I was in my old room in my apartment when I heard a knock on my bedroom door, frowning I walked over to open it. Two Face stood in front of me, grinning, dark red blood covering the suit he wore, a gun in his hand. I screamed in horror and fell back onto the ground only to feel myself land in something wet. I looked to see it was a puddle of warm, thick blood. And it was coming from the bullet wounds in my parent's chests who lay next to me.

"NO!" I yelled. "NO THEY CAN'T BE DEAD!" Tears flowed freely down my cheeks as I stared at the pale flesh of my mother and father.

I looked back to where Two face had stood only to see the Joker standing in his place, laughing maniacally. My eyes widened when I saw he held a crowbar in his hands. "You won't get away with this, the Red Hood will kill you." I said, trying to keep my voice from shaking. The Joker's grin only widened when I said this.

"How can Hoody help you when he's already dead?" giggled the Joker, gesturing over to Jason's limp body that now lay next to my parents.

"NO! PLEASE GOD NO!" I sobbed, lunging over to his body, trying to find a pulse in a vein attempt. I turned back to the Joker who currently stood over me.

"Now, now don't cry this is going to be fun….for me" He laughed and he swung the crowbar hard at me.

"STOP!" I screamed and sat up in my bed, gasping for air and tears were pouring down my cheeks. I was covered in sweat. The nightmare had felt all too real. "It was only a nightmare" I whispered to myself, trying to calm down. Jason slammed the door open so hard I thought it might break off it's hinged. He stood there, guns in his hands, searching for some intruder. He only wore boxer shorts, his perfectly sculpted chest was bare and I found it hard to tear my eyes away from it to look up at his face. His black hair was all messy from sleep but his blue eyes were awake and alert.

"What happened?" He demanded harshly, when he had decided there was no immediate danger he focused his attention on me. I shrunk back under his steady gaze which seemed to soften when he looked me over, noticing the tears.

"Nothing," I said timidly "It was just a-"

"Nightmare?" He guessed and I nodded, turning my face away, ashamed of how weak I appeared. He walked over to me and placed his guns on my bedside table and then sat on the bed next to me. "It happens to the best of us… there is no way of escaping the horrors we have seen without some internal damage," He sighed "I… I can't go a night without dreaming about waking up in that awful coffin in the ground… I felt so… scared and alone" His eyes looked distant and I could not imagine the fear he had felt, one of my biggest fears was being buried alive.

"What happened to you?" I whispered, Jason had not talked much about his past before, never had he opened up to me.

"To put it simply, I was a street kid who batman picked up and taught the ropes, then I got stupid, trusted those I shouldn't have and got myself killed. Next thing I know, I wake up in my own grave, Bruce had moved on and the bastard who had murdered me was still fucking alive. Bruce didn't even care about me enough to get vengeance." Jason's fists were clench and there was anger in his eyes but also a hint of sorrow. He would have felt so betrayed, so alone. I hesitated for a moment as silence filled the room, only the soft police sirens could be heard in the distance. Then the next thing I knew, I reached over and hugged him, his body became ridged but then softened and his arms wrapped around me.

Eventually I pulled back to look at him, "I'm with you no matter what." I said, his face was so close and his bright blue eyes which were looking directly into mine. Suddenly he kissed me, my eyes widened with surprise but I quickly relaxed, closing then and putting my arms around his neck. I kissed him deeply and pulled him closer. My heart was beating fast and I quickly forgot about my nightmare, my thoughts were only of Jason. He pulled back finally and a crooked smile spread across his face causing butterflies to flutter in my stomach.

"God you have no idea how long I've been waiting to do that." Jason said quietly and I gave a small smile, my hand was now placed on his bare chest, being close to him. I hadn't realised how much I wanted this until now. Jason made a move to stand up but I grabbed his arm and pulled him towards me.

"Not yet." I whispered to him and kissed him deeply again and I felt his hands grab the hem of my tank top and pull it over my head, I pushed him back on the bed so I lay on top of him. His hands moved to undo the bra I still had on and hadn't bothered to taken off when we heard a noise from the doorway.

We both stood up quickly, Jason grabbing his guns, cocking them and aiming them at the door but then sighed at put his arms down. "What the fuck guys, you have the worst timing in the world." I frowned and looked closely at the two people who stood in the door way. There stood a man with red hair and a quiver of arrows on his back next to an extremely beautiful woman who had long red hair and orange skin, her green eyes stared curiously at me, I felt exposed standing there in just a bra and cotton shorts.

"Care to introduce us." Asked the man, a smirk appeared on his face as he looked me over, I unconsciously moved my hand to cover a rather ugly scar on my stomach from my encounter with the Joker.

Jason sighed and tossed me my shirt which I quickly put on. "Violet, this is Roy and Kori…my ah…occasional teammates."

"So…it seems we've missed something while we've been away." Said Roy turning to Jason who then ushered them into the lounge.

I stood there a little disappointed and very confused; I quickly followed them out to the lounge to get answers.
