Summary
Jason Todd’s helmet was supposed to protect him.
Instead, it becomes a cage.
When a new meta-villain hijacks the circuitry inside Red Hood’s gear, Jason is turned into a living weapon—fully conscious, fully aware, and utterly powerless as his body carries out crimes against his will. The Batfamily must stop him before the villain’s plan comes to fruition… but saving Gotham may mean hurting one of their own.
Tim Drake refuses to accept that trade.
While the others search for a way to neutralize Red Hood, Tim searches for Jason — the real Jason — buried beneath the signal. Night after night, he sends messages into the void, hoping something inside is still listening.
Something is.
But Crosstalk is listening too.
And Jason is running out of time before control becomes permanent.

Summary
Tim’s always known Jason is brilliant—sharp in ways no one bothers to look for, bright in ways Jason refuses to believe. But one late-night in the Cave, with an alien device humming between them and confessions slipping out like sparks, Tim finally says what Jason’s never been told.

Summary
Her relief makes him feel sick.
Because if she’s relieved, that means nothing is wrong.
And if nothing is wrong, then—
Then the last four years didn’t happen.
Then Will didn’t grow up.
Then Will never looked at him like that.
Then Will never got the chance to be—

Summary
Every time someone says the word “orbit,” Dick’s chest tightens. Every mission that involves leaving Earth feels like a betrayal—not of logic, not of duty—but of memory. Because the last time he went to space, Jason never came home.

Summary
Tim hasn’t touched him. Not really. Not in any way that counts.
But he’s imagined it so many times, it feels like they already have.
Now Jason’s back in Gotham, and Tim is slipping. One dream, one memory, one song at a time.
And maybe—maybe he's not the only one who remembers what never happened.

Summary
“Why does this sound like a plot for one of the Ocean’s Eleven movies?” Jason asks, arms crossed over his skintight black bodysuit. “Seriously, all you’re missing are George Clooney and Brad Pitt.”
Reminding himself that he can’t do this without Stray, Tim answers. “Well, we’ve got an international antiquities smuggling ring, a ton of bored rich people with nothing better to do than show off how much money they have, and we get to dress up in ridiculously expensive tuxedos, all the while concealing weapons and tech that will undoubtedly get us kicked out or worse if the bad guys find it. This almost sounds like something that happened to me last month but without the antiquities part.”
