"Jay I think Damian's gonna fight your dad." Steph said as she watched Damian approached Willis Todd, Jason lifted his head up from his book and peered downwards, sure enough Damian was slowly floating towards his father. "Well at least he won't die again." Jason said, he was worried for his father but he knew he could hold his own against the tiny stabby ghost.

"Mr Todd, I heard what you did to father, and because of you he's become even more paranoid and has started smothering Drake, Cain, Thomas and Richard to no ends, so thank you for that. Richard was insufferable the first time I came around." Damian said plainly, Steph's and Jason's jaws dropped and Willis himself gaped at Damian for a little bit before just nodding.

Jason and Steph watched in disbelief as Damian didn't say anything else to Willis over giving his father a mental breakdown, Jason soon left to tell the news to Eddie and Steph to Cass.

"Ok so what are doing about Duke?" Steph asked the other Robins who were in the library, Jason was reading as always, his ghostly body splayed across his favourite armchair and Damian was playing with his pets in a corner, both looked up at the question, Damian raised a single eyebrow and asked "What do you mean Brown?"  Stephanie shrugged "I mean , none of knew him, except for Damian and he just stalked him-" "Gathered information!-" "And then haunted him that one time, honestly he seems like a pretty cool guy. Sooooo let's invite him into our messing with Bruce club? Also I heard he's from the Narrows!" 

Jason hummed, "I mean it wouldn't be bad..... what do you say Damian?" The two turned to look at the little ghost who seemed deep in thought, after a few moments he huffed. "Well most of them know about our existence anyways, might as well tell him too." Stephanie grinned "Brilliant!"

Jason peered over Duke's shoulder to see what he was writing, and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was an essay on Hamlet, It was really good with little to no grammatical errors! Jason picked up a piece of paper from Duke's desk which Duke didn't see a he was too focused on writing his essay and then picked up a spare pen, again, Duke didn't notice. 

He wrote 'Hey man! Good job on you essay! I'm sure mrs Anderson will give you a good grade! She always loved kids like you who actually knew what they were writing!' He thrusted the note in front of Duke and when he saw it Duke yelped and launched out of his chair, Jason laughed as Duke saw him and screamed. "Calm down! I'm not going to hurt you!" 

"HolyshitDickwasrightwe'reallbeinghauntedohmyGod-" Duke was cut off by a something soft tapping him on both shoulders. Shivers went down his spine as he slowly turned around to see Stephanie Brown standing there, a pillow in both hands. She grinned when he turned around "Hey!" Duke opened his mouth again but another voice, this time from above him said "You've screamed enough Thomas don't embarrass yourself further." Slowly he looked up to see Damian Wayne, floating upside down, his eyeless domino lenses staring deep into his soul.

"A-a--a" 
Duke's eyes rolled into his head
thump

The three Robins stood in silence as DUke fell right through Stephanie. After a beat of silence Jason spoke "Well at least he didn't scream." Stephanie burst out laughing as Damian clicked his tongue.

Duke awoke to the sound of three voices, by their tones it sounded like they were....arguing?
"YOU TWO ARE OUT OF YOUR MINDS IF YOU THINK YOU HAD ANY PART OF THE PROCESS OF MAKING HIM FAINT!" Damian bellowed, Stephanie was about to fire a retort when Jason shushed her, "He's waking up!" he said. The three floated over to his bed as Duke opened his eyes. "Hey! Sorry for freaking you out earlier, please don't faint on us again." Steph said and Jason grinned sheepishly. 

"What.The.Fuck." Duke said, Jason chuckled as Damian clicked his tongue again, "Yeah I guess that's a fair thing to say" Steph said. Jason stepped in front of the two others and said
"Allow me to explain things from the beginning. "

"So you two are the reason Bruce got colds so often..."


"Yeah and my dad too."

"YOUR WHAT"

***

"oh so you're from the Narrows too?"

"Yes! Jay's from the alley!"

"Sweet!"

***

"Why were you stalking me?"

"why were you parading around with my name,getting arrested and jumping off of bridges?"

"I-"

"Don't mind him, he's Bruce's kid, privacy is a concept he never understood."

"Todd we are brothers and you have been stalking people ever since you died."

"He's got you there Jay."

"Shut up."

***

By the end of their little five hour long chat they had found a new ally, Duke, to help with their master plan in revealing themselves to Bruce, Kate, Barbara and Cassandra was also helping but having the whole family except for Dick and Tim would be nice.
