If Only It Had Been You (Red Hood x Reader)

((This is off the movie, Under the Red Hood so it isn't the comic. This is a hate to love oneshot. Warning: Some angst. ))

You and Jason never had gotten along when you two first met. You were Nightwing's new sidekick when you first met Jason and Jason just seemed to hate your guts, because you were also getting training from Batman too. You basically had everyone's attention and always seemed to be more important, well that was what Jason thought. He was fairly jealous when you came into the vigilante life and were getting double training, even though he was getting double training too.

The two of you, during sparring, would just give each other hell. There had been times that Bruce and Dick would have to tell you two to stop hitting each other as hard. There were even times that you two got into arguments over the smallest stuff, that didn't even matter. Like how he would get pissed that you were wearing the same band shirt, coincidentally. Since Dick took you both to that concert and you both got a shirt, the same shirt.

Insults and profanities were a common thing between the two of you. Verbal attacks were one of the few things you two could get away with, because you two ended up doing that when no one else was around. It was the easiest to do.

There was one thing that irked you though, and that was the fact that you had a crush on him. Despite how mean, rude, and vicious he was, you still liked him. Though he never seemed to return that feeling, ever. You did try showing him a little compassion at times, but he didn't want your pity. He would always tell you that he didn't need your help or want it and to stay out of his way. You never listened when he said those things to you.

But one day you did. You were telling him not to go anywhere, because you had the oddest feeling that something bad was going to happen that night. He grew pissed.

"Stop fucking telling me what to do. You aren't Batman and you aren't Nightwing. You are some stupid wanna be hero, but you never will be a hero. Just stay out of my way and let me do what I know is best." He told you. And you listened.

When you were told that he had died, by the Joker, you were mortified. You were angry that he didn't listen to you that night, you were angry at the joker for killing him, you were angry that Bruce wasn't there in time, but you were just a little angry at yourself for letting him leave.

The night when they captured the Joker, after the whole ordeal, you started punching the living hell out of the Joker. Dick and Bruce pried you off of him and to which the Joker just laughed. "Maybe it should have been you that I killed." He then barked out of laughter. The Joker should have been killed that night, despite Bruce and Dick telling you no.

****************************************

Three years later and you were still in the vigilante life. You actually surprised that yourself that you stayed in the business since Dick and Bruce said no to killing the Joker. You thought that was total bullshit, because of what all he did to so many people.... he deserved to be dead. He really did. It would be so much safer in Gotham and nothing would be as dangerous. No doubt, you had seen what the Joker had to done to many others, the ways he killed and so much more. You always imagined of what ways you might kill him, to avenge the people he had done wrong, but of course that was frowned upon. So you kept that to yourself.

You were going to stop a drug trade from happening and were doing so well. You had knocked out five out of seven men already. You were about to finish off the last two, until someone grabbed you and pressed a gun to your head.

"Easy now girlie." Said a husky male voice.

You looked up at source and he wore a red helmet. That was all you could really see right now other than the gun pointing to your head.
