Summary
Teaming up with the Terminator had not been on Jason’s to-do list as he worked his way from the League of Assassins toward Gotham and built his network as a rising crime lord—but he wasn’t going to look a gift horse in the mouth.
At least until he stumbles upon something too concerning to ignore: Why does the Terminator have so many pictures of his kids and Dick

Summary
“Is the Red Hood’s helmet watertight?” someone asked, and Jason was cold and dripping and on the ground next to Dick and he wasn’t breathing.
“No,” Tim’s voice was tight.
“We need to take it off,” Lagoon Boy's words were met by a handful of yells, both in person and through the comms.
“This is the Red Hood,” Shazam said. “They say he has explosives in his helmet. It might explode if you try to take it,”
“Seriously?”
Dick reached towards the helmet to unlock it with trembling hands, to everyone’s alarm.
“The explosives.” Superboy interjected.
“Connor,” Tim cut in sharply. “We know what we’re doing,”I had thoughts about Jason being super cagey about his identity as the Red Hood to the point that he has explosives in his helmet to prevent people from taking it off, and the vulnerability of the Batfam members knowing the ins and outs of his helmet and how to take it off despite it all.

Summary
The bathroom door catches, stopping abruptly. When another light push doesn’t budge it open much further, Jason flicks on the light before peeking his head in. Then he stills.
Catherine’s slack limbs sprawl across a dingy bathroom floor, long hair splayed on the yellowed and cracked tiles. Her face imitates a ghostly paleness, lax with dried vomit and stray strands of hair stuck to her lips.
He blinks.
It’s Dick.
───
It's raining. Dick hasn't washed his hair in days. Enter: Jason.

Summary
"You're here," Dick pointed out, tiredly smiling at his Robin.
Damian clicked his tongue, some of his usual liveliness returning as he rolled his eyes. "We are partners, of course I am."
Dick grinned wider. "Of course you are," He echoed.
A shadow of a smile tugged at Damian's lips.
"When you have recovered we should-"
And then Dick's back split open.
In which Dick grows some wings, Clark delivers some well-earned pie, and the Dynamic Duo 2.0 talk about everything and nothing.

Summary
Jason Todd returns to Gotham. He is not okay, and he is only too aware of it. He wants revenge. On the clown who killed him. On the family who was not there to save him. It will be - it should be - only the guilty who should suffer. Not the new little Bird. Not Gotham. Only the pair who should have been there.
But this is Gotham. Mind Games have a way of going horribly wrong. Jason might well find himself regretting just how effective his revenge has turned out to be.

Summary
Dick doesn't know who's captured him, but he does know they don't care about his identity and they haven't killed him. So either they need him alive for something… or they just want to hurt him.
Jason, on the other hand, knows exactly who has Dick, and why.

Summary
“This team,” Dick says quietly, speaking to his own gloved knuckles. “Is better off without me right now. Maybe forever. I messed up, Roy, I really—I shouldn't—”
“Shut up, Rob.”
