"WANDA!" Jason shouted as the missiles hit their target. As the smoke cloud gasses away into the cold breeze, sobbing could be heard. As more smoke faded, a figure could be seen crying into the chest of what looks like a dead body.

6 And A Half Hours Earlier

As Jason walked down the hall silently, he saw Wanda on the couch sleeping. Ignoring the rampant and teenage thoughts going through his head, Jason walked to the gym. "You gonna sleep, bub?" Logan asked as he beat the vigilante to the gym. "I couldn't sleep. You?" Jason asked as he rubbed his eyes, clearing them to see properly. "I got to sleep earlier." Logan continued to punch his bag. Meanwhile, the sounds of the fist colliding with the bag filled the gym. Wanda was thrown into a walk down memory lane. 

"NO!" 9-year-old Wanda Maximoff screamed as she watched her brother get beat. Thud. "NO!" The cries continued. "Wanda, keep Lorna safe." Pietro Maximoff told his sister before getting stabbed. "O-ok-k-a-ka-kay." Wanda looked toward her twin. "Wanda, I love you." The twin boy's eyes froze open. Wanda cried as the younger sister entered the room. "Where's 'tro?" The 5-year-old Lorna asked. Wanda shook her head and Lorna started sobbing as she ran to her older sister.

"Wanda, wake up!" Jason shook the whimpering and crying girl awake. "Let go." The Scarlet Witch's eyes flared into a red fury. Jason immediately backed away at the sight of the red retina. "Sorry." Wanda calmed herself as Jason's phone vibrates like a motorcycle revving. "Yes, Dick? Yeah, I'm settling in just fine." Jason spoke into his phone as he walked away from Wanda. "There's this girl Wanda, really weird and has this uncontrollable power in her. If you look into her eyes close enough, you can see the loneliness in them." Jason said as Dick giggled. "You have a crush on her, don't you?" 

As Jason went beet red, he said "I do not have a crush on Wanda! I just know a thing or two about what that feels like. That's it!" Dick snickered some more. "You keep telling yourself that, Jason. Whatever helps you sleep at night, all alone." Jason rubbed his temple as his adoptive father would when he was an idiot. "Jason, you sure you're okay there? I'm coming over later to see how you're doing regardless of your answer. Are you getting enough sleep? Brushing your teeth? Showering? Flossing?" 

Jason laughed as he ended the call before Dick broke his phone. As Jason walked into the living room once more, Wanda was on the phone with someone. Waiting for the phone call to end, Jason decided to make the house breakfast. As he walked to the kitchen, Jason remembered how he often watched Alfred cook breakfast and made the old butler smile when Jason complimented the food. As he made scrambled eggs, Jason remembered the body count he did yesterday. Logan, Kitty, Kurt, Rogue, Gambit, Wanda, Charles, Jean, Scott, Hank, and Peter. 

"You can cook?" Wanda smirked as she got up from the couch. "Who were you talking to? And yeah, I can cook. Got a problem with that?" Jason snickered. "A sibling. Who did you call earlier?" Wanda changed the subject quickly, the change of conversation not going unnoticed by Jason. "Adoptive brother, Dick. He's the caring person of the family, even though it annoys the hell out of me and Bruce." Jason laughed. "What is going on here?" Logan entered the room as the aroma of eggs and bacon filled the air. 

"I'm making eggs and bacon for everyone," Jason said as Wanda straightened her posture. "We could've made our own breakfast, you know." Peter joined them. "I don't care, you know," Jason responded. After everyone entered the kitchen, Jason passed out plates with food on them for everyone. "Wow, this is actually really good!" Kitty said with her mouth full. "Thanks, but the credit goes to Alfie." Jason said as he went to the gym. "Who's Alfie? Aren't you going to eat?" Scott asked. Jason ignored him.


3 Hours Later


As a motorbike parked into the lot, Jason ran to the door. As he opens the door, the boy wonder ran to embrace his brother. "Hey, Jason!" Dick smiled as the boy tackled him. "Is that Wanda?" Dick pointed towards the girl who was talking to a 10-year-old girl. "Yeah, it is." Jason sighed as he let go of the nineteen-year-old man. "Who is she talking to?" Dick asked as he pulled out headphones for the boy. "Idk. Beats? Thanks." Jason smiled. 

As the pair walk into the mansion, Dick isn't impressed. "This is Dick?" Wanda asked. "Yeah. My real name is Richard Grayson, but I prefer Dick." Nightwing smiles as he extends his hand for a greeting. "Who's the kid?" Jason spoke. "My sister, Lorna. She's 10." Wanda responds while returning the handshake. "Jason, who the hell is this?" Jean defensively wondered.

"He is Dick. That's who the hell he is. Dick." Jason stated moments before he bursts out laughing. "Richard Grayson, although I prefer Dick." Richard scratched the back of his head nervously. "Jean Grey. How do you know Jason?" Jean asked. "Adoptive father." Dick smiled as he remembered when he was first Robin. "I didn't know you were adopted, Jason." Scott stated as he walked up behind Jean.

"Me and Jay both," Dick informed the group. "Not to sound rude, but why did you drop by, Richard?" Charles wheels by with Logan behind him. "I wanted to see how Jason was holding up." The acrobat replied. After speaking with everyone for 3 hours, Dick left the mansion. "Thank God he left." Jason sighed. Jason heard a sound before rushing to the window. 

"WANDA!" Jason screamed as a missile exploded into the roof of the mansion. A blur moved Jason out of the way, replacing his body with a double and left. Tears filled Wanda's eyes as she looked for Lorna. She couldn't find a body. "Lorna! LORNA!" Wanda screamed as she found what she thought was the body of Jason Peter Todd. As more missiles landed, Wanda screamed with her own rage protecting her.


MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




3 Years Later 


As a 13-year-old Damian Al Ghul walked with Red Hood. "What's your name, Hood?" Damian wondered. "Jason." The man said as the two walked. "Polaris, who is she?" Damian asked. "Lorna. Why do you need to know who we are?" Jason responded. Damian just turned his head away from him. "What, you have a crush on her or something?" Jason joked. He noticed the young man's blush, as much as the heir tried to hide it.
