Before I continue, I just wanted to say that YES I WILL TAKE REQUESTS. If you have a song idea, send it in through review or PM, and if I don't know it, I'll YouTube it, and I'll get it done as quick as possible.
Song: Angel With a Shotgun by The Cab
Rated: T for Jason's mouth
Theme: Angsty, slight family
Characters: Jason
Description: Jason considering who he is
Get out your guns. Battle's begun. Are you a saint or a sinner?
He was never quite sure which side of the law he'd been on. He had defended innocents, true, and had lowered crime, but his methods were hardly pure, and he often murdered the people who stood against him.
If love's a fight, than I shall die, with my heart on a trigger.
Ok, so maybe I was a bit gun crazy and trigger happy. He thought. Does that really make me evil? I never killed innocents. But a little voice in the back of his head reminds him that he had made several assassination attempts against Bruce and Dick, as well as Tim and Damian. They may not have been much, and he may have been incredibly angry, but they were his family.
They say before you start a war, you better know what you're fighting for.
Even under the rage filled insanity caused by the Pit, Jason was always aware on some level of his actions. He'd believed that some of the people he'd hurt deserved it, but he knew that that wasn't how it should work, and not how it did work either. Now he knew he was fighting to right all those wrongs, and serve justice the right way. Batman's methods may not have been perfect, but it was better than murdering.
Well baby you are all that I adore. If love is what you need, a soldier I will be.
He knew he was lucky to have had Alli, that, despite all his mistakes, all the hurt and wrongs he'd caused for her, she still loved him just as much, and was always there to help and forgive him. His sister had stood beside him and had pushed him to right things with the other half of his family. He also felt fortunate that Bruce and Dick had been so willing and ready to forgive him, and welcome him back into the fold. He had trusted that Alfred would be more than happy to have him back, but wasn't sure about the rest of the BatClan. He knew Tim and Damian would be harder to fix things with, but he'd deal with them when the time came.
I'm an angel with a shotgun, fighting 'til the war's won, I don't care if Heaven won't take me back.
He was ready to fight for Gotham until the end. This city may not have been...the friendliest or kindest to him. But he had grown up here, and he was glad to be back after all the time gone.
I'll throw away my faith today, just to keep you safe. Don't you know you're everything I have!
He was willing to make up with Bruce, move back in, he was more than happy to bring Alli along with him. His sister had been through a lot, and she deserved more than what she's had. She had lived a hard life, harder than she deserved, and he was glad she was finally getting the kind of life he thought she deserved.
And I wanna live not just survive, tonight.
Sometimes to win, you've got to sin. Don't mean I'm not a believer.
Jason often wondered if he could ever really right the things he'd done wrong. He was well aware of how many mistakes he made, and he felt unsure of how to atone for any of them.
And Major Tom will sing along, yeah they still say I'm a dreamer.
They say before you start a war, you better know what you're fighting for.
He knew it would be a long, hard, uphill battle to get back to where he was, but it was worth it. He'd face Tim and Damian, Commissioner Gordon, the entire freaking BatClan, and all others who might show opposition to him to regain their trust.
Well baby you are all that I adore. If love is what you need, a soldier I will be.
He knew Dick would often be there to comfort Alli at night, and had helped her with the night terrors. Normally he wouldn't approve of anyone spending nights with his sister, but he knew nothing happened, and that Dick was doing Alli a favor. He was ok at comforting her but that wasn't how they really worked. He couldn't help her with the nightmares and the pain that came at night. It came from her own guilt at losing him, and he couldn't seem to ease it. He hoped one day he would know how to, but until then he was grateful to Dick for stepping up to help his sister in ways he couldn't.
I'm an angel with a shotgun, fighting 'til the war's won, I don't care if Heaven won't take me back.
Jason knew that first and foremost, he would always be a soldier, a fighter, battling and fighting for the innocents, and the ones who suffered, defending them with anything he had. Even his life.
I'll throw away my faith today, just to keep you safe. Don't you know you're everything I have?
He would fight for his family just as hard. His sister, who lost, and then found. Dick, his older brother, who he was determined to never grow estranged from again. His two younger brothers, even if they didn't accept him at first. And Bruce. His father. The man who had taken him in, raised him, taken care of him, like no one else had before. He'd die for them all.
And I want to live not just survive. And I'm gonna hide, hide, hide my wings tonight.
