I am so excited about the direction of this story. I know I said that the Team would only appear sporadically but I couldn't help myself (oops). But don't worry, its going to involve more Batfam from here on out. Know why?

Bruce learns the truth.

The boom tube opened up in the Watchtower, startling the heroes that were training there. They looked up, surprised to see Artemis, Barbara, Conner, Dick, M'gann, Kaldur, and Wyynde in their civvies with a familiar woman, a teenager, and a child.

"What's going on?" Tim asked, watching the group closely.

"Where's Batman?" Dick asked, ignoring Tim's question.

"He's in a meeting with the rest of the Justice League. What's happening?" Tim asked again, narrowing his eyes at the three strangers.

"We have some people that he needs to speak to." Artemis replied, walking over to their medical supplies. She pulled out some disinfectant and gauze, walking over to Dick and Conner, handing it to them.

"What happened to them?" Stephanie asked, eyes going wide when she saw the boys from the grocery store all those months ago. "You two!"

Jason held Damian tighter, narrowing his eyes at Stephanie. "Who are you?"

"I'm Spoiler, who are you?"

Jason looked at Talia for direction and she nodded. "I'm Jason, Jason Todd." He heard something clatter to the ground and turned his attention to Tim, who was staring wide eyed at the trio. Jason saw the costume he was in and narrowed his eyes. "Hello, Tim."

Talia placed a hand on Jason's shoulder, calming the anger that boiled up inside him. She turned to Dick with an expectant look. "Bring Batman to us or we will be taking our leave."

"I thought you said you needed to talk to him?" Conner asked, wrapping his hand in gauze.

Talia smirked. "I have a Motherbox, I can just go to his house and discuss this matter with him another time."

"How did you get a Motherbox, by the way?"

"Savage gave it to Ra's as a thank you for my services." Jason butt into the conversation. He turned to Talia, adjusting Damian in his arms. "Can we go home now, mother? It is clear that they are not going to bring Batman to us. I doubt he is even-"

"Here?" Jason tensed at the voice, turning slowly to look at the man he once called his father. Batman, upon seeing Jason's face, paused in his step, the other Justice Leaguers stopping behind him. He looked between Talia and Jason, narrowing his eyes. "Talia, how long have you had Jason?"

"Two years." Talia replied, keeping her hand on Jason's shoulder as she sensed the turmoil of emotions within him.

"Wait, that's Talia al Ghul?!" Stephanie cried out. "Who is the child, then?"

Jason growled, hugging Damian closer to him. Talia looked down at them before turning her gaze to Batman. "I believe we should talk, in private, Bruce."

Batman steeled his jaw. "No. Whatever you have to say, you say it here, now, Talia."

Talia nodded. "The child Jason is holding is Damian al Ghul, my son. Or, more accurately, our son, Bruce." Jason tensed at that, looking up to Talia to see if she was being serious. Talia was looking straight at Bruce, holding eye contact. Jason looked back down to Damian, noticing the similarities in his features with Bruce. Talia squeezed Jason's shoulder. "Ask us any questions, we have nothing to hide."

Damian snuggled closer to Jason, peeking out to look at the heroes. He gasped when he saw where they were. "Jay, are we in space?! That's so cool! I wanna see more."

Jason chuckled, walking towards the windows. "Anything for you, little demon." He stopped in his tracks when he saw Tim and Stephanie blocking his way to the windows, arms crossed over their chests. "Move. Or I will move you."

"Jason, no violence. We are not here to fight." Talia spoke to Jason with a warning in her tone.

Jason narrowed his eyes at Tim and Stephanie and they moved aside, allowing him to walk over to the window with Damian in his arms. Damian plastered his face against the window, staring wide eyed out into the cosmos. "Jay! Look! Earth!"

Jason kissed his hair. "I see, little one."

"Only 'cause I told you."

"Only reason." Jason smirked, chuckling when Damian whacked him on the shoulder.

Bruce watched Jason and Damian interact, a pang in his chest. He turned to Talia with a stoic expression. "How do I know he is mine? I will need a DNA test."

Talia nodded. "Certainly. But you can't tell just from looking at him? He looks just like you, beloved."

"I will still need a DNA test. On both of them."

Jason heard this and felt anger spike within his chest. He turned to Bruce, adjusting Damian in his arms so that the small child could still stare into space. Jason sneered at Bruce. "Why do you need to test my DNA?"

"I need to confirm you are really Jason Todd before I bring you to my home."

Jason saw red. He stalked over to Talia, handing her Damian, who protested about being away from the window. He continued onwards towards Batman, ignoring how the Justice League and the Team tensed when he got within a foot of Bruce. "I don't know what kind of delusional world you live in, but I am not leaving my mother and brother for a man I don't remember. I am staying with the al Ghuls, I don't care what you or anyone else has to say about it. Try and take me away and well...we'll see how that goes for you."

Batman stared at Jason for a moment before turning to Talia. "What have you done to him?"

"I haven't done anything but accept him as my own." Talia answered truthfully. "If you want, have the Amazon use her lasso on me."

Wonder Woman stepped forward, wrapping her lasso around Talia's wrist. "Have you done anything to alter this young man's brain or way of thinking?"

"The only thing I have done to 'alter' Jason's mind is inform him of his past life, before he died, as he remembered pieces of the puzzle. There is no brainwashing or mind games being played. I have always been completely open with both my sons." Talia answered. "I love them both and would do anything to protect them."

"Is this young man really Jason Todd?"

"Yes. My father and I did a DNA test on him as soon as he came onto our radar. He is Jason Todd."

"Why does he not remember his past?"

"The Lazarus pit restored his body but not his mind. He is slowly remembering his past and I have been answering his questions as best I can. I have not withheld any information from him once he remembered it." It was silent for a moment before Talia spoke up again. "Jason, grab the lasso. I believe they have some questions they want to ask you, as well."

Jason obeyed, walking back to his mother and taking a bit of lasso to wrap around his wrist. He turned to look at the Team and the Justice League with a raised brow. "Well?"

"What was your relationship like with the al Ghuls when you first came back?"

"I was trained to become Damian's protector. I am his guardian, his big brother, his loyal companion. Talia accepted me as her own a few months after I was introduced to Damian. Before that, she was my guardian, my trainer, and my best friend. Ra's al Ghul is the Demon's Head, I owe him and mother my life." Jason answered, narrowing his eyes at the group before him. "I will serve and protect the al Ghuls with my every breath. If any of you try and separate us, I will-"

"Jason." Talia spoke coolly, eyeing Jason with a warning.

"Sorry, mother." Jason bowed his head.

"Talia, if we were to unlock Jason's memories of his past, would you stop us?"

"No. It is not my place." She glowered at the heroes. "But if you hurt my son during the process it will be the last thing you do."

"Of course. M'gann?" Batman turned to M'gann and her eyes began to glow.

"Jason, let the Martian into your mind." Jason nodded at Talia's words, closing his eyes as M'gann entered his mind.

He felt a burning sensation in his mind as the worst headache he had ever experienced hit him full force. He collapsed to the ground, holding his head in his hands with a groan.

The last thing he remembers while he was conscious was Damian screaming his name, jumping from Talia's arms to run to him.
