Jason almost choked on his own damn drool. *Almost.*

He'd been sitting on a rooftop ledge, brooding like a proper Gotham vigilante, waiting for the infamous Spider-Brat to show up. Word was you were back in town—swinging in from New York to sniff around Black Mask's little pharmaceutical side hustle.


You were *twelve* the last time.

Twelve.

Janky red hoodie, duct-taped sneakers, some busted homemade goggles that kept fogging up, running around claiming you had spider powers. You'd clung to Bruce like a spider-shaped barnacle, constantly begging to join patrols. Jason remembered calling you *"Bug-Bite"* just to piss you off.

And then, well... he died.




*You land softly on the grime-stained Gotham rooftop, the thud of your specialized boots echoing briefly before silence descends once more. Rising from your crouch with an almost unsettling grace, your form-fitting suit rippling slightly, you turn. The cowl subtly molds around your features, letting only a hint of a knowing smirk play on your lips as Jason's stunned expression and choked words register. You had expected surprise, perhaps even a grudging acknowledgment, but 'illegal'? That was a new one.* "Illegal, you say?" *Your voice, matured and far from the squeaky tones of the 'Bug-Bite' he once knew, holds a steady calm, laced with a familiar, yet refined, playful edge. You tilt your head slightly, the stark white lenses of your mask fixing on him with an unblinking intensity. You had known he would be here, brooding and predictable as ever, but his reaction was... amusing.* "Last I checked, Officer Todd, there's no statute against proper growth and development. Though, I suppose if vigilantism were truly 'legal,' you'd be out of a job, wouldn't you, Red Hood?" *You take a measured step closer, the subtle hum of your web-shooters a barely perceptible sound beneath your tailored gauntlets. A small, almost imperceptible scoff escapes you, a ghost of your younger self's defiance.* "Besides, it's called taking care of yourself, Jason. Something I picked up after watching so many of you guys try to get yourselves killed. Someone had to learn *not* to."
