    Summary

    Jason Todd was born and raised in Crime Alley, the birthplace and homeground of some of Gotham's worst, and brought up as a mercenary. Hood is a terrifyingly competent killer-for-hire with the reputation to match. Jason has plans to change his life, however, to make enough money to retire early and leave the mercenary life behind permanently and he'll let nothing get in the way of that. One chance meeting with an injured Red Robin, a fleeting moment of confused compassion, and Jason's well-thought-out plans are sent into disarray.

    OR

    The Bats and Assassin!Jason keep running into each other, again and again and again. What'll be left of Jason by the end of it?

    Summary

    Thirteen years after Jason Todd’s death, the Batfamily still lives in the ripples of what his loss left behind.

    Every part of their lives remains touched by the one who last existed thirteen years ago, silenced in late April.

    Now those paths are beginning to converge. Secrets meant to stay buried will surface, and some things are far closer than they appear.

    Summary

    Jason Todd is really good at his job. He's not so good at... well... being good.

    Instead of surviving on the streets, Jason finds himself trafficked to Two-Face's gang, where his small size and breaking and entering skills keep him valuable. Three years later, with all his escape attempts frustrated and his future looking bleak, Jason is hand-picked for a suicide mission into Cadmus. Jason could maybe figure out a way out if it were just him. Maybe. But now Batman is shot and cuffed in his cell, and things just got much more complicated.

    TLDR: Jason Todd is a twelve-year-old criminal genius, which leads to him getting adopted last of the Wayne brood.

    Summary

    “The Red Hood has been good for Gotham,” Robin continued. “Crime in Park Row decreased by sixty one percent almost as soon as you showed up, and that’s even taking into account all the crime you commit. Drug overdoses have decreased by twenty two percent in adults and seventy nine percent in minors. Homeless minors are ninety two percent less likely to—”

    “Kid,” Jason interrupted. “Enough statistics. What the hell is this about?”

    Robin slowly lowered the tablet with his powerpoint presentation and looked up at Red Hood.

    “You care about Gotham,” Robin summarised. “Gotham needs Batman. Batman is missing and so is Nightwing. We need you to fill in for Batman.”

    “You want me to cover Batman’s patrols?” Jason clarified.

    “No,” Robin said. “I want you to be Batman.”

    Jason bluescreened.

     

    (Or: Batman and Nightwing mysteriously disappear before Red Hood has even started antagonising them, Robin is desperate, Gotham needs Batman, and Red Hood is Batman-Shaped.)
