Summary
Fresh out of Arkham and done waiting for apologies that never come, Jason Todd leaves Gotham behind with nothing but a duffel bag and his motorcycle. He heads west—no destination, no plan—just the promise of silence and the hope that maybe, somewhere, he'll remember how to breathe again.
In Star City, he finds a small apartment and a fragile kind of peace. His neighbor is Roy Harper: single dad, hero, too charming for his own good. Roy doesn’t recognise him—doesn’t know Red Hood, doesn’t know Jason’s alive—and Jason isn’t ready to tell him.
But the road doesn’t end in Star City. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting, and love doesn’t erase the past. Jason still carries Gotham in his scars, and his name in someone else’s voice. Yet in quiet moments—over breakfast with Lian, in the hush between Roy’s laughter and his own—Jason starts to believe in something like home. Not the one he left behind, but the one he’s building now, one breath, one brick, one heartbeat at a time.
Because maybe Ithaca was never a city. Maybe it was a person. Maybe it was him, learning to stay.
