"Go ahead, sir." Alfred nodded at Soul's request.<br/><br/>"Oh...um..." Alfred looked nervous at the mention of the sensitive topic regarding Jason, until the computer chair spun around and revealed the man known as Bruce Wayne in casual attire. "He was my second apprentice, after Dick Grayson and I parted ways and he went on to go solo and take the name Nightwing."<br/><br/>"One day on a bad side of town I found him trying to steal the tires off my patrol car...that Dick had nicknamed the Batmobile when he was a kid."<br/><br/>"He was homeless and alone, until I trained him and adopted him...as I did Dick after his parents were murdered by the mob." Bruce frowned as he approached the glass case with the red, black and gold Robin costume in it. "The Joker spread a rumor that Jason's biological mother was being held hostage by him...Jason ran away....and fell into a trap...Joker beat him near to death with a crowbar and exploded the warehouse he had him held in. By the time I got there it was too late."<br/><br/>Maka, Liz and Patty looked sympathetically at Bruce.
