Ah! The joys of modern convenience,Alfred Pennyworth is unpacking the assorted delivered foodstuffs that have been shipped in this afternoon. He shakes his head as he once again hides the coffee Master Bruce insists on using instead of sleep

The DVD was disturbing enough in it's own right. Bruce watched it three times before he finally sits back and scowls at the screen, deep in thought. Tim. He needs Tim.

Reaching out to the console, Bruce pushes a single button to turn on Tim's alert signal and then speaks aloud, recording his message, "Get here now. It's Jason."

Tim was in class when he got the signal from Batman. His university had returned to normal fairly quickly after Robin had resolved the hostage situation the night before. He frowned, Bruce rarely contacted him during the day unless it was very serious. He ducked quietly out of the lecture, thinking this was becoming too much of a habit, and headed to where his car was waiting. Listening to the message he realised it was indeed serious, he'd briefed Batman on the events of the night before but they hadn't expected Jason to try anything else so soon. He jumped in and headed for Wayne Manor at top speed. Parking in the conventional manner, Tim rang the doorbell and waited to be let in.

"I got it, Mr. Pennyworth!" Eddie called as he heard the doorbell. He had just been washing some dishes in the kitchen. Drying his hands quickly, he scurried to the door. He wanted to be helping in the cave but he'd been told not to come down unless called down there. Opening the door, Eddie smiled when he saw Tim.

"H-hi, Tim," he greeted, stepping to the side to let him in. He had a decent idea of why Tim was at the manor. "Mr. Wayne c-c-c-called you?" he asked even though he was pretty sure he knew the answer already.

Tim nods. "Where is he?"

"He's downstairs waiting for you," Eddie replies simply, closing the door once Tim's through. "It's...b-b-bad."
