Remember Me (Jason Todd x reader)

chapter 2- The moment

I've been in Wayne manor for almost a week and let's say that it wasn't as peaceful as I had hoped. I was exposed to Bruce's world or should i say, batman's world. After meeting Jason, a spark of annoyance and competitiveness started to spread in both of us.

"Come on (y/n)! It's not that hard to do a roundhouse kick! Even I can do it!"

"Jason! How can you not know how to divide?! You're in third grade for crying out loud!"

Everytime we talk it always ended up in an arguement. But I had never felt like this in my entire life, suddenly I had the freedom to voice out my opinions without asking permission. I could go anywhere I like, do anything I want to do. But sometimes I felt empty..my parents gone and being adopted by Bruce, I didn't know who I was anymore. Am I a (y/n)? Someone who is polite and proper, always pretending to be happy? Or am I a Wayne? Someone who could help batman easily hack into a super secure facility, yet not seem to fit in? I didn't know how to think. To be honest I suck at this new superhero thing. I can't keep up in training to protect myself. And Jason was always yelling at me and being stuck up. I felt like I didn't belong in this weird family.

Sometimes I'll climb up to the roof to collect my thoughts. For a young girl who's only 9, I think I'm wasting my life away, never having a moment to have some fun and enjoy childhood, always thinking my head off.

"What are you doing here?" A rather irritating voice asked. I groaned and turned to face Jason.

"Am I not allowed to be alone?" I snapped back.

Jason scoffed and took a seat next to me. "I never said that." After that, an awkward silence followed next.

"Sooo....Alfred told me that I was being too mean to you and sent me to apologize to you." Jason said.

"Wow you're doing a great job so far." I sarcastically replied.

"But you know. I am sorry." Jason mumbled.

I looked at him. "What did you just say?"

"I said I'm sorry." Jason looked at me in the eyes. "I've been pretty mean to you came, I didn't like the thought of living with a girl. I heard about your family and you were still recovering from the accident, since we both are in the same situation, I should have been more sensitive. So sorry." Jason looked away embarrassed.

I was too stunned for words. After processing what he said, I started laughing out loud.

"H-hey! This is not funny!" Jason yelled.

I wiped the tears from my eyes. "I'm sorry, it's just that it's funny to see you flustered like that. It's priceless." Jason growled in frustration.

"But I like it. You're not a bad person Jason. All you need to do Is a little less judging and little more patient." I smiled and held up my hand. "I propose a truce."

Jason looked at my warily and shook my hand. "You got a truce. Let's start over. Hi I'm Jason Todd."

"And I'm Duchess Lettucehead." I joked.

"Oi you're not taking this seriously!" Jason snapped.

"Well you better get used to it cos this is how I'll be." I said as a matter of factly.

Another awkward silence.

"I guess this means we're friends now." Jason said.

"Yeah I guess. Are we best friends or regular friends?" I asked.

"I guess we can be best friends...as long as you don't make me flower chains or braid my hair." He said.

"I can't make any promises..best friend." I gave another hearty laugh.

This was one of my favourite memories growing up. The moment where we made peace and became the bestest of friends.
