Batman and red x walked through the dark halls of Arkham asylum. Yelling, laughing and every sound in-between where echoing on the halls. The two came to a desk and the nurse stiffened.

"We need to see scarecrow. Now." ordered batman not in the mood to play games. The nurse nodded and picked up the phone dialing a number ad mumbling something Into the receiver.

"Room 14-" she was cut off the batman.

"I know what room." the dark knight walked away fallowed by red X. After a few twists an turns down the halls of the asylum they reached a door with the numbers 14375 on it. The guard in the hall came over to batman and unlocked the door letting the two heroes inside and locking the door behind them. In the dimly lit room a figure sat on the bed mumbling incoherently and in a stray jacket.

"Batman, I thought you forgot about little old scarecrow." the figure said and neither batman nor red x moved a muscle.

"Deathstroke, does that name ring a bell?" batman said darkly.

"Yes, nice fellow. Good old Deathstroke, how's he doing?" batman grabbed scarecrows stray jacket and shoved the villain against the wall.

"Did he come to see you, yes or no." there was a silent pause in the small room until scarecrow spoke again.

"What's in it for me?" the villain smirked.

"I don't break your legs" batman replied.

"Okay, okay. Yeah the man came to see me, said he needed a batch of my fear gas in liquid form, a form that only lasted for a couple of minutes. As you know my services don't come cheep but when he said it involved breaking you bats, I couldn't say no." red x growled and walked over ready to punch scarecrow in the face but batman put a hand up to stop him.

"Were done here." the older hero let go of the villain and swiftly left and a steaming red X fallowed him silently to the bat mobile. After a minute of driving Jason spoke up.

"So what does this tell us?" batman kept his eyes on the road but answered.

"Scarecrows fear gas make each person see their worst fears right?" red x nodded

"Yeah, we have both been effected with it before."

"Exactly so what's dicks worst fear?" red x now understood.

"All of us dying like is parents. Batman you a genius!"

"I know."


The first thing robin heard when he woke up where a couple different voices talking in the distance. "So how do we convince him we are alive that it was all a vision?" he recognized that voice but the teen just couldn't put his finger on it.

"We need to take it slow." robin knew that voice too, it was his fathers.

"Dad..."He said weakly opening his eyes to see his team, batman and red X. Batman was at his side faster then the flash.

"Hey kiddo, look I know what you think but-" robin cut him off.

"No you're dead, you're not real you're not real." robin shut his masked eyes tightly.

"We are dick." That was Jason's voice Dick knew that but how? "Slade gave you a dose of scarecrows fear gas, made you see us die." Robin opened his eyes and looked around the room; his team looked worried along with his adopted father and brother. Robin groaned swung his legs around the side of the bed and stood up swaying a bit. Cyborg was at his side and helped him; Robin just waved his friend off and clumsily walked to the sink taking off his mask and splashed water on his face. Dick already figured that if batman and Jason were here calling him Dick- that meant that the titans already knew his identity.

"I'm an idiot, I should have recognized the fear toxin." Robin turned around and got blank looks from his team, probably because they have never seen him mask-less before.

"The one thing I don't get is why. Why would you work for him freely if you thought we where all dead?" Batman asked taking off his cowl.

"Well I was and I wasn't. The reason I agreed to be his apprentice is so I could get him to pay for what he did to you guys." Dick said sitting on the edge of the medical bed.

"Did you even think that through?! He could have killed you! Actually turned you to the other side." Bruce scolded his ward.

"I thought you where all dead! I didn't have much room to think of a plan now did I?!" Robin yelled getting angry now.

"I obviously instilled too much trust in you when I let you come to jump alone; I've decided you and Jason are coming back to Gotham permanently." Jason took off his mask looking shocked.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa how did I get dragged into this!?" the teen argued crossing his arms.

"Don't think I don't know about all the crimes you have committed in the past months! I don't want to hear any arguing from either of you!" batman swiftly left leaving his two wards shocked in the medical room with the teen titans. The two 'brothers' looked at each other having a silent conversation. After a few moments robin turned to his team.

"Ill fix this don't worry." and the raven haired boy walked out of the room. Jason put on his mask and shrugged leaving the room as well. The titans looked at each other

"What just happened?" beast boy spoke up.

"I have no clue but I think batman's serious about taking them both back to Gotham." Raven said flatly.

"We must do something so that doesn't happen!" Starfire added.

"Stars right guys, batman can't just do that to robin! So Rob's a little on the crazy side, he always has been! We need him here to be our crazy leader." Cyborg said and the rest of the team nodded in agreement. "We need a plan."
