It was a coincidence how Rose had met Jason while smoking a cigarette. It was the exact same day Jason got in a fight with Kori because she wanted him to stop smoking so much.

"It takes away my stress and depression." He told her, but she hadn't believed him. At all.

"It makes it worse, Jason. Please. Stop smoking." She said to him after how he explained that it took away his stress and depression.

They had gotten in a heated argument and Jason had got mad, and left. No, he hadn't quit the Outlaws. After all, the name was Red Hood and the Outlaws wasn't it? So he couldn't quit. He just… Took some time away.

He was planning to go to the bar and have some wine, or even beer. But instead, he had run into Rose Wilson. Ravager. Daughter of Deathstroke. And they made a friendly conversation. And then she offered him a cigarette, and he took it without any regret.

And then she asked him to go on a killing spree with her sometime next week, and he gladly agreed. He wondered what Kori would've thought of this, but Kori wasn't here so it didn't matter.

It didn't matter at all. And then, Jason thought back to when he agreed to go out on the killing spree with Rose. Did she just ask him out? Yes, she did. And he said yes. The things that a cigarette can do to you.

Maybe he should listen to Kori and not smoke so much.

So my first JasonxRose story. It won't be my last that's for sure. So, you're asking how this all came up. Well, I was looking at pictures on Tumblr. And I came across this very cute one with Jason and Rose smoking together. And this idea just blossomed! Credits to whoever made that Jason and Rose picture.
