A/N: I couldn't wait to post this :D sequel to Death is overrated anyways
"Red! The gas tanks!" Roy yelled, from the second floor of the ware house, Jason jumped over a group of men coming at him and landed beside the door, "Fire in the hole!" He yelled. Roy jumped down beside him landing on someone who had gotten too close to him.
Red Hood lifted his arms and shot out at the flammable gas tank and it blew throwing a few men in different directions, Roy and Jason threw their shoulders into the door rolling out into the street as hot flames erupted from the door.
"Arsenal!" They jumped up to their feet as the other Roy and Green Arrow jumped down only a few feet away from them.
"Time to go." Roy smiled, Jason chuckled, "My thoughts exactly."
Red Arrow shot at them and Jason threw a ninja star hitting the arrow before it got to them. It blew creating a small could of dust and the other Archers were thrown back by Roy`s arrows.
"This way!" Roy nodded and they raced through the alley. It was odd how a peacefulnight could just turn, but with them it usually did. Beside him Arsenal somersaulted firing a quick arrow behind him. They rounded a corner and Jason nodded as they headed down opposite alley ways. He looked over his shoulder to see Red Arrow following him.
Jason shot at Red arrow and couldn't help but think he was shooting at Roy, because in all terms he was, kind of. Red arrow being Roy`s clone and all. Red Arrow hit the floor sliding closer as Jason turned a corner.
Suddenly someone landed down in front of him and he crashed into the girl. He smiled behind the mask at the girl in green, "I don't remember you."
The blonde sneered, "You will."
She kneed him in the stomach and he grabbed her shoulders spinning her around, jumping up and kicking into Red Arrow as he came running around the corner. "Artemis?" Red Arrow asked in surprise they feel on the floor and Jason rolled his eyes and ran out into the street.
"Where the hell are you?" He growled looking around for Roy, people on the side walk gasped when they saw him and he looked over his shoulder to see Read arrow and Artemis running up to him.
"Hey!"
Jason looked down the street to see Roy on the motorcycle coming his way, Jason ran up the street and jumped onto a car before jumping onto the back of the bike as it passed.
"Miss me?" Roy smiled a half smile, the Archer`s white optic lenses that covered his eyes stared over at him.
"Get over yourself harper." Jason growled. He waved goodbye to three hero`s as Green Arrow ran up to the other two archers.
"You have and odd family." Jason said turning around on the bike and looking over Roy`s shoulder. Roy raised an eyebrow, "Look who's talking."
"Mine doesn't bother me…much." Jason chuckled, "So where to next?"
"What do you think? Home." Roy smiled, he swerved the bike into the alley and Jason jumped off before Roy drove into the shed and parked the bike. By the time the Archer had locked the shed and was climbing threw the window Jason was already pulling off his hood.
"Home sweet home." Roy smiled throwing the knap sack of arrows onto the floor before lying down on the couch.
Jason rolled his eyes at Roy and walked into the bedroom. He didn't waste time taking off his jacket and shirt before he laid on the bed on his back looking up at the white ceiling and rubbing his sore hand with the other.
It had been two months since the whole thing, Joker, him, and Bruce and his hand still felt the effects of when the gun had blown in his hand. He hoped Bruce was hurting just the same, he was hoping they all were. He wanted to believe that his existence was burning a hole straight threw their happy family because after everything, he still ended up with the short stick.
Over those short two months he had only seen Batman and the others a few times. Him and Roy spent little time in Gotham having their hide out in Starcity helped to avoid them, but in was putting a considerable strain on Green arrow, which he thought was hilarious.
The situation was, this wasn't his city, he missed Gotham. No matter how pissed off he was at his "Family" that was his city and he wasn't going to just hand it over because he was out numbered, well they were out matched. Jason sighed, he would never ask Roy to fight with him, if it came down to if like the past, how could he?
Even though he would never to the bastard, Roy was the only person he could trust, and count on, it would go straight to his head. The people around him always ended up dead or betraying him and if Roy got mixed in with Batman and the other then he was…worried as to what the obnoxious archer could get into. If he had to say it he wouldn't, but Roy was if anything…growing on him.
Roy had been the best, he had kept his secret identity in the shadows, it didn't surprise him to find out that their little battle in Gotham had been kept as quiet as possible; meaning no one outside of the Batfamily plus Roy knew he was alive. Good.
Jason rolled over and laid his hands on his arms, his black hair falling in his face and just brushing the tip of his nose, the sounds of the traffic just outside his window and the muffled noises of the T.V in the living room seemed to sooth his nerves.
Sadly his thoughts drifted to other matters, other people, Robin. Tim Drake. The kid thought it was just fun and games being Robin, no; if the kid crossed his path again he would show him what being a Robin really meant. It meant getting beaten up, killed, being bait, it meant all the things that a hero wasn't. That's why Robin wore the bright colors, while every one watched the kid dancing and prancing around the battle field Batman would sneak around and take the spot light leaving the real heroes to fight and die for him.
Jason blinked and sat up crossing his legs on the bed, he needed to think. Over the past few months he had almost forgotten what his sensei had taught him, what Ducra had taught him.
Ducra was a tiny, short, humpback old lady that never stopped calling him man-child the whole year he trained with her, he had been and ass the second they had met and she put him on his ass, which had never happened, being Robin he had never met anyone who could be faster nor better than him at anything. She had taught him in the ways of All Caste. It was a dead fighting technique but being older than old see had a lot of secrets, and from all people to bring him to that place? The woman who had been the first to save him, Talia ah Ghul, another deed against her father. Maybe to get on Bruce`s good side, he didn't care, he was just grateful.
"The names Jas-," He was about to say looking down at the old woman. Ducra waved her hand shriveled dismissively.
"Shush, bow before your superior man child." She croaked her eye boring into his skull. Jason smiled and kneeled down patting her on the head, "I might if I ever met one, but I don't do the bowing Grammy."
Talia looked down at him blinking cautiously, "Jason I wouldn't -, never mind." She hid her face with her hair in embarrassment.
Before he knew it Ducra pulled him over her head and he hit the floor with her pulling his arm behind his back, "I`ve been doing this for three thousand years. It took you only six seconds to torque me off, that has got to be some kind of record."
Jason gritted his teeth but she didn't let go, she only continued to talk, "You`re out cold now. Which means your useless. Defenseless, and mercifully silent."
Jason smiled closing his eyes at the old woman`s odd behavior, she had taught him so much it was a shame to have to leave.
"You`ve learned quickly Jason but your anger makes you sloppy." One of the monks said pointing the spear at him as Jason got into a fighting position.
They were perhaps the greatest people he ever knew, and for him, that was saying something. Jason came to the fair conclusion he wouldn't be able to sleep with the memories for his past invading his mind. He got up and grabbed a tank top off the dresser and walked into the living room and sat on the sofa next to Roy who smiled at him then leaned forward and handed him a coke.
Jason blinked icy blue eyes and smiled, "Thanks."
Roy tilted his head, "don't mention it," Before they turned back to the T.V to see what type of work they would be dealing with tomorrow.
A/N: What do you think, I was re-reading the new 52 red hood and the outlaws and I was just like, this old lady is awesome, and I thought it was funny she kept calling him man-child so I put her in here for a brief moment.
