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

Season 1 Chapter 5: "Wildfire"

Jason's POV

Guilt and regret.

Those were the only things that I felt after last night's event.

After it all happened, I decided to isolate myself in my car, not talking to anyone as I drank from my flask of whiskey.

Everyone would try to get me to come out, including Daryl who felt obligated to help me after I helped Merle. Unfortunately for them, nothing got me out of the car.

I took a heavy swig of my whiskey as echos of my past filled my mind.

"I'm doing what you won't. I'm taking them out!"

I could hear the echos of gunshots in my mind as I could hear the faint laughter of that damn clown.

"That's the best joke I've ever heard!"

I grit my teeth in anger as I heard the voice of the same man who tormented me.

"Bruce, I forgive you for not saving me. But why on God's earth is he still alive?!"

The echos became more clear in my head as I could hear my own screams from the torment.

"If he'd have taken you from this world, I would have done NOTHING but search the planet, for this pathetic pile of evil death worshiping garbage!"

I gripped my steering wheel tightly as the echos of my tormented screams got louder.

"Stop... Please..."

"You won't kill me. You won't!"

"Do I look like Batman!"

"Admit it, son! Who's your daddy?!"

I couldn't take it anymore and lifted my head up, stumbling out of the car before I fell to the ground, groaning in pain as I saw some blurry figures rush over to me.

Me: "Ugh... Fuck my life..."

I sluggishly stood up as I brought my flask to my lips, taking an extra sip before putting the flask away.

3rd Person POV

Daryl, Rick, and Shane rushed over to Jason who stumbled around.

Shane: "Hey, Red, you okay?"

Jason looked up to reveal his red puffy eyes before he fell forwards but Daryl quickly caught him.

Daryl: "Easy there, brother."

Daryl sat the vigilante next to a tree while Rick and Shane spoke.

Shane: "This kid is really pushing himself just to protect us. Cynthiana going to shit must have really fucked with his mind."

Rick: "I don't blame him. Shane, how many criminals did he put in the hospital or morgue in one night just to protect the innocent?"

Shane: Shit, close to 45 maybe even 60 in one night. He took down Kentucky's biggest drug lord in one night with ease."

Rick: "Exactly. This kid has years of experience. He probably never even had a childhood because of this. It makes you think. What kind of hell did he go through?"

Daryl gave Jason some water to which Jason took, chugging it down and panting softly after he was done.

Daryl looked at Jason's eyes, seeing the dark circles which made him sigh.

Daryl: "When was the last time you slept properly, Red?"

The Red Hood looked at the ground in thought before he answered.
