  Summary

  Jason's stressed. The apartment's falling apart, he does not have the money for his bills, Lian's late to daycare, and him and Roy barely see each other outside of patrol. His "business" is barely scraping even (he knows it's an investment, but invest faster, damnit) and Roy's job doesn't nearly cover their expenses. He can't turn to the Bats for help, they definitely don't want to see him after Titan's Tower. Bruce slit his throat the last time they saw each other. They wouldn't help him.

  Somewhere, Dick wakes up wanting to cuddle his little brother.

  Summary

  “The fuck are you doing, Replacement?”
  Red Robin didn’t quip back, didn’t jump to explain himself, he just startled, turned to look at Jason, and then went back to staring into space towards the top of the building next door. The little curls in his subconscious of something isn’t right here strengthened, but he was more pissed that the turd ignored him.
