Summary
Jason’s life has shown some uncomfortable similarities to that of Lazarus of Bethany, when really, he had always been meant to be Lazarus the beggar.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jason had made the decision to die on May 13th, at approximately 2 am.
The weather outside had been nice, by Gotham standards, the breeze cool, the rain minimal, the toxic fumes bearable. The streets outside had been busy, as was usual for a Gotham night. Distant shouts had floated in through his window, music blasting from cars passing by and even the occasional laugh of a working girl making its way up into his cold apartment.
He’d been laying in bed, tired, injured and utterly alone.
Jason never slept through the night anymore.

Summary
“I need you to repeat that, please,” he said, voice distant and hollow. The pitying look on Commissioner Gordon’s face only made his gut twist tighter.
“Some workers spotted the body down in Morrison Harbor. Called some of my boys in. He…” The Commissioner faltered, rolling his shoulders. “He’s marked as a Doe, for now, since Jason Todd is still legally dead.”
Still, Bruce thought. Already would be more fitting a term, now.
The wind blew against his cheek, cold and unforgiving, as they stood alone on the roof of the GCPD Headquarters.
“It looks like a suicide, Bruce.”
Or: Jason’s body is found. All signs were missed. There is no note.
Might be a little confusing if you haven’t read Lazarus yet.
