    Summary

    Updated 10/2025

    Jason Todd wakes up six feet under ground. Then he starts to remember how he got there. Jason escapes his coffin and remembers the words said in his fight with Bruce.

    "I'm not your father Jason, I don't need a teenage rebellion from you."

    Instead of searching out Bruce on his way out of the cemetery Jason wanders around Gotham in a catatonic-like state.

    Years later, and with help from Talia, he manages to get into med school and start his residency. Unfortunately for him the only place that he never wanted to return to is the one place that still has available spaces to take on the beginners... and Bruce Wayne was going to give a speech to the new residents in the hospital that very day.

    Summary

    Inspired by the movie "speak"

    Jason's emotional pain reaches a breaking point. Feeling unheard, unloved, and convinced of his own unlovability, Jason falls silent, speaking only when absolutely necessary. As he withdraws into himself, the Batfamily is forced to confront the depth of his emotional struggle. Will they notice the change in him, and can they intervene before Jason's silence becomes a permanent scream for help?

    The end? The readers decide👀

    *Trigger Warning: This story touches on themes of self-harm and suicide. Reader discretion is advised.*

    Summary

    Jason Todd grew up with a fundamental fear of being seen. Not in the sense of shyness, but in the sense of shame. He supposed, if he wished to contemplate the fear’s origins, he might start where most tragedies do:
    The house he grew up in.
    Where the act of wanting was as good as a death sentence to that desire.
    He supposed he might even make an argument for the statement “people become what they are called”. He thinks that might have some merit, looking back.
    What he fears most, (like most other people), is how obvious it is to others. The fear itself.
    He wonders if they can see it.

    or

    Thanks to a rogue meta, the batfam gets to watch Jason's memories like a movie; and Jason just really wants a family again. But you cannot be loved if you aren't known, and well... if circumstances provide? might as well take the chance, right?
