Dead But With A Twin
Here I am, in a therapists room, squeezed into this tiny chair. Honestly, I've imagined my life in a lot of ways, but this is not one of them. After Dick made what was probably the biggest screwup of the fucking decade, we managed to clear it up by the fact that, actually I'm not Jason Todd. That's right, right now I'm Jason Peter Todd's twin, Yeez Bread Todd, the secret adopted son of Bruce fucking Wayne (remind me to never let Dick do the talking again). Yeah, and to think a few hours ago people were giving me a hard time for the name I came up with, at least it makes sense! Anyway, it looks like there is just no way i will be able to get out of this mess without meeting Bruce, not unless he shuts himself from the world for months until headlines stop screaming things like "Dead But With A Twin!", or something like that. I'm pulled out of my thoughts when an annoying voice starts asking me a question.
"Do you perhaps think the reason for your insecurity is the uniqueness of your situation? Perhaps due to the father figure in your life?" The therapist asks, a serious expression on his face. What he probably meant was how a street kid was taken into a mansion and how the "father figure" was a fucking billionaire, not how I came back to fucking life and how the supposed "father figure" dresses up as a bat at night. What a fucked up life I have. Oh wait, I'm supposed to answer the question.
"Insecurity? What insecurity?" I ask cluelessly, wanting to annoy the shit out of him. I could beat him up, but Dick said that if I did anything to that guy, I would be forced to come to even more sessions. Though according to Dickhead, if I behave, I don't have to stare at these ugly gray walls ever again. An hour and a half with an idiot who thinks I'm on the verge of suicide (I can thank Dick for that too), with major daddy issues and my name is Yeez fucking Bread. Oh joy.
Dick's POV
"This isn't what it looks like, you see ummm this isn't Jason Todd," I begin, looking around in desperate hope that a solution will pop up, when I see some lady wearing Yeezy's "This is his twin! This is uh his identical twin Yeez Todd"
If possible, his death glare became even more terrifying, but I just threw him a 'like-you-did-any-better' look.
To my surprise the nurse behind the desk shrugs, seemingly buying the name. "Since you don't have any medical files, we need to create one for you. Would you mind telling us your middle name?" The nurse asks, typing away on the computer. Since Jason seemed so unhappy last time I helped him up, this time I'm leaving him to answer on the spot. Instead of saying anything, he begins looking around wildly, before finally sending me a desperate look. I throw him a smirk, before saying the first thing that comes to mind.
"Bread. Yeez Bread Todd." I say slowly, savoring the moment when Jason's face gets darker with rage, as he struggles to contain himself. If he hadn't made the past day so fucking hard, maybe I would feel a little sorry for him. But now? Not really. I want to get started on booking his appointment, but people immediately start crowding us. Shit, I'd completely forgotten what being recognized as Bruce Wayne's son felt like, suffocating.
"What is your reason for keeping his existence a secret?" A guy in a hoodie asks. Jason again sends me the same desperate look and begins trying to become one with the wallpaper. I guess Jason is still scared of reporters. Who would've thought, a guy who came back from the dead, scared of a few people asking questions. I could really have fun with this.
"The reason has always been hidden is because he suffered from….depression, anxiety and panic attacks he always has had low self esteem and that really is why we wanted him out of the public eye, since we all know how critical it could be." I savor the moment when Jason's face becomes redder than a tomato, maybe he wouldn't be so fast to call me Golden boy next time.
