Prompt: Batman dies protecting Red Hood from the explosion.
Jason just sits there, in the rubble and dust, holding Batman(Bruce) and thinks, horribly, that it doesn't make up for letting the Joker live so long.
When the Joker starts up his hyena-laugh, the one that's haunted Jason's every moment for years, Jason raises his gun and puts a bullet between the fucker's eyes.
And Jason just keeps sitting there, thinking, I killed him. I killed Batman. I killed Joker.
I killed Bruce.
And raising his eyes to look at the dark sky, he thinks, Does this mean Gotham is mine?
