Me: Hello everyone, and welcome to The Hood's Life.
Jason: Why the hell am I one of the main characters in this story of yours?
Me: Well Jason, I love you as character in the comics and I thought it would be interesting to write a story about you having a daughter and going out to protect her. I'm trying to make you a good person in the hearts of my readers!
Jason: Alright, alright! Just start the story already!
Me: I will, just after making a few notes. First one, this story takes place before Damian comes in. He will come in, but maybe the first 5ish chapters will be just Jason, Dick, Bruce, Tim, Alfred, and Jason's child. And after that, Damian will come in as a his 10 year self and before he enters I would like you guys to decide how Damian acts. Nice or mean to Jason's child is all up to you, my Moonbeams.
The Hood's Life
Part 1: I have to find her, Dick.
Jason's POV
I quickly slip into the Batcave and move over to the computer, hoping that Bruce wouldn't come in before I get the information that I need. I quickly type away on the computer the name: Layla Mason. The computer starts searching the name into its database and soon the name pop up and I stop myself from destroying the cave. 'She mine. She looks just like me.' She had stunning blue eyes and my nose, but that is where the difference stop from us. She had beautiful long wavy white-blonde hair hair and pale skin, but when I moved down to her face I see the thing I forced myself to do.
She's forcing a smile. I've never met her and that is breaking my heart.
"Jason? What are you doing here?" I hear Dick ask in a tired voice. Seconds later he's sitting beside me, looking at the screen. "Who's the girl?" He asks.
"She's my…she's my daughter…" I whisper.
"What?! When did this…" Dick starts, but I stand up and snap at him.
"I don't know, Grayson! I just found out from Roy, okay! And he said that her mother just passed away, and that her uncle doesn't have the best rep for children, and…" By the then he got up and hugged me.
"It's alright, Jason. I'll help you find her." He whispers.
"I know where she is, I just don't know if I can take care of her. I'm not really father material, Dick. I don't have a stable home, and with my job and everything…" I start to ramble.
"Hey, just worry about getting her, I will handle all the rest. Alright?" I nod and move to leave the cave to head to South Korea.
~After a Super Long Plane Ride~
I quickly get off the plane and check into a decent hotel, and head out to the address that Roy gave me. I soon find that it's in the middle of nowhere. Dirt road, and plant life for miles. Soon I come up a rundown shack. Uncut grass, beer bottles, and broken windows all shows signs of an unfit parent…
'What the fuck am I talking about...I am an unfit parent...' I think to myself as I hear the creak of the shack door open, moments later Layla comes running out with no shoes and dirty dress. I guess she didn't care about who I was because she quickly hide behind me.
"Get back here, you little bitch!" I hear a drunk voice yell as a potbelly man comes out. "Who the fuck are you?!" He yells at me.
"Layla Mason's father, and I'm taking her with me." I say, glaring at him.
"Oh really now? And how will you do that?" He ask, in a very drunken manner.
"Please, if you know anything about me you know I could have you dead in three second." I say giving the look that says; 'Try anything and I will shoot you.'
"Fine, you can keep her for all I care." He mutters, walking back into his shack. I sigh as I turn around and kneel down, facing her.
"I know who you are. Mom, talked about you." She whisper as she pulls out a locket and opens it show a picture of me.
"I'm sorry about her, Layla." I whisper and she quickly crawls into my arms, and being how small she is hides most of her body in my leather jacket. I smile softly as I carry her back into town, and hop on a bus back to the hotel. Once the bus gets to my stop, I get off and walk to the room, by then Layla is already asleep in my arms. Once I make it to the door I find Roy and Kori standing there.
"What are you guys doing here?" I ask softly as I unlock the door. I gently set Layla down on the bed, taking my jacket off for her to use as a blanket.
"Dick told us where you were and we thought you might need some stuff for kid." Roy say as he hand me a black bag, and Kori hands a small backpack with space like pattern on it.
"I pick out the clothes for the teacup human, Jason." Kori comments. I smile and thank her and Roy just as my phone rings.
"Can you two watch her while I answer this." They agree and I quickly step outside and answer it. "Jason."
"How is it going?" I hear Dick ask.
"I got her without any bloodshed, and Roy and Kori were at the hotel with some stuff for her. She's asleep."
"That's good, I told Bruce about this and…"
"Why in the hell would you tell Bruce?!" I snap at him.
"Well, lets see, he can do the documents for you, and also help me find an apartment in a good part of town for you and her to live and…"
"Okay, I get it Dick, I get it."
"Anyway, we should have everything almost done when you get back, just so you know."
"Thank you Dick, I'll talk to you later." I say, hanging up. I sigh quickly as I hang up the phone and to quite a scene. Layla has woken up and now hiding in the corner as she watches Kori and Roy fighting. "Guys, knock it off!" I yell at them as Layla comes running up to me and I pick her up quickly.
"Sorry Jason…" Roy say, and to quickly change the subject moves over to talk to Layla. "I am sorry about that. I am your Uncle Roy and that is your Aunt Kori." He says and Layla moves her head off my chest to look at him.
"I'm Layla…" She whispers. "And I'm nine!" She adds quickly
"How am I her Aunt when Jason and I share no blood?" Kori asks as I set Layla down.
"It's just what close friend do, I guess." Kori accepts this and I try to get Layla to the bathroom to give her a bath, but she says no and asks Kori to do it. Once the bathroom door closes behind them I turn to the bags they brought in.
"What the hell did you buy her?" I ask as I take out some of the things from the black bag. I quickly find 1 pair of sandals, 4 pairs of Converse (Black, Blue, Red, and Purple), 9 solid dresses, a couple pairs of jeans and shirt, and some pjs.
"Kori loves shopping no matter who it's for, I handle some of the other stuff that are in the backpack." He says as he hands me the backpack and I open it to find 3 coloring books, crayons, a light blanket with a black and white checker pattern, a couple kids' books, a stuffed white dragon, and a 3Ds with a pokemon dragon on it with a few pokemon games, Zelda game, a few Mario games and an opened Super Smash Bros.
"Three questions, one why in the living hell did you buy my daughter a 3Ds, Two why is one game opened, and three what is with the dragon stuff?" I ask, putting everything on the bed.
"Kids like the 3Ds and she would need something to do on a long flight. The reason the Smash game is opened is because I brought her all the DLC because I didn't know if her favorite character was already on the game, and the dragon stuff is because I think dragons are awesome and she should get into them!" Roy says, huffing.
"Alrighty then." I say, laughing just as Kori and Layla come out and Layla runs into my arms.
"Daddy, look at my clothes aren't they cute?!" She yells and I feel a well of pride when she said I was her father.
"Yes, they are cute, and you need to thank Kori for your clothes and Roy for you games and things. She quickly thanks them, and seconds later Roy has his own 3Ds out and is playing Smash with Layla as I leave the house to finish some business with someone.
~Morning the Next Day~
"So you killed him. Layla's uncle?" Roy asks as we stand outside so Roy smokes.
"You know that if I didn't that many kids would hurt by that man." I comment darkly.
"Hey, I'm happy that children can sleep knowing one prevert is off the streets. My turf or not, but it does bring up the question if you will change for your daughter or not." Roy comments.
"I know, I won't kill as much as I do know now, but still I won't stop all together." I say as Roy finishes his smoke and we head back into the room to find Layla all ready to go. We say goodbye to Roy and Kori as we check out of the hotel.
"Daddy, can we go say goodbye to Mommy before we leave?" Layla asks, and I nod as we make the short walk to the gravesite of her mother. Once there Layla shows me the grave and stand as I watch her sit beside it. "Hi Mommy. I just wanted to say bye. Daddy found me and now I'm going to leave with him in America. I hope you can still find me when I am across the world, but you said you that you would always find me, so you will be with me. Well, I better go. I love you Mommy. Forever and always.
