Jason's plan was immaculate, but it left no room for error from its counterparts. It all started when he had gotten an urgent call from his brother Dick who had stated that he might have the perfect solution to all of Jason's ongoing troubles, and to come down to this random bar in Gotham city. Jason knew of course that the Joker had gotten news of his return from death, and had been scouring the ends of the earth trying to locate him. He had been desperate, so as reluctant as he was to go to that bar that night. He did – unenthusiastically of course and not after throwing in a few curse words his way.

It didn't take him too long to locate his brother when he got there. He had been expecting a wasted Dick, but nonetheless was wronged at the sight of him. He caught Dick hovering in the corner, eyes dead set on something - or rather someone. Following his line of sight he watched as a pathetic man, who looked exactly like Jason might I add, flirted with a girl only to spike her drink with a vile of white powder the moment she looked away. The closer he walked towards them the more confused he got. His resemblance to that piece of shit was truly uncanny. The cut of the jaw, shade of blue eyes, and even those marvelous thighs of his were spot on.

"If you know what's good for you douche bag, you'll tell her you've gotta leave and meet me out the back." He whispered to him burying the muzzle of his pistol into his lower back; evidently making his threat apparent.

"What the fuck are we supposed to do with him Dick?" Jason questioned already having an idea of what Dick had in mind.

"You know what." Dick muttered

"You're really insinuating that the Joker is gonna fall for this bullshit? And even if he does do you honestly think we can trust that piece of shit?" Jason stated pointing at the body they had drugged up and carried back to Dick's apartment now lying awkwardly on his couch.

"He looks exactly like you Jay! What have we got to lose if he finds out? It'll probably just buy us more time until we figure out what to do, and anyone's loyalty can be bought a few thousand bucks and he's all ours."

And thus a plan was born. To beat the Joker once and for all they needed an advantage. Time. Time to plan something huge. Jason's faked passing would give them all the time they needed to take him down. For the plan to work however certain rules had to be put in place: No one could know about this other than the two of them. Bruce on top of that list because if he had the slightest inkling of what they had been planning they could kiss all their plans goodbye. He wouldn't stand for murder not even to save his own son. Scarlet not knowing on the other hand had been a harder pill to swallow, but after arguing with Dick about it for days Jason knew Dick was right. Scarlet's reaction had to be genuine, and as much as it had pained him to lie to her on the daily he knew it had to be done. She couldn't know, for her safety of course.
