Hoods

by kmeticata

Jason Todd received a call that will probably turn his whole life. Will he be at last able to change or will he one more time push everyone aside? The Red Hood will have to for the first time in his life take responsibility for somebody besides himself.

1. Chapter 1

Jason felt how his blood was literally freezing. Or was it all in his mind? Maybe he was only imagining that his whole body was stiffened. He automatically sped up trying to make himself enjoy this long ride at least a little until he reached the bike's limits. The sudden adrenalin warmed his soul a little, but not his numb body.

Why was he out in the first place? For all Jason knew all of this could be a terribly not funny joke, but no, Jason was currently driving through a freaking deserted highway leading to God knows where, only because of a stupid phone call he received yesterday, but he remembered it like if it happened a minute ago.

His phone had rang for quite some time before Jason answered it. It was a private number and at first Jason neglected picking up. But whoever was calling was very persuasive. Jason wasn't known for his great patience skills so after about two minutes of his constant vibratinging phone he lost his cool. He didn't introduce himself because he was sure that whoever was calling had the wrong number. Not that Jason received lots of calls, he hardly led a normal life now, being Red Hood ninety per cent 24/7. Anyway after Jason picked up he received no answer as if there was no man on the other line. Jason had long lost his last bit of patence so after he yelled all swore words that came to his mind he hung the phone up. But after he did the latest thing without first thinking, he couldn't help but repeat everything that happened in his head. The call just couldn't have been a normal mistake. Because life had taught him there were no such things as fortuitousnesses. Every week he had to change his phone and his number to avoid being followed even thought he used this phone only as civilian, but he still always kept a phone with himself. And the call just couldn't have been a freaking mistake because fuck a normal reaction from the person on the other line would have been an apology or some lame excuse or something, but not a held breath because yeah this person had held his breath because Jason didn't hear a fucking breathing! Was it possible the man calling to be from his other life? But not then did Jason lose his mind. Because seconds after the call he received a SMS.

Jason Todd, meet me at the Warehouse of Southfable tomorrow evening.

Then did Jason lose it.
