Not His Blood, Still His Kid
Jason was just feeling okay. He no longer felt like bashing someone's skull in just because they annoyed him just a little too long. Then he found a kid with glowing green eyes that was freezing to the touch. Honestly, he didn't know what he was doing when he took them in. But God be damned if anyone thinks they're just going to take his baby and not see the end of a glowing hot gun barrel. (This is being copied over from my ao3 account, hope you enjoy it!)

Belong Here With Us (Wayne Family Adventures Fan-Fiction)
"That name's familiar, right, Mr. Wayne?" Gotham's vigilantes find a mysterious young woman. Unharmed but shaken. No reason for being there. No origin or trace. She drops a bombshell; she knows Batman's identity and she's just outraced death. Her refusal to trust the Batfamily and connection to a man, whose very moniker spells danger, brings tension. Walls must crumble for her old self to emerge from memories of demons-past and present-that even she's reluctant to acknowledge. She may also just be a kindred spirit; damaged. Love, family, loss-and romance-are universal. Mourning alone, far from home, is where no one deserves to be. What chased her to them? Unimaginable worlds exist outside your comfortable cities or worst nightmares... Once reached: (not important but tons of other stories do it) #1 in Batman #1 in Crime Syndicate #8 in PTSD #1 in Spoiler #1 in Oracle #3 in Justice League #4 in Alfred Pennyworth First draft.
