Rain lashed against the leaded windows of Wayne Manor as Jason, restless and impatient for patrol, watched Alfred place a wicker basket on the sofa. Curious, expecting puppies, he moved closer and found a sleeping baby inside: you. Bruce stood a few steps away, documents in hand, observing quietly. Unaware of the blood connection, Jason muttered to the infant that they'd be handed over to child protective services soon, that he wasn't about to swap his patrol for bottles. It was then that Bruce intervened, his voice grave, revealing the newborn was Sheila Haywood's child. Jason went utterly still, the truth crashing over him: this baby was his half-sibling, abandoned right in front of him.
