    Summary

    Flying back to Cherry Street, weaving reckless in the dark, it comes down to this: Dick is the only one of his siblings that Jason has any real claim on. Dick is the only one of that whole mess of victims to Batman's cult of self-immolation who belongs to Jason. Even more than that - Dick is the only person in the world who he shares a parent with, who knows what it meant to be the Robin to Batman of nearly ten years ago.

    It's just not the same anymore.

    So if Dick fucking kicks it, Jason's the only one left. Jason becomes an only child. Jason becomes the last of his kind. Jason becomes the sole keeper of that memory, of a brotherhood shared under a man who no longer exists. There is no way to replace Dick, because the world that they lived in together is gone, and can never give Jason a surrogate.

    The Red Hood pulls the thread on a mystery big enough to bridge the distance between two cities, two brothers: The plot they unravel is far deeper and darker than a garden-variety drug trafficking scheme. A story about siblingship, hauntings, and rivers.

    1. Ostium, osti(i): Latin noun, II Declension: Door, opening; (river) mouth; entrance (to the underworld).

    Summary

    It should be hilarious when Dick gets de-aged: another brown-haired baby to throw into the playpen, this one no doubt climbing everything in sight and cheerfully babbling nonstop. Only Jason isn’t staring at a cheerful toddler. He’s looking down at a tiny, badly bruised child, shaking in his little Nightwing suit, staring up at Jason with poorly concealed terror.

    (The de-aging, and the aftermath, and Dick and Jason Going Through It.)

    Summary

    "Jeez, you're morbid." When the kid just bared his teeth in what could be generously described as a grin, if one were to squint and generally have the vision quality of a mole, Jason turned back to the rapidly paling Tim. "You want to sweep the place for signs of Nightwing while I wrap things up with junior over here?"

    "Junior," the kid scoffed, which was real fucking rich for someone who was an inch or two from being strictly categorized as fun-sized. "Fuck off."

    "Hey, watch your mouth. Kids who don't know times tables aren't allowed to swear."

    "I can multiply just fine, jackass."

    "Hood," Tim cut in, voice squeaky like it'd been squeezed-compressed-squashed ten times over. "I don't need to keep looking for Dick. He's right there."


    or, who would've thought that a de-aged Dick would be really angry, really annoying, and really attached to Jason?

    (Bruce. Bruce would've thought. This might be his worst nightmare, actually.)
