"Yeah, it did. I went because the daughter of an old friend needed help." Tim says, looking down into his lap.
No. Marissa was right. He needed to be honest with J'anna about Stephanie, too. About everything.
"Wait. The little girl I went to help...she's the daughter of my friend Stephanie Brown. Stephanie and I used to work together, back when I worked with Batman. We dated, too. We were dating when Batman and I fell out.
When I left town, I left without telling her, J'anna. I hadn't seen her in years until the night she tried to kill me. I didn't even know she was dead. I just knew that she'd want her daughter to have a better life and I had to honor that." Tim says quietly.
"That's why I left without telling you. There wasn't much time to waste because some very bad people were looking for her...and because I didn't want to tell you about what Stephanie and I meant to each other." he says.
"I didn't mean to fall in love with Giselle when I got on that plane, but I did. Alvin Draper didn't have the baggage that Tim Drake did, so I pretended to be him. I just wanted to be anyone else than 'That Guy that used to be Robin', and so I threw myself into the role. That cost Giselle her life and that was my fault." he says.
"After Giselle died, I was in a really bad place. I tried to everything to make the pain go away instead of dealing with it, but nothing helped. My old friend Rose Wilson showed up and literally kicked my ass back into shape. She saved my life.
I'm telling you all of this because I need to be honest about where we're going from here and I don't want anymore secrets between us, no matter happens after this moment."
