    Summary

    Red Hood kept his distance from the Bats. They had something akin to a truce, but they always maintained a healthy level of mutual wariness and animosity. None of them knew him, not in any way that mattered, and he was content keeping things that way.

    Unfortunately, secrets had a way of coming to light.

    Summary

    Jason Todd grew up with a fundamental fear of being seen. Not in the sense of shyness, but in the sense of shame. He supposed, if he wished to contemplate the fear’s origins, he might start where most tragedies do:
    The house he grew up in.
    Where the act of wanting was as good as a death sentence to that desire.
    He supposed he might even make an argument for the statement “people become what they are called”. He thinks that might have some merit, looking back.
    What he fears most, (like most other people), is how obvious it is to others. The fear itself.
    He wonders if they can see it.

    or

    Thanks to a rogue meta, the batfam gets to watch Jason's memories like a movie; and Jason just really wants a family again. But you cannot be loved if you aren't known, and well... if circumstances provide? might as well take the chance, right?

    Summary

    "Where's your pops?" Terry shouted down the sidewalk.

    "Dunno," Jason said. "Haven't seen him in a week. I stopped goin' lookin' for him a long time ago."

    Hell, Jason was happy with the man's absence. Maybe it would stick, this time.

    "He owes me fifty bucks." Terry, closer to Jason now, was still shouting.

    Jason spun around and started walking backwards. "What'a'ya know," he said. "Me too."

     

    --
    AU where Jason is seventeen, his parents are alive, he works nights at a convenience store, and everything is about to go to shit.

    Summary

    The civilian persona Jason crafted was designed to be aloof and intimidating. Better to not form too many connections in case he needed to pack his bag and leave on short notice.

    Too bad Karen, Matt, and Foggy didn't seem to get that memo. And too bad for Jason, they're stubborn enough to chip away at the brick wall he had carefully erected.

    Damn those persistent bastards.
