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.)

Then Oracle had continued with, “The Joker has Robin.”
Everything after that was a blur. Jason couldn’t tell you what had happened; one moment he was standing on a rooftop listening to Oracle and the next he was in a warehouse with the Joker’s body and an injured little bird.
The Joker was dead. Jason had killed him— shot him six times in the head and chest.
That was when Jason knew with complete certainty that all his plans were fucking ruined. Batman had ruined everything without lifting a fucking finger. That motherfucker.

The only thing Jason knew about the new Batgirl was that she could almost certainly kick his ass. He had enough sense to be apprehensive, even though he was reasonably sure he wasn’t a pod-person. Like eighty percent sure. Eighty-six percent on a good day. He is supposed to be dead after all. Like, you never know.
