Now that the smoke's gone And the air is all clear

[ Written a around the margins of a sheet of paper is a poem. One Jay's quoted bit's off before in his Red Hood Persona. Something he felt Ed needed. ]

I have a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade,
When Spring comes back with rustling shade
And apple-blossoms fill the air—
I have a rendezvous with Death
When Spring brings back blue days and fair.

It may be he shall take my hand
And lead me into his dark land
And close my eyes and quench my breath—
It may be I shall pass him still.
I have a rendezvous with Death
On some scarred slope of battered hill,
When Spring comes round again this year
And the first meadow-flowers appear.

God knows ’twere better to be deep
Pillowed in silk and scented down,
Where love throbs out in blissful sleep,
Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath,
Where hushed awakenings are dear...
But I’ve a rendezvous with Death
At midnight in some flaming town,
When Spring trips north again this year,
And I to my pledged word am true,
I shall not fail that rendezvous.

Hey bro,

If you've found this, you've either gone through my shit, or I'm dead again. Either way, I'll kick your ass when I get back. Stay out of my shit if I'm alive. If I'm dead it's all yours. So, let's pretend that I'm dead. Also, thats a great song. Look it up one day, Pretend That Were Dead by L7. Anyway, back when mom died when I was a kid it was the hardest thing I ever had to deal with. I was alone in a rough town and I had to be a man while I was a kid. Then Bruce came along and I had to be a kid again, it was hard, all of it fucked me up pretty bad if I'm honest.

I've never really expected to live long, hell dying when I did was only a shock to Bruce. Old man Ra's said my return was a blight on the world. This time bomb in my head has been ticking down. I've been on borrowed time. So, it's time I admit a few things.

First off, I dont want to fuck anyone Ed... I fell for Hana back in the city. I fell hard, but I also told her to go date Shiro cause he was the better man, I couldn't even touch Loki or Roy if either of them had offered. I choose my fate. If I die well, just know it's my choice. Love is a horrible thing and I suffer for it every day. I was happy though, and I am still. You were all I had left and I'm a bastard for leaving you behind but, I'm ready to go back to where I belong.

Keep your nose clean, my man. And look to the sky and think of me sometimes. Don't make me come back and kick your ass.

Some kinda love
-Jay Todd

Oh and if I'm dead, my smokes are yours, use'em as currency.

character information
● name: Jason Todd
● canon: DC Rebirth
● canon point: Issue 10 of Red Hood and the Outlaws.
● age: 22-ish.

● (canon) background: Jason Todd at the DC Wikia || Jason's continued history for Earth prime
● (original) world:

● abilities: He is nearly super-humanly-enhanced by his dip in the Lazarus pit, healing super fast, no longer aging, and almost superhuman strength.

Since his death, Jason shows signs of being spiritually aware. From speaking to the dead leader of the All Caste, to being able to see and hear Essence, a living embodiment of darkness, when no one else does, often appearing to speak to himself to others while he is talking to those unseen.

Due to his life both before and after his Robin days, Jason Todd has both street smarts and a high-end education. In his own words, by 15 he was a walking CSI unit. He is proficient in most weapons, preferring guns and swords to most other options.

Another additional ability he has because of the All Caste is called the All-Blades. They are essentially magical swords he keeps hidden in a special slot at the side of his boot. They are normal swords until infused with his blood to work. They then become magical, and supposedly indestructible.

● strengths:
Morally Gray: Jason has the ability to do the things other people don't want to, with few exceptions. In general he doesn't care if people are caught in the crossfire as long as they aren't women and children. He is willing to do the wrong thing if it gets the right ending. He is very willing to kill to get a job done.

Quick Thinking/Learning: Growing up in Crime Alley, and then under the wing of Batman, The All Caste, and even the Al Ghul's helped him learn many many skills in a fast amount of time. Jason can pick up most skills after a few tries.

Jason has learned to think on his feet and make up his plans as he goes along. Sometimes life throws you a curve ball, and you don't have time to do more than wing it. His plans are not always the best, but usually work out.

Leadership: Despite the fact he doesn't see himself as a leader, he is usually put in a leadership role. Being made the heir of the All Caste, offered the leadership of the League of Assassins and running his own group, the Outlaws.


● weaknesses:
Morally Gray: While this is also listed as a strength, it is a double edged sword. Sometimes the things he sees as okay are far from it. This is why he is considered an outlaw. He will do whatever he feels is right even when its not. He doesn't feel bad for the things he does, even when others tell him how wrong they may be.

Temper: One thing between life, death and resurrection has remained true for Jason, his temper is his biggest flaw. When he gets mad nothing else matters, he will throw out months of planning and ruin a mission if his temper is pushed just to get at whoever set him off. His dip in the Lazarus Pit actually didn't help matters here, as Pit Madness, a known side effect, also pushed his rage. He was taken to receive special training to learn to tamper down his rage, by the All Caste. And even after 'graduating' their program he still has anger problems.

Family: His family has always been a big problem for Jason. Growing up with a petty criminal for a father and an addict for a mother he was doomed from the start. Despite often wishing his father would die, he still loved both of his parents. Losing both the way he did, only to have his mother turn out to not only be alive but to hand him over to the Joker, left him a bit messed up to say the least. When it comes to his adoptive family, well more the Bat family, he has issues with all of them and at the same time he cares deeply for them all as well. He is usually on uneasy footing with them but despite his better judgement he will always rush home if they need him.

● skills (optional): Literary nerd, weapons expert, trained fighter, mechanic skills.

So this is like face time? I mean I haven't used it much, but it's cool all the same. Anyway, I'm looking for information if anyone can help me. Besides the basic welcome package. The nitty-gritty stuff that no welcome package would admit to. I want to know what I need to expect.

[ He almost shut it off then, instead he looked away a second and then back.]

My name's Jason, by the way. If anyone out there listening knows me, let me know.

[ He didn't have high hopes, but he wanted to know who to watch out for.]
