    Summary

    After a heavy accusation from Batman, Jason Todd runs away from Gotham to Bludhaven, spending a weekend reassessing his life and wondering what's next as he leans on Dick for brotherly advice. Jason is characterised as a teenager in search of his own identity outside of Robin, sensitive, friendly, and hopeful. This is angsty though, like, it is angsty - you've been warned.

    Set right before Jason's death, this story picks up on Batman's accusations that Jason killed Felipe Garzonas as seen on "The Diplomat's Son" arc (Issues #424 and #425).

    Only romantic relationship featured is between Jason Todd and Rena, no batcest AT ALL

    Summary

    “Bruce”, he says, enunciated carefully to not swallow the vowels. He has to sound that way, fine, to not betray his lie immediately. Though the pale face, the bloodied sweater and the sweaty hair sticking to his temples kinda give it away anyways. “I’m fine.”

    “Be quiet, Jason”, Bruce says. Jason. Not Jace. Not Jay. Especially not Jaylad.

    Jason’s fucked.
    _________________

    Jason hasn’t lived with Bruce for long, but he knows how this dynamic works - it’s a simple exchange. Bruce signs him into Gotham Academy. Jason studies before and after patrol and aces every test. Bruce feeds him three meals a day. Jason washes the dishes. Bruce gives him Robin’s colors to wear. Jason trains until his muscles burn and he feels like he’s going to puke. But when Jason wakes up one day with a fever, he’s well aware he has to hide that weakness before Bruce notices he’s unable to keep up his end of the deal anymore and throws him out on the streets again.

    Summary

    Bruce starts, eyes glaring down at the city and unwilling to look anywhere else, especially in Jason's direction, "You always… hated the rain."

    Jason's breath gets caught in his throat.

    (For as long as Jason can remember, it's always been raining.)

    Summary

    And he doesn’t want to do this in front of Bruce, but there’s an itch at the back of his mind begging him to feel. To give in and shut his eyes, to travel back to a time lost. To stare at the blank wall in front of him until it plays a film reel of a life forgotten.

    or

    The aftermath of a run-in with fear gas.

    Summary

    Bruce coughs a little, and Jason is abruptly caught in a cascade of memories. He snaps out of it after a bit, and takes Bruce to his room, making him lie there while he goes to get some tests.
    Bruce can’t be sick, he can’t.

    Catherine Todd’s death is not due to an overdose. Of course, that doesn’t mean that Jason doesn’t have trauma surrounding it.
