Jason Todd finished taking down another criminal that night. It was raining, and it was the most longest night for him. He had put the beaten body onto the ground, then Nightwing came.
"Jason, what the fuck. You shot him like twenty times in the leg." Nightwing had jumped from the roof and landed next to Jason. Jason had turned off his thing on his helmet that had his voice alternated.
"I guess I got a little carried away." Jason smirked inside his helmet, Nightwing knelt and felt for a pulse on the man.
"He's still alive, but if he stays out here, he's going to die." Jason shook his head and Nightwing contacted the police with paramedics.
Jason and Nightwing went to the top of the building above them. They stood and watched over the city of Gotham. Batman had been missing for months, and now they had to take over the job.
…..
"JAY GET THE MONEY!" Catgirl was yelling at me as I was packing as much money in the bags. The sound of alarm was going off as we were in the vault.
The bags were filled with the sweet paper, until there was a crash through the front door. Nightwing and Red Hood were at the doors. Fighting off the henchmen, snapping hands and hard punches.
"Oh shit… Let's get the fuck out of here Jay!" Catgirl ran into the vault grabbing me by the arm. I finished zipping up the bag, and ran out the vault door being caught by Nightwing.
"What's this? Miniature Catwoman and a red and black suit guy. I kinda wanna try that out... Blue isn't my style anymore." Nightwing grabbed Catgirl, letting myself quickly punch Nightwing repetitive. Having Nightwing let loose on Catgirl and losing his focus on Catgirl and I, grabbing Catgirl's hand and ran with the money.
Red Hood finished with the last of my crew, seeing us running out the door, he started shooting at us. He missed all his shots then started running for us with angered voice.
The rain was hitting the ground as hard as hail. I couldn't stop, I had the money, I needed the money. Or my boss had different plans for Catgirl and I. I heard footsteps behind us, getting closer every second.
We found an alley and hid behind a dumpster that was not too far down the ally. The footsteps ran past us, making us relax. I looked over the Catgirl and smiled.
"Well, that was a close one…" We laughed, staring into each other's eyes. Then I was blinded, not longer feeling the sweet touch of Catgirl or the ground. Smoke all around me, I was lifted up into the air. Only seeing a Red Batman logo on the man's chest, unable to do anything I was thrown black to the ground.
"Next time let's don't run from the Red Hood." Pain shot threw my leg, different then anything before. I was shot, I've never felt a bullet wound before.
"AAHH! FUCK!" I screamed loud enough for anyone the hear me, but Red Hood covered my mouth.
"Ah… death is so much worse then two gun shots," He let go of me and stepped away slowly. "Also... The red... That's my thing buddy.
I was clenched my leg and quickly taking off my mask and wrapped it around my leg. It had barely stretched around my leg.
Red Hood had disappeared, leaving me to bleed in the rain. Catgirl was gone, unable to speak because I was afraid to get caught by the police. The rain was starting to settle down, and more calm. I could actually see more then five feet away from my face.
I heard a pair of footsteps walking down the alley. I got more cramped up in the corner of the wall and the dumpster. Then a voice came out of the person that was walking.
"Red Jay…. It's me Nightwing… Can we talk…" First I didn't answer, and I pulled out my sword from my sword waist harness.
"Red Jay! I have information about Catgirl's location." I jumped from my spot forgetting my leg was injured. Falling back to the ground Nightwing was there to help me back up.
"Lets go… I got a place for you to stay." Nightwing's bike had been parked on the road, less then fifteen away from the dumpster.
Nightwing was driving his bike, going over seventy miles per hour on the wet road. The rain going down harder then it was when I busted out of the bank with Catgirl. I was thinking if Nightwing was just using me to just get me in a cell. Or even to get Red Hood to finish me off with a bullet to my head.
I finally asked, "Nightwing, why did you come back for me?" He didn't answer making me feel very uncomfortable. He took a sharp right with our feet barley touching the ground.
We arrived at a cave, it was Batman's cave. The one and only Batcave, I got off of Nightwing bike and followed Nightwing to a elderly man.
"Alfred, this is Red Jay, he will be our new guest." Alfred was wearing his tux with a white cloth hanging off his arm.
"Master Dick don't you think Master Bruce won't like this?" Nightwing took off his mask and smirked.
"I really don't care, Red Jay can really help us and I promised him that I would help him. Since Bruce is gone, Red Robin is injured, and Robin is just being a little dumb kid!" Alfred and I stood in shock looking at Nightwing.
"Master Dick I know we are all hurt from this mess, but you don't have to bring a young teen into our home." Alfred had walked over to Nightwing holding in by his arms.
"This guy is right, all my life I was grown around crazy criminals. I'm apart of the gang of… well I don't have a gang. I'm mostly a guy that gets hired for work."
"Well you know everything about criminals and how they plan ideas, right?" I nodded and Nightwing ran to the computer closing cases that he finished that night. Alfred was patching me up from the gun shot and the other cuts from earlier that night.
In my mind I kept repeating, "I have to tell them… everything." Alfred had finished patching me up. I walked over to Nightwing, he was sitting in his regular clothes. I sat on the floor and he looked at me.
"My name is Jay, Jay Jaxon. My dad had given me away to the criminal life before I was even five. I had been trained by all the biggest criminals in Gotham. My mother and father had moved to a different country when I was ten, but I wasn't allowed to leave from my trainer," Nightwing was looking up my name in the criminal database. Showing me with many counts of murder, robberies, drug dealing, and even grand theft auto. But I was never caught, I had just set a picture of me putting a gun to my head and winking with my suit on.
"What the hell, you're probably the most wanted criminal in Gotham." I looked away from the mess, looking at the batman trophies. Then letting everything else spill out of my mind to the world.
"I met Batman at the fifth robbery I obtained, it was the big one. I was the only one that escaped, he was with the second robin. He was really a tuff fighter for where I was standing. Also me and that second robin seemed the same age," There was a pause, Red Hood had walked into the Batcave.
"Why in the fuck is this guy here?!" Red Hood started angry walking towards me. I took off my mask again, then he shot his gun. Nightwing had hit the gun out of his hand, I got up and tackled Red Hood. His helmet fell off, showing his face.
"Wait… You were the second Robin…. But didn't you die?" Red Hood shoved me off of him then getting up putting his helmet back on.
"You should really keep your mouth shut sometimes, and yes, I'm the "second" robin." I was still confused how he could fake his death with the Joker.
"Sooo…. wait did you die or was it all fake?" Red Hood turned around after picking up his gun, putting in his pocket and walking away.
"He came back from the lazarus pit, someone taking his body and dumped it in there to be used." Nightwing had came out of nowhere that had scared me.
"That still doesn't make sense, why would they want to use him." Nightwing was getting a little annoyed from all the questions in one night.
"Alright Jay, enough questions for one night. It's already one o'clock in the morning," Alfred came walking towards us. "Alfred will take you to your room you will be staying in."
"Nightwing… thanks for not letting me bleed out in the street. And uh-."
"No need to thank me Jay, and also call me Dick." Alfred took me all the way of a long flight of stairs though a clock door. I was a in manor walking past many doors and big rooms. Alfred opened a door to a king sized room, with even a microwave.
"Thank you Alfred," I walked into the room then he closed the door after. I jumped on the while ripping off my ninja suit, "This has been weirdest night of my life…."
