It was a peaceful morning at the manor and Tim was enjoying his second cup of coffee when he heard the little pitter patter of Jason's feet on the hard wood floor. He looked up from the tablet in time to see his little brother walk into the family room, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

"Good morning sleepy head." Tim chuckled, helping Jason onto the couch next to him. "How did you sleep?"

"I slept okay." Jason yawned, resting his head as he leaned against Tim. "Did you sleep okay, Timmy?"

"Why, yes I did, thank you for asking Jay." He smiled, ruffling the boys hair. "Do you want some breakfast?"

Jason shook his head, mumbling something about waiting for double D before snuggling closer to Tim. He was trying to read what was on the tablet. "Can we watch some TV?"

Tim flipped onto the TV app, scrolling til he found some cartoons for Jason. The two brothers sat cuddled on the couch for another two hours, not noticing as Dick and Damian came down stairs and helped Alfred make breakfast.

Jason's eyes widened as he watched the colorful superhero on screen, giggling as he thought of something. "Timmy, the one in red is like you."

"Oh?" Tim looked at Jay with a smile, prompting more information.

"Mmm, he is kind and smart. The one in blue is like Dickie because he worries a lot and takes charge." Tim snorted. "The green one is Dami because he laughs and plays and is fast."

Tim pointed at the screen. "Which one are you, Jay?"

"I'm the black one because I am the baby but also a cool ninja!" Tim chuckled, kissing his hair. "Don't laugh at the ninja!"

"I wouldn't dream of it." Tim laughed, looking up when their brothers walked in. "Look who decided to roll out of bed."

"Dude, we have been up for awhile helping Alfred with breakfast. Come on, its ready." Dick waved them to the dining room, the brothers following along and taking their seats. "Jay, what do you want to eat?"

"Waffles and eggs please?" Jason's mouth watered at the display on the table. "Orange juice! Yay!"

They ate in a comfortable silence, only asking for more food or drink. Once breakfast was over, Dick turned to his siblings. "My shift today ends at three so I'll be home by four, depending on traffic."

"Where do you work?" Jason scrunched up his face.

"I'm a cop, little man." Dick smiled, turning to the other two. "Keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't get hurt."

"Dick, I have school. Monday, remember?" Damian pointed at the calendar. "And Tim has to be in the office since father is...on a trip?"

Dick cursed under his breath. "Tim can you bring him to the office?"

"That would raise so many questions plus the press. And I have meetings all day." Tim groaned in frustration. "I hate my job."

"Can Superman babysit me?" Jason piped up, a hopeful look on his adorable little face.

"He is very busy today, little man." Dick frowned, scooping Jason up in his arms. "Although, maybe the team wouldn't mind? Just until we got home?"

Damian narrowed his eyes. "If anything happens to him..."

"Relax, he will be okay." Dick pulled out his phone, dialing Kaldur.

"Hello Dick, what's up?"

"I need a favor from you guys..."

Once the brothers had finished explaining everything they needed to know, Damian threatened their lives sufficiently, and they said good bye to their youngest, it was just the team staring at the five year old Jason.

"Hi Jason, I'm Wally. I'm good friends with your brother Dick." Wally crouched to Jason's level and he cocked his head, looking over the miniature version of their once teammate.

"My name is Kaldur. This is Artemis, Conner, and M'gann." They all waved, eyes glued to the small child in front of them.

Jason grinned up at them and began bouncing on his toes. "Did you know my house has its own swimming pool? And movie theatre? But coolest of all it has a library that is much better than the city library! Come on, I'll show you!" He darted off, grabbing Wally's hand in the process.

The team exchanged glances as they hurried to catch up, saying hi to Alfred when they passed him. They entered the library to see Jason starting a stack of books near the fire place.

"Dickie said I couldn't play hide and seek or tag with out one of my brothers here. And Timmy made me promise to be good and not cause you guys trouble." Jason looked up from the pile of books with a grin. "Dami likes it when I read, it gives him a break from always losing. Do you want to read with me?"

Conner sat next to Jason and looked over the stack of books, all seeming way too old for a five year old. "Do you want one of us to read these to you?"

"No thank you, I got it. Damian says it is im..impr..impressive! That I can read some of them for my age. I lived at the library until dad took me in, reading came easy." Jason squished his tongue with his teeth and grabbed a bookmarked book, looking up at the young adults. "You guys can read too!"

They smiled and each grabbed a book, pretending to read as they chatted through the mind link.

Holy crap, what is with this kid?

He is rather impressive, I must say.

He has so much energy I bet Wally is jealous.

I kind of am to be honest. But look how adorable he is with his little tongue poking out.

They looked over at Jason, he was reading a rather thick book with a look of concentration. His eyes widened and he slammed the book shut looking at the team in shock.

"I need to use the potty." He stood up and started bouncing. "Timmy says I can't be alone because I am 'a walking disaster magnet'. Please, its an emergency."

Kaldur sighed, standing up. "Lead the way." Jason bolted out of the room, Kaldur barely catching up as the door to the bathroom slammed shut.

A moment later they returned to the group and Jason jumped back on the couch, much more relaxed. "Thank you, Kaldur. Dickie doesn't like when I don't tell him when I need to potty."

They frowned, exchanging glances. "Why wouldn't you tell him?"

Jason shrugged, chewing his lip. "My old daddy and mommy didn't want to see or hear me at all, even if I needed to go potty real bad. If I had an accident, they would make me clean it up and-" His breathe hitched eyes going wide and distant.

"Jason? Are you okay?" Artemis approached slowly, not wanting to scare the boy. That failed when she placed her hand on his knee.

He flinched back violently, screwing his eyes shut. "I'm sorry, daddy. It won't happen again." He whimpered, curling into a tight ball.

"Jason, hey, its okay. You're safe and-" Wally was cut off by the little boys screaming.

"Please! Mommy, help me! Don't let him take me there again, please mommy." Jason croaked, grabbing his hair. "I'll be good. Not him, not him. Please."

"M'gann, call Dick. Conner, call Tim. I will call Damian's school. Wally and Artemis, do not leave his side." Everyone nodded, taking to their assignments.

Fifteen torturous minutes later and the brothers raced in, seeing Jason's state. Damian demanded an explanation while Tim went to get ice.

Dick walked up to Jason, moving his friends who stared helplessly. He took Jason in his arms and began to hum, waiting for Tim to come back.

Once Tim walked in with a bowl of ice and a cup of water, they got to work.

"Jay, baby boy, its us. You are safe and at home with family and friends." Tim placed an ice cube on Jason's wrist. "Focus on the cold and come back to us. It is me, Timmy. Remember, you are safe here. You are loved. You never have to see that man again. Just focus on the ice."

Dick picked up an ice cube and placed it on his pulse point on his neck. "Jason, its Dickie. You are at home. You are with your brothers. My friends are here too. Just breath."

Damian took a cube and held it to his other wrist. "Hey, short stack. Damian here. Come back to us so I can show you who the real slow poke is." Dick shot him a look.

Jason blinked his eyes open, looking around the room. "W-what happened? Why am I cold?"

Damian took Jason into his arms and gave him a giant squeeze. "We gave you an ice bath, no biggie. Have some water, Jay."

Jason gulped down the water, turning to face the group as he got comfortable on Damian. "You smell like cheap tater tots."

"Takes one to know one."

"Meanie." Jason yawned, settling into Damian for a nap. "You know, in a past life you were a bed."

The room broke down laughing as Damian glared, playing with Jason's hair until he fell asleep.

"You are all lucky Jason is in the room." He hissed.

"Dick, what was that all about?" Conner asked, looking at Jason's sleeping form.

"Flashback, happens." Damian bit back, not wanting to share anything.

"Damian, if they are going to babysit in the future they need to know." Tim sighed, looking at his friends. "His parents were very abusive and any time he did something 'wrong' or 'bad' they brought him to a man who-"

"Assaulted him, sometimes bringing friends." Dick finished, murder in his eyes. "If I find out who that is or where is biological father is so help me-"

"Dick-"

"No, Tim, I don't care. He is a child for godsake and he is already this traumatized? Years before meeting Batman? No, I don't care about those rules. I will go full on Red Hood if I have to." He snarled, shocking his teammates.

"I'm with Dick on this one." Damian piped on. "Not because murder." He looked down at his little brother, brushing away some fringe. "Because anyone who hurts a child is an enemy of mine. Especially if that child is my brother."

Jason snuggled closer to Damian, unaware of anything happening in the room.

The team shifted nervously. "We should probably get going." Conner pointed at the door.

"Nonsense, stay for dinner. Jason naps usually for an hour, Damian might pass out with him." Tim snickered, dodging the pillow thrown at him. "Let's go watch a movie."

As the movie was wrapping up, Jason walked into the room with a dishelved Damian.

"Hello sleeping beauties."

"Shut up Wally." Damian grunted.

"Its not my fault I am so snuggly and warm I put everyone to sleep." Jason giggled, climbing up next to Tim and Dick. "What're you watching?"

"Well, it just ended but it was The Hunger Games." Artemis offered up.

"Books are better, the last one was boring." Jason sighed, ignoring their looks.

Before they could ask, Alfred fetched them for dinner. They all sat down, Dick helping to serve Jason before himself.

A lively discussion about this, that, and everything got well underway before Dick's phone rang. He excused himself and left the room for a few minutes, returning looking visibly distraught.

"Dickie, what's wrong?" Jason asked, sipping his water.

"The League is on their way back to Earth. They will be home within the week." Dick groaned sitting back in his chair with his head in his hands. "What do we do?"

"We can keep the League distracted while you three figure things out here?" Wally suggested, shoving some potatoes in his mouth.

"That would be nice, Wally." Tim sighed, looking at Jason who was blissfully unaware of the conversation. He sat there playing with his food, giggling uncontrollably when a bean splatted against Conner's forehead.

"Oops! My bad." He squealed, jumping out of his chair and bolting out of the room as Conner chased him playfully. "I bet you are slower poke than Dami!"

"Oh it is on!" His brother leaped into action, making Alfred sigh. He missed the sound of happiness in the manor.

"Conner! Don't break my brothers!" Tim yelped, hearing a crash. M'gann rolled her eyes, smiling as they all joined in the chase around the manor, weaving through the hallways and outside.

"Dickie, save me!" Jason tackled the oldest Wayne, causing them to roll down one of the sprawling hills in the yard. The team watched as tears of joy streamed out of their eyes.

"Join them, peasent." Tim shoved Conner, who took M'gann and Wally with him. "Ha! A Three for one deal!"

Damian smirked, pushing Artemis and Tim, who yanked him down too. "Curse you, Drake!"

They all ended up in a pile at the bottom, laughing hysterically for the first time in ages. Once they mostly caught their breath, they noticed the pair of red boots standing not too far away.

"Superman!" Jason untangled himself, bolting towards the Kryptonian and easily scaling him to rest on his shoulders, his favorite perch. Jason pulled Superman's head back, looking into his eyes. "Do you want to play hide and seek?"

He smiled at the hyper active child, patting his head. "Later, Jay, okay? I have to talk to your brothers right now."

Jason crossed his arms and pouted. "Okay, but I am staying right here." Superman nodded, turning to look at the gathering of teens and young adults.

"So, I have...news." He winced, not because of Jason playing hairstylist with his perfectly manicured hair but because of the reactions he was going to get.

"Is it the League?" Tim tried to keep a straight face as Jason worked The Man Of Steel's hair into a mohawk before ruffling it into morning after hair. He glanced over at his friends faces and saw the same bewildered looks.

"Yes, they miscalculated their flight and will be here by tomorrow night." Superman flinched when Jason yanked his hair so he could swing sideways and stare at his face.

"Are you talking about the Justice League? Wait, you have to be don't answer that." He jumped off his shoulders, leaving Supes hair a mess. "Why would they need to know though? Wait, I don't care, can I meet Wonder Woman? She is so beautiful and I bet she knows lots of stories!" He whirled around to look at his family. "Does this mean Dad knows them too? Aw, if he doesn't he is going to miss meeting them, his trip doesn't get back for another week."

Everyone exchanged glances, unsure of what to do. They thought they had a week to prepare and that Jason was too preoccupied playing with Superman's hair to listen.

"I'll call dad and see if he can make it home early to meet the League, how does that sound Jay?" Tim's quick thinking saved them from disaster as Jason's tears retreated.

Now, they had to worry about a different Wayne.
