Only one person may come.
Only one person will die.The person who loves her most can choose to give their life for her, or choose to let her die.
If the police are called, she will be killed.
If anyone else finds out, she will be killed.
Only the one who loves her most can take her place.There were instructions. A place to go, alone.
A very clear stipulation that the location was being watched. That if you were bugged, or tracked, or followed, Maddie would die.
OR -
A serial killer kidnaps Maddie and leaves a note for the person who loves her most to trade places with her. Buck is only too willing to be the one to do it.

Now, as an adult with a greater understanding, he saw [the jeep] for what it was. While he needed companionship, Maddie needed freedom. Maddie needed a way out. Maddie needed a new life.She had given it all away to Buck.
They had tried, in their own flawed ways, to give each other what they each needed.
Buck needed love and companionship and loyalty and he gave it to Maddie.
Maddie needed freedom and safety and a lifeline and she gave it to Buck.The great tragedy was that they each could have had both, if they had been able to communicate better.

Summary
Being transported to the past is not the sort of thing one normally expects. But this having happened, and with no easy way back, Jason's determined to make the most of it. Though the Bat still stalks Gotham's streets, the city's crime is run by the mobs instead of the rogues. There's no Joker yet.
There's no Robin.
Maybe there shouldn't be.

Bookmarker's Notes
“Bruce. None of the bad times were because you didn’t care. Overprotective, undemonstrative, controlling, and manipulative, sure, and you caring didn’t make up for all that, but that only means you should care better, not more or less.”
