This was an idea that I came up with and wanted to tell. I had planned to make this into one chapter but decided to space it out. Just know that I don't plan on making this long and I'll tried to finish this when I can. Hope you like it.

It was pretty much the same kind of day in Hell like it always is, with demons walking around doing their business to turf wars going on and the occasional mischief and mayhem. For Jason Todd, it was basically the same day as always going from place to place looking for materials he could use along with punishing the sinners who would get on his nerves the most: killers and rapists. Jason could not stand to be around the killers and rapists that were in Hell with him so whenever they decided to do what they loved to do he punished them by going after them and attack them brutally since they were already in hell and couldn't die again unless it was by a weapon used by an exterminator angel used but when he was done with them he always made them wish it was an angel that came after them. He did this because even in Hell he was still the Red Hood. The second Robin that Batman had recruited, the one who was brutally killed by the Joker and brought back to life by Talia al Ghul who used the Lazarus Pit to bring him back eventually taking on the mantle of the Red Hood who did not go by Batman's no killing policy and killed the criminals who would not be changed no matter what.

As for how he had died and ended up in Hell, it's a bit of a mystery for him. He had went after the Joker after he had tampered with donor organs infecting them with Joker venom which caused the recipients who received to die violently laughing with a smile on their face with one of the victims being a little girl in need of a heart transplant. Hearing about this just made something in Jason snap as he vowed right then and there to kill the clown once and for all. Sure Bruce and the others had tried to stop him from killing and at times he stopped for a bit but it never lasted long since there would always be people who couldn't be touched by the law because of their power and money making where their victims would never get the justice they deserved. In fact there was one person who he was friends with during one of his breaks from being the Red Hood that he tried to help but couldn't stop her from killing herself in the end, it was her death that made him realize that the world needed him to be the Red Hood since no one else who get her the justice she deserved. He promised himself that he would end the lives of those who were depraved and could not be punished by the law. He had tracked Joker down to the hideout he was at going surprising him from the shadows and tackling him to the ground with the intent of stabbing him in the heart with a knife. However just as he was about to plunge the knife into Joker's heart everything just went dark and when he woke up he was in Hell with a stab wound right where his heart was.

Seeing himself in Hell wasn't exactly a surprise to Jason since he knew he would be going there when he was brought back from the dead but it was a shock to him seeing that he died from the way he was about to kill the Joker. There was no way the Joker could have killed him since he was disarmed and they were alone together. Jason tried going through all the possibilities he could think of but in the end he couldn't come up with a possible explanation and decided to accept the fact he was now dead and in Hell.

It took Jason a while to get used to his new life in Hell, it wasn't that hard since it was sort of like his days living on the streets as a kid before Bruce took him in. He would got small jobs such as delivering packages to washing dishes in diners. However as time went by he began to get disgusted with the certain sinner of Hell namely rapists and killers. Seeing how even in death they were still doing what got them put in Hell he decided to take up his Red Hood mantle making sure to put them in their place. Another thing that ticked him off was Extermination Day where angels from Heaven came down to Hell to start killing demons due to Hell's overpopulation. Normally he would have a problem with what they were doing but some of the sinners there were people who made certain mistakes in their lives such as suicide and accidentally killing someone. To him the angels were killers, killing whoever they can erasing their souls in the process and that didn't sit well with him so during his first extermination day he began picking off as many angels as he could using his skills as Red Hood. It was easy for him since they always killed what they saw never paying attention to their surroundings and made sure to take whatever weapons they had. After that Jason decided to set up several hideouts in Hell to stay at since he was certain to have gotten the attention of certain powerful demons in Hell. He made sure to always keep on the move was carrying a bag with his weapons mask taking whatever small job he came across.

Now it has been two years he has been in Hell, Jason had survived his second Extermination Day killing as many angels as he could with their own weapons while staying hidden in the shadows. After a day of washing dishes in a local diner he was making his way to one of his nearby hideouts while looking around to see if any killers and rapists were acting up. As he got close to the hideout he was heading to that was when he heard a woman screaming. Making his way to her he noticed a warthog like demon wearing a cheap suit holding a knife up to a tied up and gagged woman. Jason quickly made his way to them quickly putting on his mask and grabbing a few items out of his bag but stopped when he saw the woman's face.

"Vaggie." He said in a shocked tone.

EARLIER WITH VAGGIE

Vaggie, manager of the Happy Hotel and Charlie Magne's girlfriend, was currently making her way to a potential client/guest for the hotel. Apparently there was someone interested in the possibility for redemption where they could earn there way into Heaven. This person had called Vaggie, insisting in only talking and meeting her alone since they knew how everyone else in Hell felt about the possibility of redemption and didn't feel like they were important enough to meet Charlie. Something about this really seemed off to her but the possibility of finding a better guest for the hotel than Angel Dust was too good to pass up. So she made her to the meeting point without letting anyone else know. However when she got near the meeting point she was immediately grabbed and pulled into an alley with her hands immediately tied together. As she tried to process what just happened her body immediately froze when she heard a man's voice that she could never forget.

"Hello Vaggie, it's been a very long time." The man said as he stepped out into the open to reveal a warthog like demon wearing a cheap black suit.

Vaggie began shaking in fear as she immediately recognized the man in front of her: Benjamin Milton, the son of a famous businessman. "No, this can't be happening. There's no way you could be dead now." She said as Benjamin slowly made his way towards her.

"Oh but I am and it's all your fault." Benjamin replied with a scowl on his face.

"How it is my fault you're dead?!" Vaggie shouted.

Benjamin let out a small growl as he yelled out. "Because after you killed yourself, the Red Hood came after me. He killed my father, friends of my father, and then me!"

Vaggie just gave a look of disbelief hearing that. Why would the Red Hood do that? The last time she heard about the Red Hood was on the news when there was a crime war going on in Gotham and he managed to save Batman from Bane by cutting his Venom tubes before he could break Batman's back for the second time then began brutally beating him until he was pulled by Batman and several members of the Bat Family. "Why would he go after you?" She asked.

"I don't know. I mean if anyone was going to kill me I thought it would be that dumb friend of yours. He had the gall to attack me after you killed yourself." Benjamin answered as Vaggie gave a stunned look.

"Jason attacked you?"

"Yes, he said that your death was my fault and he intended to make me pay for it. Too bad I had him arrested shortly after." He replied as he then added. "I did intend to have him killed in prison but for some reason he made bail and was released."

Vaggie just growled hearing that. Jason happened to be a good friend of hers from when she was still alive. They had worked in the same diner together with him becoming a good friend of hers when he stepped in to save her against her slob of a step uncle when he attacked her at work not to mention he taught her how to fight so she could defend herself in the future. "I don't know why Red Hood came after you but you deserved it for everything you did to me and what you try to do to Jason." She said only for Benjamin to smack her across the face.

"You had it coming rejecting all of my invitations! You she be grateful!" He roared out as Vaggie's eyes turned red hearing that.

"Grateful? You raped me!" She screamed out. "I tried to press charges against you but that only led to your father destroying the evidence and buying the police and D.A.'s office! You made it where it felt pointless for me to live! It made me wish Jason was there when this happened."

"But he wasn't." Benjamin replied while letting out a small chuckle. "If I remember correctly he was out of town because of a family crisis."

Vaggie looked away as she remembered her last moments where Jason had returned home shortly after the trial finding out about what happened to her shortly after then went to find her. When he found her she was standing on top of her apartment building's roof where she was about to jump only for him to talk her out of it. He told her that he knew some people who could help her make sure to get the justice she deserved as he walked her to her apartment. He left her inside her apartment alone while he went to make a phone call only for her to see a message on her answering machine. It was a message from Benjamin telling her he felt up to another date and planned to pay her a visit pretty soon and there wasn't a thing she could do to stop it. She just felt hopeless when she heard that and immediately rushed into the kitchen to grab a knife and slash her wrists. Her last image was Jason finding her bleeding out. Pushing those memories aside she looked at Benjamin. "I take it you're the one who lured me out here? What is it you want?" She asked.

Benjamin just gave a small smirk. "Straight to the point, I like that." He said. "You see I've been in Hell for a while now working my way up to obtain the power I had when I was alive but I hadn't had that much luck. However I knew my luck was about to turn for the better when I saw the news interview your girlfriend had with Katie Killjoy about her stupid hotel and I saw you helping her out with her fight with Killjoy. I knew right then and there that things were finally going to go my way."

Vaggie gave a horrified look hearing this as she did not want this monster to hurt Charlie. Charlie was basically the ray of sunshine in her life who made her life finally worth living even though she was dead now. She gave her life meaning through her dream to help her kingdom. Sure she knew of her pass but she did not want this monster anywhere near her. "You leave Charlie alone! She has nothing to do with this!" She screamed out.

"Oh but she has everything to do with this." Benjamin quickly replied. "You see I plan to have some fun with you and after that I'm going to take pictures of it and send them to your girlfriend threatening to release them if she doesn't follow my demands. I have a good feeling that she'll cave in and then I'll finally get what I deserve." Benjamin then reached out towards Vaggie only for her to start screaming for help. Not wanting any interruptions he quickly smacked her across the face and stuff a rag in her mouth as he then pulled out a knife. "Now let's have some fun."

BACK TO THE PRESENT

Jason couldn't help but feel all sort of emotions go through him as he saw his once good friend about to be raped again. Of course it would make sense that she was in Hell given how she killed herself to see her but he didn't expect to run into her like this. He couldn't help but remember how he failed to help her, he thought he got through to her and was going to get some help but he left her alone for just a few minutes thinking she was going to be okay only for her to kill herself. He couldn't help but feel that he failed her and it was his fault she was dead. If only Dick hadn't found him and got him to come back to Gotham to help stop the crime war going on there, he could of stopped her from being raped and she would still be alive. Sure he avenged her by going after the person who raped her by killing everyone who helped him get away with her rape exposing their involvement and destroying his family's reputation and legacy while saving him for last but it still didn't bring her back. In the end it just made him realize that scum like that are better off dead than leaving it to the courts and justice when it can easily be tampered with. Now it seemed to be history repeating itself but this time he was going to change it. "No, not again." He said as he pulled out a gun and pointed it towards her rapist. "Get away from her!" He yelled out as he fired his gun hitting Vaggie's rapist right in the hand his knife was in.

Benjamin turned around only to give out a huge gasp of shock and start shaking his head in disbelief. "No! This isn't possible! You can't be dead yet!" He cried out as Jason stared at him.

Jason couldn't help but let out a small chuckle seeing who it was in front of him, the man responsible for Vaggie's death. It was almost like fate was giving him a do over to finally save her when he couldn't. "Well I got to say this is a surprise. I never thought I ever run into you again but I should of expected it. After all pigs like you never change." He responded as he rushed at Benjamin grabbing him by his right arm and throwing him across the alley away from Vaggie then quickly pulled out a knife cutting her loose as he quickly removed her gag then threw his knife right into Benjamin's right shoulder when he tried to get up. "Get out of here. I'll deal with this trash." He told her as he ran towards Benjamin pinning him to a wall with his right arm against his neck.

Vaggie couldn't help but watch as Red Hood began brutally beating the crap out of Benjamin. She wasn't watching because she wanted to see Benjamin get what's coming to him, no she was watching because of Red Hood. There was something about him that was very familiar. It was the way he talked and moved, she knew this person. That was when it hit her. "Jason." She quietly said as he slammed Benjamin's face against a wall. It made sense to her now why the Red Hood went after Benjamin after she died. She couldn't help but feel a mixture of emotions inside her. She had felt guilty for letting Jason down, she knew he was going to try and help her but after that message that was left from Benjamin it just felt pointless to her. However seeing him like this was something else, while she was glad to see him again it was like she was looking at another person. She knew Jason had a secret past but she always felt he would tell her about it when he was ready like she did with him. She didn't expect this though.

Jason had stopped slamming Benjamin's head against the wall and tossed him to the ground as he then kicked him. Benjamin just lifted his head up slowly as he looked at Jason. "You took away everything from me and now you're doing it again. I don't deserve this." He muttered out as Jason let out a small growl.

"Don't deserve this? You seem to forget this is Hell. You're getting exactly what you deserve and more." Jason stated as he pulled Benjamin up onto his feet and took out a knife. "You were about to rape the girl you killed-"

"I didn't kill her! She killed herself!" Benjamin interrupted.

"Which you basically set up by leaving that message on her machine letting her know you planned on raping her again and there wasn't anything she could do about it! You made her feel like it wasn't worth living anymore which caused her to end her life and when she killed herself you paid the police to remove the message you left on her machine! To me that's murder and seeing go after her again makes me want to hurt you even more." Jason then stabbed Benjamin in the stomach repeatedly and then stopped. "I seem to remember killing you by chopping off your manhood and shoving it down your throat while I then kicked you out of your penthouse window making sure your body landed in a dumpster I had place underneath it. I think I'm going to repeat it but add a little something extra."

"You can't die in Hell unless it's by an Exterminator Angel!" Benjamin cried out as Jason lowered his knife down to where his crouch was.

"That's true, you would usually reform after a couple of hours." Jason stated as he then added. "However there is one thing about reforming."

"What's that?" Benjamin asked.

"It's painful as hell. Pun intended." Jason answered as he on a quick flash cut off Benjamin's manhood and shoved it down his throat. As Benjamin began choking on his manhood, Jason then pulled out a grenade and grabbed Benjamin by the throat. "Don't worry, I'll be sure to help you clear your throat but I want you to remember something. If you ever come after Vaggie again I'll make you wish it was Extermination Day." Jason then pulled out the grenade pin and quickly shove the grenade down Benjamin's throat then immediately threw him in a nearby dumpster closing the lid while telling Vaggie to run as he ran as well. After a few seconds the dumpster exploded with Benjamin splattering all over the alley, of course Jason and Vaggie were far enough away from him. "Are you okay?" Jason asked as he checked Vaggie.

"I'm fine, Jason." She replied as Jason just froze.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm the Red Hood." Jason responded as he tried to figure out how Vaggie knew it was him.

Vaggie who just shook her head looked at him. "Jason, just stop. I know it's you, besides even I know every hero has a secret identity. I just didn't expect you to be the Red Hood. Now take off that mask." She said.

Jason knowing there was no point denying it decided to oblige as he took off his mask. Vaggie just stared at him surprised that he had a humanoid demon appearance. "How did you know it was me?" He asked.

"We've spent a lot of time together when we were both alive. I know your voice anywhere but more importantly you taught me to fight." Vaggie answered as Jason shook his head. "How long have you been dead?" She then asked.

"Two years." He replied.

"How did you die?" She asked as Jason just scratched his head.

"I really don't know." He answered. "I was getting ready to kill the Joker by plunging a knife into his heart but the next thing I know I'm in Hell with a knife wound in my chest right where my heart is. I have no idea how I could of been stabbed since I made sure he was unarmed and alone."

Vaggie just looked at Jason as he mentioned the Joker. Everyone knew how the Joker killed the second Robin and he was somehow brought back to live becoming the Red Hood in the process but to think that was Jason. She had no idea. She knew her life was tough but Jason's was something else altogether. "Where are you staying at?" She asked wanting to know how to keep in contact with her friend.

"I really don't have a place." Jason answered causing Vaggie to glare at him.

"What do you mean you don't have a place?!" She shouted causing him to flinch.

"Well I did until I decided to become the Red Hood down here after seeing several rapists and killers causing trouble down here. I decided that I should always keep on the move while preparing several hideouts to keep my weapons at and taking whatever jobs I come across that seem decent." Jason answered as he pulled out his bag of weapon he had stashed nearby and began putting his equipment up while Vaggie look at it.

"And what's in the bag?" She asked.

"Some of my weapons. I always make sure to carry a bag with me just in case I come across trouble." He answered.

"So where are you going to stay at tonight?" She then asked.

"Don't know but I think a hideout that's far away from here."

Vaggie shook her head hearing that. There was no way she was going to let him go off to where he could find more trouble. He was her friend and while she could see he didn't want redemption there was no way she was going to let him go. Not until she cleared a few things up with him. She knew she could get Charlie to agree to let him stay at the hotel, heck she told Charlie so much about Jason from when she was alive she had a good feeling she would want to meet him. Giving a look of determination she grabbed Jason's arm. "Yeah, that's not going to happen. You're coming with me Jason and don't try fighting me on this." She told him as he begin dragging him with her.

"Vaggie, it's alright. I'll be okay." Jason said only to shut up from the glare Vaggie gave him. Jason just gave a sigh of defeat as he began to wonder where Vaggie was living at not knowing he was going to be in for a big surprise.
