Work Text:
Jason thinks about one thing when he is beaten by the crowbar.
It lands on him repeatedly, breaking bones and collapsing lungs. The clown laughs.
What about the pup?
Jason's hand clutches his stomach - not big enough yet for most to notice. The last thing Dick gave him.
If the pup dies with him, Jason would be the one to blame.
Jason coughs up blood, vision fading. The lights of the carnival blend into fantastical colors.
Then, Jason wakes in a lake of green. Burning, breathing. In pain. There is crying in his ears.
The sound of his pup crying.
