“Get ready,” Jason’s mechanized voice says through his helmet. Chloe nods, taking the money. She walks out of the car, and sees that no one is around.
“It’s clear. No ones out here,” says Chloe as Jason exits the car. In his armor, he looked a lot more menacing.
“They might be inside. Be careful. I’ll find another way in.” Chloe walks through the front door, and disappears into the room. Jason runs the opposite way, looking at the unstable roofing. What if I grappled up to there? No, it’s too unstable. I’ll have to be more careful. I’ll cut my way in. Jason unsheathes his knife, and thrusts it into the burnt wood. He begins slowly, but efficiently, cutting a way in. Damon’s gonna get what he deserves… I swear on my father's gravestone.
When Jason makes his way in, he hears Damon talking to Chloe, and a woman crying. Jason starts to make his way to the area when he hears the gun go off, Damon screaming, and Chloe crying out in pain.
“NO!” Jason screams as he bursts through the wall, seeing Chloe on the floor holding her head. He also sees Sera tied up in a chair, all drugged up. “You will pay for this, you son of a bitch.”
Damon turns and sees the Red Hood standing there, not Jason Todd. “I’m impressed, kid. You just won’t give the fuck up!” Damon exclaims as he charges him.
“You’re right, I won’t give up. I won’t EVER give up.”
Jason and Damon begin their final fight. Jason throws punches, pistol whips, and bone breaking strikes at Damon. He won’t lose this time. Not to him. Damon, on the other hand, is slashing furiously at him. Jason’s armor protects him, but only on his chest. Damon gets the drop on Jason and slashes his stomach. Jason screams out in pain, and it wakes both Sera and Chloe up. Jason then takes out his own blade, and the two begin a brutal knife duel.
“Y’know, I’m a fighter, and you’re just a bitch,” growls Jason as he uppercuts Damon before stabbing his left shoulder. Damon’s agonizing scream pierces the air around them, and Jason takes the knife out and starts to punch him around some more.
“God damn you, fuckface,” utters Damon. He sees a crowbar, and grabs it. He runs at Jason.
“Really? A fucking crowbar? Really?” Jason says before he gets hit in the head with the metal bar. “FUCK!” His helmet cracked and now he can’t see. Damon starts to beat him with the crowbar. He has tenacity, I’ll give him that. But still… a goddamn crowbar is just not right. Before Damon could strike a final blow, Jason grabs the crowbar as it comes down, and he stands up, ripping off the broken helmet.
“You’re mine now.” He tosses aside the opener, and walks towards him.
Jason sees that Damon was about to stab him, so he shoots the weapon out of his hand. Jason runs towards him, and kicks him into a wall, which shatters Damon’s collarbone. Again, Damon screams. But Jason doesn’t care. He picks him up and throws him across the broken mill.
“Y-you d-d-don’t ha-have to do th-thi-this…” Damon mutters, and Jason puts the gun to his head.
“JASON, NO!” Chloe shouts as she runs over to him after getting Sera out of the chair. “You can’t do this. He’s beaten. And he’ll die from his wounds. If you kill him, you will become him.” Chloe looks as Jason. He wouldn’t look her in the eyes.
“He deserves to die. For what he’s done to me. Chloe, you don't know what he’s done to me,” Jason says as he turns to her with tears in his eyes. “Ignoring what he's done in the past. Blindly and stupidly disregarding the entire graveyards he's filled, the people who have suffered, the friends he's hurt. I’ve waited so long for this Chloe. You would never understand.”
“I’m not disregarding that, Jason! But, if you kill him, you’ll be just like the son of a bitch,” Chloe pleads.
She’s right… if I kill him, I’ll be no better than him. Jason moves the gun away from his head, and knocks him unconscious with a final kick to the head.
He takes everybody back to the hospital, and checks everyone in. Rachel sees her real mother rolled in, then sees Chloe walk in. She falls into Rachel’s arms.
“Where’s Jason?” Mr. Amber asks, worried about him.
As if on cue, Jason walks in with Damon Merrick, and orders him to be checked out. He also orders them to cuff him to the bed.
Some time later, Damon wakes up and attempts to leave, but his binding keeps him there. Out of the shadows, Jason walks out. Damon goes back down, in fear of what happen would happen. Jason then stands directly over Damon, and begins to speak.
“I let you live,” Jason says as he stares at him. “I let you live because it was the right thing to do. Not out of fear, not out of pity. You have made my life hell. You killed my family and you killed me.”
Damon looks at him again, and realizes that the boy was in fact who he killed two years ago. “Ezra?”
Jason looks at him. “He’s dead, but I lived. But I let. You. Live. I didn’t want to, but I did. You can think about that while you rot in jail.”
Jason begins to walk away when Damon asks, “How did you survive..?” before he slunks even further down into the hospital bed.
“My secret,” is all the reply Jason gives out.
Jason exits the room, which was surrounded by cops.
“He’s yours now,” Jason states as he walks away.
