(ON HOLD)Vigilante In A New World(Jason ToddXThe Walking Dead Fanfic)

Before the Outbreak: Chapter 1: Back in Business

3rd Person POV

It's been about a month and Jason had managed to establish himself a home with a garage after going around and cracking the skulls of criminals and taking what money they had. Of course, Jason would call the cops on the criminal's phones to keep himself from getting tracked down by police so the authorities would arrest the thugs.

Jason enjoyed killing criminals but the petty low level thugs showed very little threat in his opinion and could easily be warded off by normal civilians which Jason was glad about.

The Red Hood himself could be seen in his home relaxing on the couch while staring at the ceiling.

Jason: "I'm sorry I failed you, Bruce. But, I'll do better in this life. I'll only kill criminals who deserve it, such as rapists, pedophiles, and drug lords."

Jason then looked at the time and narrowed his eyes.

9:30pm.

The time Jason always begins his rounds of the town to make sure no criminals were causing trouble.

Jason quickly slipped on his suit and made his way outside through the upstairs window, using the Bat-claw to get onto a rooftop before running along.

*Timeskip*

Jason made it to a rather quiet area when he saw a woman with long brown hair walking along the sidewalk.

Jason kept an eye on the woman as she passed by an alleyway where 5 men were standing around.

Red Hood then watched as the men surrounded her, clearly trying to get into her pants.

Thug(1): "Hey, sweetheart! Any chance me and my boys can get a piece of that ass?"

Woman: "Fuck off, you creeps."

Thug(2): "The fuck did you say, you dumb whore?!"

The one thug grabbed her to which she struggled to get away. Jason had enough and stood up.

Jason: "Really, guys? Picking on a defenseless woman? How low can you pathetic bastards fall?"

The thugs looked up as Red Hood held his dual pistols.

Thug(3): "You got a death wish, buddy?! There's other ways to kill yourself, you know!"

Jason: "Yeah, like yelling at the man holding two loaded pistols with enough ammo for each of you punks."

The thugs looked at eachother before smirking, taking out switchblades.

Thug(4): "There's five of us and only one of you, pal!"

Jason sighed and jumped down onto the ground, holding up his one pistol and shooting one of the guys in the head, instantly killing him.

Jason: "Make that four."

One of the thug yelled in anger and charged at Red Hood who could only smirk before swiftly breaking the arm the thug was holding the switchblade in.

The thug screamed in pain before his neck was swiftly broken by a hard kick to the jaw from Jason.

Jason: "Then, there were three."

The thugs were shocked while the woman was a bit frightened by her situation.

Thug(3): "I'll kill you!"

The thug charged in with another but Red Hood simply smashed their heads together before slamming their heads into the pavement, causing blood to squirt out and cover the ground.

The woman could do nothing but watch as her saviour easily killed the thugs.

The last thug shook in fear but grabbed a crowbar to defend himself.

This made Jason remember himself being brutally beaten by Joker with a crowbar which made him growl in anger before charging at the thug who exclaimed in fear as Red Hood broke both of his arms and started to continuously beat the thug's face in until it was unrecognizable.

Jason panted as he calmed down, looking at his hands before he quickly got his shit together.

Jason: "Good riddance."

Red Hood then stood up and looked to the woman who could only stare in shock.

Jason: "Hey, sorry you had to see that. You okay?"

The woman nodded, not saying a word.

Jason: "Okay, that's good. Just call the police and everything will be fine. I'm just going to swipe whatever money these bastards got on them and be get going.

Jason proceeded to raid the pockets of the thugs for any money they had before putting it all in his jacket pockets.

Woman: "Why did you kill them?"

Jason looked at the woman before crossing his arms.

Jason: "They would have gone back to what they usually do for crime after getting out of jail, so I cut the root of the problem."

The woman was surprised by Jason's logic but seemed to understand. Just as Red Hood was about to leave, the woman spoke once more.

Woman: "Thank you. But, who are you?"

Jason Turned to her and smiled under his mask.

Jason: "The name's Red Hood. Remember that name while you take a late night walk. I'm keeping an eye on the streets to keep people safe, so don't be afraid anymore."

Jason then zipped away via his Bat-claw, running along the rooftops as he heard police sirens approaching the woman's location.

Red Hood stopped at the top of a church, hanging off the railing with his helmet off and hood up while looking down at his new home town.

Jason: "I should take the advice on the note. Whatever's coming is worse than thugs and criminals. Unfortunately, I don't have a clue about what it is..."

Jason then jumped from his position and slipped his helmet back on before he swung away on his Bat-claw, once again scouting around for any thug and criminals around town.
