Jinx put her batarang away and saw Red Cardinal approachng her on the steps. 'Batgirl' smiled faintly at her, walked up and gave Kai a hug, "Hey, it's okay. You're fine, and he's a jerk. Just brush him off."

From one of the upstairs bedrooms, Tim shifted on the bed he had taken the liberty to occupy. Picking his head up, the teen groaned a bit from the loud disturbances downstairs. More 'guests'? He sat up slowly and rubbed at his neck, checking to see if his communicator had received any messages or calls. He also checked the clock in the room... he had been sleeping for less than an hour. It was odd, at a time like this he would have expected a heavier sleep. Tim stood up and wandered a bit towards the door of the room, opening it to look down the upper-level hallway.
"Kai?"
He heard a couple different voices shouting, but since he was deeper into the manor they had been muffled.

d**k looked to Damian and sighed. "Look, Damian-- Just, ahh... Go get something to eat, okay? I'll be with you in a moment."
Damian rolled his eyes and went into the kitchen, and d**k frowned. Damian and Kai didn't know each other... but he, d**k, had very recent memories of both of them. So... what was going on? Was this a byproduct of the Multiversal Merge? He wandered up the stairs and looked to Tim.
"Hey there, Tim..." d**k said. His memories of Damian showed Damian with a great dislike... toward an older Tim Drake. Not too much older, but by a few more years at most. And yet...

Once d**k was in view down the hallway from his door, Tim walked a bit further out of the room he had been in.
"Hey... what's going on down there?"
His voice portrayed a bit of grogginess, suggesting his recent and small amount of sleep he was able to sneak in. The thought had crossed Tim's mind that there was some kind of threat downstairs... but considering he hadn't gotten a call, and observing Nightwing's collected manner, there was probably nothing to worry about. At the same time a slightly unsettling air was following d**k, so Tim kept to his curious expression.

"Uhh... Well... Bruce's son showed up. You, uh... Okay, you know what? Screw it. This kid, Damian Wayne, knows you. A slightly older version of you. And he hates you, because he's Bruce's biological son and you're not. He thinks he's entitled to the title of Robin and is more worthy of Bruce's affection than you. And for some reason, I have memories of you as you are, Damian as he is, and Kai..." d**k said, before gripping his forehead.

Jinx broke the hug with Kai and glanced first to Tim who walked and then down at Richard. Pointing toward the kitchen, Jinx mouthed,Who the heck is that?

Kai looked towards Tim and then looked away from them stepping away from her.
"He's a kid by the Name of Damian, And he /is/ a jerk, but he's not my problem, it's kids in general I'm not good with. That and this chaos, what's messing with our minds, like d**k. And me...."
She crossed her arms and began walking towards Tim standing next to him.
"Tim, could I sleep with you tonight. I don't want to be alone."
She looked at Tim and added a small comment that was meant to be witty.
"I would ask Grayson but he would take that in a dirty way."
A small smile came across her face before she looked down again holding at her bag tightly that carried her costume.

Tim blinked a bit, his expression dropping to a thinking look. He kept a straight stare towards d**k through the explanation... a few questions immediately crossed him mind. Bruce's son? Biological son? A younger Robin wouldn't surprise him... but why would he feel the need to compete with Tim?
"d**k...? Are you alright?"
He stepped a bit closer as a look of concern crossed his face. He looked back to see Kai and Jinx had followed d**k upstairs.
"Er... 'Damian' yeah.."
Tim didn't know him... or... he didn't know him 'yet'. This was really weird.
"Apparently he hates me."
As Kai approached, he blinked again and glanced back at Nightwing... getting exactly what she was talking about.
"Sure-"
Tim was still tired. Less than an hour's sleep was not nearly enough.

"Damn, and they thought I moved fast," Jinx chuckled in a slightly teasing tone, walking past Red Cardinal playfully smacking her arm and giving her an impish grin, "I am just teasing fo course, but .... if you're needing a couple of items, you can just ask me."

"He apparently hates everyone... but I'm going to take a shower and meet you in bed okay Tim. And thank you for being such a good friend off the bat... no pun intended."
She said in a mellowed tone still gripping her bag.
"And thanks Jinx, but I'm good."
Kai then turned and headed down the hall to the nearest bathroom to take a shower to clean her wounds and help to start off fresh for the next battle that she knew /would/ come.

Arching an eyebrow at Tim, Jinx added, "Are you needing anything extra or go for a shower? Roshni chuckled and leaned in toward Tim's ear to whisper, "If Wally hadn't just walked back into my life, I probably would have been asking you to sleep with me. Anyway, I know you'll take care of her." Jinx lightly kissed Tim on his cheek and walked off.

Tim took a small moment to roll his eyes.
"Goodnight, guys."
That was before Jinx gave him a kiss on the cheek. He blinked and watched her walk away with a startled, and confused look on his face.

Meanwhile, Reaper had bussied himself in one of the lounge areas of the large Manor. It was much easier to hone in on thought waves and all of that other happy junk when he could sit in one spot and relax, rather than trying to hide in a corner. He was a good distance away from any of the Cardinal's friends that he was supposed to "stay away from". But...she never said anything about spying on all of them.
Or...going through the head of the butler now that he was around. He DID want answers after all. If he couldn't find any way to get Strange or the others back, then he needed to try and help here.
...try to anyway. Being "good" wasn't his strong suite.
Reaper sighed a bit and relaxed more in his chair, trying to keep his focus on those in the house. The new kid would be a problem. Angrier than the girl. He'd probably have to come clean if he didn't want to be thrown out of the house with him around. Wasn't sure how far he'd get with the whole "watching over the house for Bruce" was going to get him now.
Alfred stood from one of the other chairs and went back about his work. Now that Reaper had all the information he wanted from him, he didn't feel the need to keep the butler seated in the room with him.

Wally sighed as he watched the batlings. He clenched his jaw as Jinx kissed Tim's cheek. That was not okay. "She thought you were dead. You should thank God she didn't have a boyfriend." That was the rational part of his brain. Wally didn't like that part.

Jinx walked over to Wally, and noticed the way he was looking at her. Stopping just a couple feet from him, and plainly explained, "Wally, Tim's looking after Kai... sharing the same bed." Jinx simply smiled warmly at her boyfriend, "You have nothing to worry about, but I do appreciate the fact that you do."
