"Jason! Haven't seen you in a while! How's it been?" Roy asked as he fist-bumped Jason. 

"Same old same old." Jason replied. Then he turned to the rest of the group, "introductions?" 

"Right. This is Blue Beetle, Supergirl, Wonder Girl, and Artemis." Roy pointed out each person. 

"Aren't you going to introduce them?" Artemis asked as she gestured to the Bat Fam standing next to her. 

"Nah. I don't need to know them." Jason smirked. 

"Why?!" Jaime asked. 

"Yeah...about that..." Dick said as he scratched the back of his neck. 

"And what's with the helmet?" Cassie asked. 

"It hides my true identity. But since you all already know my name, might as well." Jason said as he took his helmet off. He had black hair with a white streak on his bangs. 

"If Jason is your real name, what's your...alter ego name?" Artemis asked. 

"I go by Red Hood. I don't understand how dark shades here cares so much about his secret ID." Jason said as he gestured towards Tim, who crossed his arms. 

"Uh, his name is Tim." Cassie said, putting her hands on her hips. 

"I know. We've known each other before any of you met him." Jason said. They all looked at Tim. 

"Really?!" Cassie asked. 

"Yeah. Same with Dick and Babs." Jason said. 

"You know their..." Kara muttered. 

"Yeah. Because I know them all behind those masks. Bats too." Jason said and they all looked at Batman. 

"How?" Artemis asked. Jason looked at Roy, who just shrugged. 

"Wait a second...you're one of the hologram memorials on the Watchtower...but...doesn't that mean...you're dead?!" 

"Hahahahaha! Aha, you're a smart one. But Roy and I got some catching up to do. Allow your Bat friends to explain me further if they wish." Jason said as he and Roy walked back into the cave. Then they all turned to the Bat and his three birds. 

"Okay, can you please explain?" Cassie asked. 

"Well, Jason was the second Robin. After me." Dick said. 

"And about five years after becoming Robin, he was killed by the Joker." Tim said. 

"But then...he came back. From the dead." Barbara said. 

"How?!" Jaime asked. 

"It was Ra's al Ghul. He saw something in Jason that told him that...he could become someone useful...but when he came back, he became something evil." Batman said. 

"Red Hood." Dick said, "he killed people, made deals with bad guys, and went against Batman." 

"Uh, if he did all that, why is he still here?!" Cassie asked. 

"Because some time after, we all realized that he's not all evil." Dick said, then he gestured towards Tim, "Tim here told us how he would invite Jason over to his place sometimes, and that he was nicer than we all thought." 

"He helps me with some missions. Of course he can be rude and stubborn, but we all know that that's not 100% him." Batman said. 

"So there isn't a whole lot about him that we should worry about." Tim said as they all walked back into the cave. Then they all saw Roy and Jason in the kitchen talking to Bart and Garfield. 

"Hey, have you guys met Jason?" Bart called. 

"I know them already." Jason said as he took a sip from his soda. 

"So, uh...do you...use those guns?" Jaime asked as he pointed to Jason's pistols on his hips. 

"Yep. Never leave home without'em." Jason replied as he patted one of them, "but I wouldn't use them on anyone here. Unless you get on my bad side, and you don't want to see my bad side." 

"Trust me. I've seen and experienced it." Batman said. 

"Now if you kids don't mind, I want to know how your Zeta tubes work. I've been curious as soon as Roy said the name and I had no idea what he was talking about." Jason said as he walked to the nearest Zeta tube. Then Roy followed and pulled up a holo-keyboard and showed him how the Zeta tubes worked. 

"He seems nice." Garfield said. 

"You have no idea." Barbara said as she looked at Tim and Dick. 

"Well, nice to meet you all, but I gotta go." Jason said as he put his red helmet back on. 

"Where?" Batman asked. 

"Oh, just wanna get going if I'm going to get from Happy Harbor to Washington DC by motorcycle." Red Hood said. 

"I see..." Dick said. 

"Well, you always were the most observant one, Dick. Well, cool seeing you birds again. Be seeing you." Red Hood said as he hopped onto his motorcycle and drove off rather quickly. 

"Well, someone's in a rush to get away from here." Tim said. 

"He seemed really crash! When'll we see him again?" Bart asked. 

"What did he mean when he said 'be seeing you'?" Kara asked. 

"Don't know... Let's just hope it's nothing destructive or reckless." Dick answered.

"There. It's all on the flash drive." Red Hood said as he held up a flash drive in front of him. 

"Very good. Now we will have access to the kiddy cave without them knowing." A deep sinister male voice said. 

"Now, what we agreed?" Red Hood asked. 

"Of course." Another male more business-like voice said. Suddenly, a brown bag was thrown in front of Red Hood. He bent down and opened the bag. Then he chuckled. 

"You said money and that girl's address, but you never said anything about this." Red Hood chuckled. 

"It's just a token of thanks. Same model as Arsenal's arm." The business-like voice said. 

"Well, well. If you enjoy your little gift...why don't you come join us?" A female voice asked. 

"I appreciate the money, and the gifts, but I'm only here for the business." Red Hood replied. 

"Oh, son! I'm all about business." the male voice said. 

"I mean the money. And I work solo. Besides...." Red Hood looked at the ground, "I'm not all evil. I can't work with a group on either side." Red Hood said. Then he picked up his bag of loot and walked away. 

"Hmm...zen shall we contact our second option?" A strong French voice asked. Then the sinister voice started chuckling. 

"We shall."

Red Hood walked up to the front porch of a quaint little house just a couple miles outside of Gotham. He rang the doorbell, and a blonde female about the same age as Tim answered.

"How can I.....Jason?!" the girl said in disbelief, "what are you doing here?!"

"We need to talk." Red Hood said as he took off his helmet. 

"This late?" the girl asked as she looked around outside. 

"Yes. It's about...the team." Jason said. The girl put her fingers to her chin and thought, "they might need your help." Jason said. 

"But...what about Tim?" the girl asked. 

"It doesn't matter right now. I just gave the bad guys information that could put them in danger. You should go stand up and fight with him again. For his sake. And just like the good ol' days." Jason said. 

"Mmmm..." the girl thought. 

"You still love him don't you?" Jason asked. Then the girl looked at him in shock, then scoffed. She stepped aside and allowed him to come inside.

"You know, you really have changed, Jason." the girl smirked. Jason laughed, 

"You've really changed, yourself....Stephanie."
