"Hey, guys?" The redhead asked, voice cracking as he sat across from Jason. Horrified, he cleared his throat, getting out his homework. "Can we talk?"

"What's up?" Tim asked, leaning into the fridge.

"Just--" He cleared his throat again. "So, uhh..."

"Dick?" Bruce hurried in. "Have you taken your meds?"

"YES!" The boy gasped, exasperated, heating up his hot cocoa.

"Good. Oh, James. Are you here to do homework or are you staying?"

"I don't know yet." He croaked. 

"Well, you're welcome to stay, just let your dad know."

"Of course."

"BRUCE! You didn't ask if I took my meds! Don't you care about my health? Or Tim's?" Jason ordered.

"Jason, did you take your meds?"

"No."

"Do that right now." Bruce ordered. "Tim?"

"Way ahead of you."

"Good. Uh... you boys doing homework?"

Jim winced. "Uh, yeah."

"Good. Good... something bothering you, Jim?"

"No."

"Are you sure?" Bruce asked, trying to make it sound friendly, but in reality, he was a bit worried about the boy.

"No, all good."

"Oh yeah, you wanted to say something?" Tim asked. "=

"Uh no, just..."

"Come on, you can say whatever it is." Bruce encouraged.

"Oh,I just wanted to look around in the attic. look through some old stuff."

"Uh, sure..." Bruce said, very conscious of the lie. "Go ask Alfred from the key whenever you want."

"Thanks..."

"Are you sure that's it?"

"I don't know. yeah. I'm just gonna do my homework." Jim said.

"Alright then...." Bruce said, turning away. "You know you can talk to me right?"

"Yeah, of course..." He replied.

"Okay. Good luck with the homework, Boys."

"Uh, thanks." Jim waited a few seconds and, unable to help it any longer, he hurried after Bruce.
"Wait!"

"Hmm?

"Uh, Can I tell you something? He asked, voice warbling yet again.

"Sure," Bruce said, assured now that Jimmy wanted to talk. "Shall we sit?" He nodded, trailing after Bruce into the office. His throat was tight, and his shirt felt itchy. Bruce sat behind his desk and invited the kid to sit across from him. "What can I do for you?"

"Uh, so. Damian and the others are boys?" James croaked.

"Yes, I am aware of that." Bruce replied.

 "Well, uh, I'm not."

Bruce frowned. "A boy?" 

"Uh huh."

The corners of Bruce's mouth twitched up. "are you a girl?"

"Yeah." She squeaked.

Bruce hid his face in his hands. "And I was starting to think I'd never get a daughter." 
a blush crept up her cheeks until she was bright red, blinking at the floor and watching thin tears wobble around her vision.
"Do you have a new name you want to use?"
