One moment, Red Hood was fighting with Black Mask, listening to the idiot go on about how he'd murder Jason long before he'd become a problem. The next... Jason was ten years in the past, nine-years-old, and fending for himself on the streets of Gotham. Bruce might not know about Jason yet in the timeline, but Batman was the only one who could protect him against Black Mask.
If only Jason didn't hate him so much...

Summary
He opens his eyes, and stares up at the canopy of the four poster bed he's in. It takes a second, his vision is a bit blurry, but it clears up quick enough.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Four seconds.
Part of Jason keeps the count going, while the rest of him kind of just...seizes. Because he knows this canopy. He knows the the posts it's attached to. He—fuck—he knows the notch in the bottom left post he'd put in it when he'd stolen one of Bruce's batarangs when he was twelve and thrown it around like the stupid kid he'd been.
This was Jason's room.
Or, the one where Jason gets zapped with magic, wakes up in his teenage body, and decides to let the timeline know exactly how fucked it is. He also becomes the president of the Tim Drake Appreciation Club.

Bookmarker's Notes
That Jason could never decide what pissed him off more. That you gave someone else his role, both as Robin and your son...or that you dared to put another boy in that kind of danger after he was killed.
----
In Hood's mind, that was it. You chose Joker and your morality over your son again, and turned your back on him while people like Two Face and Joker and Ra's get a million chances to repent and reform that they're never gonna take.
-----
Damian's always seemed older than he actually is. No matter how small his body is, the moment you look into his eyes you see the weight of years he hasn't yet lived; the weight of everything that happens while growing up an al Ghul. That weight tempered Damian into steel. And when you look at that steel, when you see the almost preternaturally self-reliant kid standing in front of you, it's all too easy to forget that weight comes from years of abuse. Because Damian is a kid. And while it's not fair to him to only see him as an abused kid, it's just as unfair to only see him as the thing Talia tried to create; the weapon in her ongoing war/insanely unhealthy obsession with Bruce. Damian is all of that, and so much more. -

Summary
Jason's attack on Titans Tower goes a little differently than expected. When Jason wakes up, the last thing he can remember is being fifteen and having breakfast with Bruce. So why is this strange kid telling him he's actually someone named the Red Hood? Why does the kid look eerily like Bruce? And why does he have bruises around his neck?
Or: Jason gets amnesia. With Bruce and Dick away on an off-world mission, it falls to Tim to deal with the aftermath.
