Hi! Thank you guys so much for your reviews! I'm glad you liked the first chapter, so I decided to continue.

It's a small chapter, but it's mostly introductory. Bear in mind that I'm basing my story on some events from Red Hood and the Outlaws, basically because I can totally see Jason and Roy as the angry duo in Young Justice.

Enjoy!

The Red Hood

One year later

Miami

November 2, 00:12

Henry Sandoval backed away until his back hit the wall. He couldn't run and there was no one left to protect him, all his men were dead.

How was that possible? How could twenty armed men lose against one single guy?

"Who the hell are you?" Sandoval asked, grabbing his Glock 18 with his trembling hands.

"Well… that doesn't really matter, does it?" the man with the red mask said, moving closer to the terrified man. "Now, Henry, we have to talk."

Sandoval fired, but the man moved out the way and kicked him in the stomach and punched him in the face before grabbing his neck. His gun fell to the ground, completely out of his reach.

"Maybe you didn't understand, I said we were going to talk" the masked man groaned.

"I haven't done nothin'!"

"We both know that's a lie" the masked man answered angrily as he pushed Sandoval against the wall. "Blackmail, hits, extortion, drug dealing, gun dealer, rape and even domestic abuse. Not even your wife and son escaped, you worthless scumbag!"

"Did… did that bitch sent you?" Sandoval asked. "Did she pay you? Because I can double it! I can pay you whatever…"

"I don't want your filthy money, Sandoval! I want answers! Where did you sent the nuclear weapons?"

"Wha…?"

"Don't play dumb. I know you sold them, I've seen your payment. You couldn't care less about the lives those bombs are gonna take, do you? All you see are those zeros on your bank account!"

"You're crazy! I didn't sell any weapons!" Sandoval yelled miserably. "I'm just an honest businessman" without hesitation, the masked man shot his right leg. "AAAAAHH! GOD DAMNIT! AAH! YOU SHOT ME!"

"Damn right. Lie to me again and I'll continue shooting. Now… tell me where you sent the bombs."

Bailing pathetically, Sandoval told him everything, which the masked man recorded on his hidden phone. Then, he remembered the families this man had destroyed, the kids who died of his drug dealing, the women he raped but never got justice and the beaten faces of his wife and son. He kept all those faces in his head as he punched Sandoval to the ground and shot him in the head.

Batman wouldn't have done it. Batman would have beaten Sandoval and his thugs into a pulp and left them for the cops to find. Then, Sandoval would either pay his bail or pay some of his buddy cops to keep him out of jail and free to continue his dirty work.

Now, Henry Sandoval would never hurt anyone ever again. It didn't matter that Batman would never approve. It shouldn't matter, not anymore.

"Red Hood, here" he said to his phone. "Did you hear everything?"

"Every bit" a male voice said on the other side. "I guess we have work to do tonight."

"You can go back to bed once the bombs are destroyed, Arsenal."

"I wasn't planning on sleeping, though I had other plans in my mind. I'll bring Kori."

"Right" the Red Hood answered. "I'll see you in the harbor."

"Hood… There's something else" Arsenal said. "The League is already looking for the bombs. They'll find Sandoval soon and you. Nightwing and his gang are also looking."

Red Hood sighed as he jumped from the window into the nearest roof, avoiding any potential cameras. He knew the League Junior was already tracking him for months, but they had failed to catch him. There was no way he was going to let them sent him to jail or an asylum.

Also, he would never let them know who he really was.

"I have to work fast then" the Red Hood said.

"Do what you have to do, but don't get yourself killed" Arsenal said. "Wait for the team."

Under his mask, Red Hood frowned. "We're not a team, Arsenal."

"Maybe… but you need help and I sort of owe you. See you later, Hood."

Red Hood turned off his phone with a small smile. For reasons that he was still trying to comprehend, he had burst Roy Harper out of a prison in Qurac and let the redhead find out about his identity. Maybe it was because Red Hood identified with the original Roy Harper more than anyone else. He knew what was like to be taken away, forgotten and replaced by the people who were meant to care.

"No time for moping" the seventeen-year-old thought. "Time to blow up a submarine."

Mount Justice

November 2, 18:23

Nightwing was having a bad day. It was bad enough to know that several nukes had been smuggled from the US to a group of terrorists, but it was even worse to discover that the guy who knew were they where was dead.

They had searched for the person who sold the bombs for weeks, but when Robin and his team had finally found him, they discovered he had been murdered along with every one of his bodyguards and associates.

They didn't take long to discover who had done it. He had been careful, but one of their satellites had caught the culprit leaving Sandoval's building.

The Red Hood. That guy was playing some serious moves. Both Dick and Bruce were worried when they first found out about the guy. There had been other criminals to use the Joker's old name, but this one was different. He was a very skilled fighter and could handle any kind of weapon from guns to knives.

Nevertheless, the guy wasn't their usual criminal. He worked as a vigilante, killing other criminals very effectively. As far as they knew, he didn't do it for money, greed or revenge, but he was still a dangerous Outlaw. No one could forget that he had been to one to break Arsenal out of jail or that the latter had joined forces with him, much to Green Arrow and Red Arrow's disbelief.

"Robin to Cave! Nightwing, are you there?" his communicator buzzed.

"Nightwing here. Did you find the bombs?"

"We were too late" Robin answered. "The bombs were taken by a submarine. By the time we got there someone had already blown it up."

Dick closed his eyes. He didn't need Tim to tell him who had been responsible for blowing the submarine.

"Robin, return to the Cave. The Red Hood beat us again."

So, the Red Hood's nature is introduced. Do you hate him? Understand him?

Unlike Bruce or Dick, Jason didn't come from a loving family. His upbringing made him a more difficult child, which is understandable.

For years, Jason was blamed in the comics for his own demise. Rather than see his last stand as heroic (he tried to save his mother, despite the fact that she sold him to the Joker), the comics focused on the fact that he was reckless and disobeyed Batman (which both Dick and Tim also do). Many characters flat out said that Jason was the "failed Robin" and implied that he got what was coming to him.

Anyway, thanks for reading. I hope you liked it.

See ya!
