Family Day arrived with unusually clear skies.55Please respect copyright.PENANAXgFq3OplfG
For once, Gotham’s usual gray haze had split open, letting through patches of soft, clean blue. Jason roared down the gravel path to Wayne Manor on his motorcycle. The crunch of tires over stone broke the silence of the wide courtyard—like a long-forgotten sound stirred awake.
He hadn’t expected to be the first one there.
When the front door opened, Alfred was already standing there, waiting.55Please respect copyright.PENANAcOOfEn9XbO
His aged yet resolute face resembled an old house—cracked, but still standing firm.
Jason walked over and gave a quiet “Morning,” before pulling him into a brief hug.
Inside the manor, the familiar scent and cool air wrapped around him like a time capsule.55Please respect copyright.PENANAkOnbwQ9807
He didn’t linger in the hall. He went straight to the Batcave.
The space beneath was like the subconscious—cold, vast, buried deep, packed with memories and secrets.55Please respect copyright.PENANAXlHjmlM2Gh
Tim sat at the main console, fingers flying across the keyboard, the glow of the screen painting his face in pale ghostlight.
“Hey.” Tim looked up, surprised.
Jason just nodded and walked calmly to another workstation, sitting down.55Please respect copyright.PENANApt6lC39PhD
He began reviewing system data like a veteran soldier reacquainting himself with the battlefield.
But Tim kept glancing over.
Jason ignored him at first. He was used to everyone around here looking at him like he was some kind of ghost.55Please respect copyright.PENANAjgPV2xWCMX
But this time felt different—Tim’s gaze wasn’t guarded. It was just… curious.
“…Can I help you with something?”55Please respect copyright.PENANAke75ONcsVI
Jason finally released the keyboard and turned, leaning against the desk, his tone dry and a little teasing.
Tim straightened up, a bit sheepish.55Please respect copyright.PENANAQKr2aEA0Ko
“Um, can I ask a few questions?”
“Go ahead.”
There was a scholar’s obsession in Tim’s tone.55Please respect copyright.PENANAyDZtfJMyUo
“How did you become Robin?”
Jason blinked.55Please respect copyright.PENANAuUGaA6Bq58
“I slashed the Batmobile’s tires. Bruce didn’t want me to go bad, so he brought me home.”
Tim was speechless for a moment, clearly struggling with how absurdly specific and chaotic that origin story was.55Please respect copyright.PENANAMStzFgEx6r
He blinked a few more times, giving Jason a look that practically said that’s how legends start?
“Why… why did you slash the tires?”
Jason tilted his head, as if fishing up an old photo from some dusty corner of memory.55Please respect copyright.PENANAiVx9FNHY8F
“…Robin hadn’t been around for a while. I wanted to check what was going on.”
“You knew Robin back then?”
“No.”
Tim frowned. “Then why were you worried about him?”
Jason looked down. “I got hurt. It was Robin who brought me to the hospital.”
The room fell quiet for a beat.
Tim turned back to the console and pulled up a file.55Please respect copyright.PENANAONuc8zxMBs
Buried deep in Gotham’s system, almost covered in digital dust, was an old report still clearly logged:55Please respect copyright.PENANAO7LP9BlxGQ
“Robin delivered a suspected abused child to an unofficial medical station.”
Jason stared at the screen, his unfocused gaze slowly sharpening—like a memory tide rising.
Tim scrolled upward, checking the records above.
His brow furrowed.55Please respect copyright.PENANAs9sFb05aBX
“…Strange. Robin’s patrol log says he was in the North District that day, dealing with a bank robbery.”
“Your neighborhood was in the South District.”
Jason shrugged silently.55Please respect copyright.PENANAL3WRfAnB7W
“Maybe… just a hunch?”
Tim didn’t buy it.
Just then, a familiar voice chimed in.55Please respect copyright.PENANA0rFt3kS543
“Hey, Little Wing.”
Dick entered, beaming like the first sunshine after winter.55Please respect copyright.PENANALdFcdrqs5c
He strode over and pulled Jason into a big hug. Jason pushed him off with a mock scowl, but didn’t really resist.
Then Tim got hugged, too. He didn’t fight it—just looked a little embarrassed.
“What are you guys looking at?” Dick leaned over to peek at the screen, and his eyes lit up.
“Whoa, this was the day I first met Little Wing. The day destiny kicked off.”
Tim cut straight to the point:55Please respect copyright.PENANARYqCBZzC0n
“Why did you jump from the North District to the South? How did you know Jason needed help?”
Dick scratched his head, eyes reflecting a flicker of memory.55Please respect copyright.PENANA57QP9OgQed
“Oh… I heard a girl scream ‘Robin.’ So I went to check it out.”
Jason’s head snapped up.
He walked toward Dick, like a drowning man finally catching sight of a lifeline.
