he expected the soulmates again"

Damian noticed Richard's hand finding her way to Jason's and squeezing it with understanding.

Damian would never know how it would be to lose his soulmate. Well, that was a lie but it wasn't like he knew his soulmate. It just that some night his heart hurt like part of it was taken away (breaking the rest, letting it shatter) and by the morning his mark was dark and fading (Timothy was right there for him. To help him get over someone he never knew and never will.). It hurt him so much, but he didn't even knew his soulmate, it must be hurt even more when you know each other. He knows it still does because when that day come Richard and Jason can't leave Timothy's grave stone (Talking to the cold stone for hours, bringing flowers. Richard once said that he was sure that Timothy's soul was there as well because he felt the bond. Jason agreed.)

And the talking went on for the entire night.

The sun started to rise, painting the sky in orange that came through the little cracks that were broken in the window so he couldn't close them, like golden lines in the darkness of the room.

The bed was warm, warmer than his body, his hair surrounds his head like a crown. He looked up and even though he knew exactly what he was starting at his eyes didn't catched a thing from his surroundings.

Pelea is curled against him while he's petting her head. The black fur felt nice between his fingers, sliding against his finger pads and barely tickling his finger tips.

Tim couldn't sleep. He just couldn't. He tried to fall asleep but his mimd refused to shut down. And he didn't had a thing to do (Kon made sure of that) so his mind was running. And it was never good.

'We don't want you here.' Dick's voice said in his mind, loudly.

'We left you alone because you're rotten' His free hand gripped the blanket that was thrown next to him, half on his belly and leg.

'I should've left you there to drown' Jason's voice echoed in his mind.

'You disappointed me' It was hard to hear Bruce saying that again but he knows that's the truth. He always disappointed Bruce.

Suddenly, Pelea waked up and stretched her little body. She looked at him with those big brown eyes and like she senseit whe claimed on his chest and curled there, her head under his chin and her slow breath somehow relaxing him.
