Hurts Like Hell Jason (Todd / Red Hood x oc)

Crime Lord...Red Hood

In the batcave, dick was getting ready once again to go out, he hasnt missed a night yet, he went out hoping to find ashley, somehow. Tim was on his seventh coffee in that sitting, he hadnt slept right the pass two weeks, only taking power naps here and there.

Alfred tried to take care of them, telling them if they didnt sort themselves out, then they wouldnt be able to help ashley. But even the wise butler couldnt stop them, he understood, their sister was missing. There hasnt even been a threat, any black mail, any communication from who took her... shes just gone.

No one really knew what was going on with bruce, he was obsessed with this red hood, researching him. It was getting on everyones nerves. But no one had the patients or time for what bruce is doing. But it still bugs dick, he said this might have something to do with ashley... that this guys been watching her "its pretty clear that he has something to do with ashleys kidnapping" dick growled towards bruce "are you forgetting? He said he didnt know where she was? Hes looking for her too" bruce snapped back without turning his head.

Dick let out a tut "are you seriously believing a crime lord?.... HES A FUCKING CRIMINAL!" bruce stood up straight and looked over his shoulder, towards dick. Raising your voice to the batman maybe wasnt the best idea "this 'criminal' could be of use in finding ashley. He cares for her. clearly, with his knowledge of the crimes around Gotham. He might hear something about her" bruce was interrupted by the alarm going off, they were needed somewhere.

Tim looked at where it was "holy shi- dick, its the same location... look" tim brought it up to the main computer screen. It was, the building next to the alley way where ashley passed out in "doesn't mean its her" bruce came up as he took over what tim was doing. Tim pushed back and got off the seat "ashley had that placed marked, she was found in that alley way... if we go there, we could find out why this place was so important" he explained, hoping to get through to his mentor somehow. When he received no words or was even looked at, tim faced towards dick "well I'm going, I at least want to know what ashley was looking into out there." with that final sentence, tim walked toward his motorbike, dick following close behind.

They left the cave without a fuss, bruce didnt even try to stop them at all. However, once they left, bruce let out a tiresome sigh, he was stressed, lack of sleep and he couldnt think right, he has been giving the boys the cold shoulder, well... more so now. See yes bruce seemed like he was more interested in this red hood than ashley, but that wasnt the case, he could see the body language of the crime lord, the way he spoke about her., the way his fists gripped when he relized they hadnt found her. He was close to her, he cared and was pissed at the fact bruce lost her.

So bruce knew this red hood had a bad attitude toward him but why? Luck for bruce, he caught the full in counter on camera, so now he could replay it all and analyse anything that may have gotten by him. Bruce placed in the chip from the camera, bring up the video from that date and time, turning up the sound and focusing on sertain spot around the red hood.

There was little to look at, the only part bruce seemed to be intersted in was at the end. Where he lost red hood because of the train. There was something red hood was saying before that train cut him off, it maybe have been nothing but bruce had to be sure. So he brought open the footage of that point, he could see the red hood on the tracks with him motorbike.

Bruce played the clip, he listen carefully "I'LL FIND HER... but I see you still haven't changed -" so he did hear him right, red hood spoke like he not only knew ashley.. but him too, but still... there was something at the end of the sentence.

Bruce rewind the clip, starting to readjust the sounds, trying to take the sound of the train out, or lower it enough to hear. It too a bit of editing before bruce finally had it right "Right hood, what were you saying?" he clicked play, holding his gaze to the video, right on red hood "I'LL FIND HER... but I see you still haven't changed bruce" wait... what.

Bruce stood up so fast, the chair fell back, something inside bruces mind clicked. It the small amount of information, everything seemed to fall in place now. Still, bruce could believe it, it was impossible!.

He looked to the side, eye still holding a shocked look, his eyes falling apon the glass casing, that held the second robin suit, untouched since that day, still holding the memories an tragedies of the past. Bruce knew it, but could believe it... "jason".
