    Summary

    Grant Wilson is 17 years old when he dies. Killed by the negligence of the H.I.V.E and the Teen Titans. In fact, if you ask Slade Wilson, most of the blame lies with Nightwing himself. That man killed his son.

    Or so he tells himself, until it's almost too late.

    Summary

    Dick’s cheek smashed against the sharp gravel, Slade’s body pinning him to the ground. “That was hardly a fight at all, kid,” Slade murmured in his ear before he pulled off of Dick, replacing his body weight by slamming his knee on the small of Dick’s spine and keeping it there. “I’m disappointed, honestly. You trying to lose?”

    Dick’s fingers spasmed and curled into the gravel in silence, and then, slowly, Slade shifted. Removed his knee. Slade gave a rough, startled laugh as he made the realization, and Dick heard him sit back, then stand.

    “You were,” Slade murmured, sounding almost delighted. Or — at least, as close as a man like that could get.

    Dick rolled over and pulled himself up, brushing the debris from his face and his clothes, heart jackhammering as he stared Slade in the eye. Dick swallowed hard.

    “I have a deal for you.”

    Slade huffed, like that was quaint, the corner of his lip upturning. “...A deal?”

    “A deal," Dick said quietly. "One year."

    Summary

    It’s strange, in a sense. Jason’s story begins on the street; it begins with scraped knuckles and empty bottles and the lingering smell of rot.

     

    Robin’s story begins with a circus. As tight-lipped as Bruce can be, he recounts that tale like gospel, like he has to cling to it to tell up from down. And like a good little soldier, a good son, Jason etches it into his memory. Some days, he thinks it might as well be his own; every soft word Bruce has for him, every warm meal Alfred prepares feels like the unquestionable continuation of good times past. As if that’s how it’s always been. On some days, he believes his story begins with the circus too; it makes him feel like half a stranger in his own skin. 

     

    alternatively: against all expectations, Mary Grayson survives her fall. Many years later, Jason Todd is trying to find his footing in his new family while chasing the ghosts of the legacy he's struggling to make his own.
