Beauty and the Marksman Jason Todd x Reader

Chapter 6: Not Fun & Games

Y/n's POV

I continue walking down the streets of Gotham. After my talk with Tim, I don't mean to scare the kid. He just......needs to know that being a hero doesn't mean having to wear a costume or a mask, anyone could be a superhero.

But a being a hero like Bruce as Batman, that's different. We've all made sacrifices. That is what Jason did.

I miss him. Everyday.

I wish he was still with me, hugging me, kissing me. I miss his touch.

I was walking down the street and I see a diner just across the street. I looked at the diner and I realized that's the same diner Jason took me as our first date for us to get to know each other more.

I suddenly get like a little vision of me and Jason walking through the door of that diner. I could see us laughing as I playfully punched his arm. I could also see that we sat at the booth near the window and sharing a milkshake.

I smiled that memory as it now fade away. I let out a breath as I see someone standing beside me.

"Hello."

I turned my head and I see Dick standing beside me, smiling down at me.

"Hey, Grayson." I greeted him, looking back at the diner.

"Aw. Your looking at this one place." Dick sighed, knowing this place so well as I do.

"That Jason brought me here. As our first official date." I said, pursing my lips.

"You know, I remember when Jason actually came to me about you guys going on a dat-"

"He went to you? Jason Todd? The badass? Went to you?" I replied, raising an eyebrow at him.

"I know. Weird huh? Anyway, I actually told him take you somewhere, where you guys could get to know each other more, talk more, and maybe do a little bit of goofing around." Dick explained and he crossed his arms. "I guess this was the place."

"Yeah." I chuckled a bit. "We did had a great time that day."

"Yeah." Dick nodded, understanding how much Jason meant the world to me. "So, that new Robin?"

I scoffed as I started walking off but Dick ran in front of me.

"Y/n, listen-" I cut him off.

"No! He wasn't supposed to take his place! That's not fair and look where Jason is at because of that damn clown!" I yelled at Dick but he grabs my shoulders gently

"Y/n! Bruce has Tim for a reason! I don't like it too but I'm sure I will not treat him like crap either way!" Dick told me but I just shake my head and pushed his hands off of me.

"Do you not understand? If Tim dies while wearing that uniform and that mask, I'm sure as hell I will not be carrying his dead body and showing that to his parents!" I told Dick in anger.

"By what I was told, Tim is a bright kid. You just don't want to give him a chance at all."

"That's because I don't! You know this is not fun and games. If that is what Tim thinks by wearing a same damn cool costume every night, he's wrong! He'll be killed out there." I said, slowly softly.

Dick just looked at me and let's out a sigh.

"You're right. It's not. But Tim is not like those kids. He's special and I know it. Tomorrow is gonna be his first night to go on patrol with us. Give him a chance." Dick gives me a soft smile, patting my shoulder and walking off.

I looked back at Dick and I just pushed my hair back, turning away and walking to an opposite direction.

As I was walking, I suddenly bump into some guy in a dark hoodie and wearing sunglasses, making him drop his small duffle bag.

"Hey! Be careful!" I told him, picking up his duffle bag and handing it to him.

"Watch it where you're going sometimes then!"

What the hell?

That voice.....sounds kind of familiar.

I looked at him, he has a piece of his white streak of his hair in front and....he looked like.....No, no that can't be him.

He looks at me, nervously.

"Jason?"

He turns around completely and starts running quick.

"No!" I screamed, running after him.

Jason holds on tight of his duffle bag and continues running quick. I kept running, trying to keep up with him.

Jason turns the corner sharply, to an alley. I turned the corner and I see him stopping at the middle of the alley. I stopped running, just looking at him since he had his back towards me, breathing in and out.

"Jason! Is that you?" I panted.

Before I could walk towards him, he turns around, with a gun in his hands and starts shooting. I dodge the bullets, going behind the trash can and he jumps on the fire escape, climbing up with the duffle bag just behind his back.

I get up and I start climbing up the fire escape as well. He reaches the rooftop and runs off before I can and right when I make it up there, he was gone.

I looked around but he wasn't there. I slowly started panting from all the running, dodging, and climbing.

I don't know if it's true, but I think Jason Todd, my lover, is alive.
