He sees Mike, Tommy and Ephraim sleeping in a Queen size bed he wakes up Mike and says I'm sorry I'm late I was kidnapped. Mike sleepily says it's about time you got here are you alright? Who kidnapped you?. Jason said it's a long story Mikey how's she doin?, Mike sits up in bed as he slowly gets out of bed to not wake up Tommy or Ephraim walking up to Jason leading him into the semi empty hallway.

Mike curiously said where the hell have you been Jason we were worried sick about you. Jason said Billie didn't call you Detective Macaroni arrested me at my school and had me in an interrogation room with a polygraph strapped to my arm. Then some nut job in a jumpsuit came into the precinct and kidnapped me enough talking about me talk to me Mike how's my grandma?. As he stares at Mike with worry and a bit of fear in his eyes, Mike says She's not out of the woods yet but the doctors say it's up to her to wake up she's in a coma. Jason the bullet did a lot of damage to her brain. There's a poison in her brain that's spreading to the rest of her body, doctors can't get the bullet out they say it's too deep in her skull.

Jason sobs uncontrollably as he falls into Mike's arms he loses consciousness as fear grips his heart and brain. In a hospital Jason wakes up on the floor in his Mk 1 suit his eyes dart around the abandoned hallway as he slowly rises to his feet, he yells hello!!! Anyone there he sees his parents staring out the window at the end of the hallway. He says Mom,Dad! Running up to them hugging them only to phase through them like an apparition, Richard said you were never my son you were just some street rat I took in because I wanted the publicity. Jason said that's not true you loved me I am your son you're not real, Nicole says us love you? Honey he really is as crazy as he looks dressed up like a damn idiot who could ever love a stray kid like you. Richard said not real you think we're not real, as he throws several punches at Jason, Jay blocks some of them only to get hit in the face by a few of them sending him flying sliding across the tiled floor.

Jason coughs up blood, Richard says That real enough for you Jason as he lunges at Jason. Jay quickly dodges his punch only for Nicole to kick him in his mouth and then throw him into a tiled wall. As she spin kicks him in his face sending him smashing into a window he lands on the floor coughing up blood, loudly groaning in pain as he slowly rises to his feet Richard said some hero he couldn't even save us let alone save himself you let us die Son. Jason said NO! That's not true dad I tried to save you and mom I wasn't strong enough I'm sorry. As He blocks a kick from his mom before throwing her into the same tiled wall she threw him into earlier and punching her in the face 4 times knocking her out. Jason gets hit in the face with several swift punches by Richard, Jay quickly leg sweeps His father then pins him to the ground wrapping his left arm in his thighs. Jason said I don't want to hurt you Dad I'm done fighting, Richard said I know and that's the problem as he knees Jason in the side of his head. Then he quickly body slams him onto the floor as he punches his son's face into the floor smearing the walls with his blood,

Jason punches Richard in his throat then stabs his father through his eye with a pen. As he slowly gets to his feet panting and breathing heavily. He sees someone wearing a red hoodie standing a few feet away from him he says Hey! It's not safe here hoss you gotta go, get somewhere safe as he walks up to the person grabbing them on their shoulder. As he turns them around to stare at his 10 year old self, he says that's impossible. As his 10 year old self grabs his hand and flips him over his shoulder kneeing him in the neck knocking him out cold.

Jason's eyes quickly open as he gasps out of unconsciousness looking around him to find himself in the Wolf Den. 10 year old Jason's voice says You fucked up, you fucked up everything! Red Wolf was supposed to fix it. Fix us but you ruined it as 15 year old Jason gets hit in the back by daggers bringing him to his knees, he gets hit in his face by an Escrima stick knocking him to the floor as he spits up blood. He gets hit in the face several times as his younger self stands in front of him holding a blood soaked bo-staff. 10 year old Jason said you took the red wolf and twisted it turned it into vengeance instead of Justice you ruined us ruined being a hero, Jason pleadingly said Barry wait... wait I'm sorry I lost sight of that you're right I lost my way and I don't know how to get back. 10 year old Jason says It's too late for redemption you've made your choice, as he taps the Bo staff transforming it into a 38 revolver quickly unlatching the safety. 15 year old Jason said do it, as he closes his eyes hearing several gunshots but feeling nothing.
