Ahem so theres a new chapter up now, and ummmm well there will be more!

The party was going great, everyone finally relaxed and were starting to enjoy the holiday. As time went on heros began to come and go as there own Christmas duties called them home. It was late afternoon, around one, and Nightwing began to seek out his family member so they themselves could go home and celebrate there without masks. He found Jason first, sulking in the corner. Throwing his arms around the older boys neck Nightwing grinned.

"Afraid of the party Jay?" he asked quietly. Jason glared at him and shoved the boy off. He grunted in response and Nightwing pouted.

"Well, were going back soon so you don't have to worry" he said. Jason said nothing only nodding his head as he watched the crowd slowly die. Getting up Nightwing glanced around to see if he could find Tim, but the green haired boy was no where in sight.

"Hey have you've seen Tim?" Nightwing turned back around to where Jason still stood in his corner.

"Not since a while ago when he took a breather outside" Jason said tilting his head slightly. Nightwing pursed his lip and nodded in thanks as he headed for the door that led outside, in the pit of his stomach he felt something rolling and he hoped it was the Christmas pie Zatanna had brought and not the dreading feeling he was getting.

As he entered outside the snow had picked up a bit and Nightwing wrapped his colorful scarf more tightly around him. He headed for the over hand that looked out to the beach, from there he tried to look for any signs of the missing youngster. As he was almost to ledge he suddenly tripped on something and fell face first into a pile of snow. Groaning he lifted a hand to his head and sat up. Glancing down he noticed that the snow here piled up more than anywhere else on the ledge. He brushed off some by where his foot was and was startled to see the color red. as he began to brush more snow off he began to realize more and more that what he was brushing off looked like the long pants Tim had been wearing that morning. Nightwing's brushing became more frantic until he finally made it to the chest and arms. Once done there he pulled Tim out of the snow.

Checking for a pulse he sighed in relief, Tim was still breathing but barely. Nightwing stood, with Tim in his arms, and hurried as fast as he could back to the mountain. He ran back into the living room where Jason was the only one left. He looked startled to see the two soaking wet boys and immediately came over to help. He took Tim from Nightwing and headed straight for the couch.

"Take off your wet clothes and change into warm ones. When your done get me hot water in a tub and a spare change of warm clothes and as many blankets as you can" Jason barked out orders at Nightwing who soon was on his way.

Setting Tim on the couch Jason began to, with trembling fingers, slowly peel away the thin layer of clothing Tim had on. He stopped at the kids underwear and used one of the blankets that lay around the living room to keep him warm for a bit. When Nightwing returned with fresh clothes, blankets, and the hot water Jason turned into Nurse Jason.

He pulled the now wet blanket off of Tim and wiped any water that was left. Once he was more dry he moved the hot water under his feet and gently slid them into the water as he pushed matted hair away from his face. Nightwing had brought a few extra things that Jason had forgotten about, a small towel, a thermometer, and other necessities. Jason pushed Tim back as he placed a warm towel on his forehead. Then he wrapped Tim up in two layers of blankets and placed the thermometer into his mouth. After a minute it beeped and he pulled it out and sighed with relief, it was only 90 degrees. It was a little odd considering he had been out there for so long but Jason dismissed it because he was very releviead. Suddenly he gasped in shock, he was releviaed that the kid was ok? That was odd, he had never actually felt this feeling before and it made him feel werid. Shuddering he walked out of the room passing Nightwing.

The boy looked after his brother then back to his younger one. He shook his head and sat down beside Tim. It seemed that it would take some time before they both got along but for now at least they would help each other out, on certain terms of course. Sighing Nightwing placed his head on Tim's shoulder and snuggled up close. The combined body heat made the room feel cozy and soon Nightwing found himself fast asleep.

"-wing. Nightwing!"

Waking groggily Nightwing placed a hand to his head and blinked a few times. He glanced around and found himself still in the living room with Tim sleeping soundly beside him. He looked over the couch and saw the source for his awakening. Barbra stood in a warm coat and long pants and had her hand on his shoulder.

"Oh. Your up good" she said removing her hand and going around the couch so she stood before him.

"Hey Barbra" Nightwing shifted trying hard not to awaken Tim.

"What happened? I was getting ready to go home and then Jason comes up and tells me that Tim had been found outside in the cold and" she paused at Nightwing perplexed look he was giving her.

"Jason told you?" Nightwing asked her. She nodded and he sat there in shock.

"Anyway how about we get Tim back to the manor?" Barbra asked slowly. Nodding Nightwing helped Barbra carry the uncouncious boy to the zeta tube and away. Although he was still at a lost, Jason had actually got help. That let a smile play on his lips, perhaps they were actually getting along faster then expected.
