Jason yawned as he woke up. He looked out the window to show it was night. At first he was confused but then remembered the previous day. One of the sides of his mouth curled up to form a kind of smirk. He got up and headed to the cave. He had a lot to do.

When he got there he immediately put on the suit. He grabbed the belt and latched it on to his waist. Then he went over to his garage and rubbed his hands. This was going to be good. He pushed a hidden button on the wall. A platform with a black motorcycle raised through the floor. Jason walked over and put a hand on one of the handles. After his resurrection he liked to fix and build things. Being a mechanic really helped while being both Red x and Red Hood.

He snorted as he thought about how he called it the 'death cycle' when he was younger.

He jumped on and headed out to stalk his new prey.

LATER THAT NIGHT

Jason yawned as he watched the criminals move inside the warehouse. He had been staking out the warehouse for the thing he needed. It was being moved tomorrow night there.

He quietly creeped away and stood up. He climbed the ladder on the side of the warehouse and headed for his motorcycle. The motorcycle's engine started and he raced away from the docks into the city. He was careful thought to keep watch for bats in fear of being followed.

As he turned another corner he heard a scream a block away. Despite his mind telling him that helping might bring unwanted attention to him, his instincts took over and he drove the way of the scream.

He parked the cycle quickly and looked down the alley.

A man was holding a knife, pointed at a clearly afraid out of her mind woman. He shouted at her to give him her purse. When he took another step foot forward, causing the woman to push against the wall with pure fear, Jason stepped in.

He ran down and was sure to make a sound. When the man turned around Jason's fist collided with his face. Jason immediately knocked him to the ground with a hard punch to the gut. Red x then grabbed his hand and took the knife, throwing it away somewhere down the alley. With a smirk, he quickly twisted the man's wrist. Hard. The man yelped in pain and cradled his now broken wrist. Jason just growled at him.

"So, you think harassing poor woman is smart, huh?" Red x asked, his voice changer making him sound more scary.

"No! No! I'm sorry! I thought with Red hood being go-"

Before the man could finish Jason interrupted him. "Yeah well listen here. You better tell all your criminal friends that I will be filling in for Red hood. But know, that I'm just brutal as him and tell them to be afraid of the Red x," Jason growled at him. The man nodded to him. Jason rolled his eyes.

"Get lost." Jason said and the man promptly got up and held his still broken wrist and ran down the alley, his tail between his legs. Jason mentally laughed at the thought. He then turned around to the woman, who was leaning against the wall warily. He shrugged. He couldn't blame her. Leaving your guard down in crime alley was one of the biggest mistakes you could make.

He offered her his hand. After a minute she took it and stood up straight. She gave him a silent nod and whispered "Thank you."

He nodded. He turned around but then gave one look back to her. "Hey lady, tell everyone here the same thing about me filling in for Red hood, okay?"

Before she could even nod, he jumped again onto his vehicle and raced home, feeling satisfied.

When he finally got home and stopped his motor, Jason realized the declaration he just made. He groaned and put his head in his hands. He was planning on staying low but now realized that he would have to patrol the area. And that definitely gave the bats the chance to see him.

He distracted himself by walking over to the computer. As he was about to put the plans for tomorrow, for both patrol and the warehouse, he noticed an email from Batman.

s***.

Jason took a deep breath and opened it. It read-

Jason,

In your side of town apparently kryptonite was stolen from Lex Luther. I need to know if you have any knowledge about this.

Bruce

Honestly, Jason was confused. Bruce rarely emailed. But after that he acknowledged what the email said. He then cursed every cuss word he knew.

He should have known. Nothing escapes the Batman. Always has to know about everything. Jason banged his head on the table and thought about it. After a few minutes he decided to do what he usually did with Bruce when he was tired. Ignore him.

Jason went off to shower. When he got out though he noticed he only had one t shirt and sweatpants from Tim left. He groaned for what seemed the hundredth time that night. Looks like he was going shopping tomorrow.

Too tired anymore though he went to bed, very glad that he wouldn't have nightmares as bad since his death. He didn't know exactly why but he would take what he would get.

He passed out on the bed, reminiscent of the night that this all happened.
