“Oh god, there’s another one…. Wait, abort mission! ABORT MISSION! I JUST SAW THAT THING STAB SOMEONE IN THE EYE!!!”

“No thank you, I ain’t touching that thing with a ten foot pole. That one’s Hood’s, haven’t you heard?”

“Are you crazy? That ain’t Robin. It’s the other one. I swear one of mine saw him wave at the Bat with a severed arm the other day…”

“If it’s traffic light colors, proceed. If you see red, blue and gold, fuckin run.”

“I don’t care if it’s just the brat. Where he is, Hood ain’t far behind.”

“Nah, that one don’t belong to the Bat. He’s Red Hood’s kid. The brat won’t kill ya, but he sure will.”

Oh geez, I think he’d go nuclear. Like, full out Robin King insanity for a hot second.

It’s going to become more apparent the further we progress through the story, but Jason really managed to establish himself as mini!Bruce’s parental figure during the time he spent in that alternate dimension, and a lot of the trust and love between them was established because Jason proved time and time again that he’s a capable fighter. Someone who’s not going down easily (the way his parents did). Someone who won’t ever leave Bruce behind if he can help it.

So, watching an older version of himself seemingly kill the only family he had left? In such a brutal fashion?

Yeah, you can bet this is the one time mini Bruce would go in for the kill… against himself.

So to answer your question , no i did not kill that guy.

Batman:...

Red hood :(trying not to laugh)

Lmaooo yeah that characterization is pretty much on point.

MockingJay : I kniw somthing you dont ~ i know somthing you'll never know~

MockingJay: (screams at the top of his lungs immatating Jasons voice) Fuck off Dickwing!

MockingJay to Nightwing: you couldnt even save robin what makes you think you can "save" me?

MockingJay to batman: OH MY GOD YOUR SO BORING!! this is why jason left you.

Meanwhile Red Hood : if anyone hurts him ill make Robins death look like a mercy kill compared to what ill do to them .

Lmao I can’t WAIT to debut Mockingjay. I’m itching to get back to Antithesis of Magic so hard and I love you for sending your thoughts on these because they’re so, SO good and absolutely something mini Bruce would say because he has the Sass gene AND Jason Peter Todd as a role model which — rip 🪦 batfam. Rip.

Bruce frowns, “Just like that?“

“Just like that,“ Jason affirms, “As long as you promise me to give it a try.“

Bruce fiddles with the string of pearls tucked into the right pocket of his blazer. “But if I call you’ll pick me up?“

Jason sighs and a second later there’s a hand gently ruffling Bruce’s hair. Not that it matters. Apparently part of his ‘disguise’ are subpar hairstyles and non-tailored suits. Bruce just knows mom would gasp if she— well. Bruce thinks he looks stupid attending school like this, is all.

“Yes. I promise.“

The entrance looks like a gigantic maw, swallowing unsuspecting victim after victim. Everyone so eager to follow through on their own slaughter. Bruce wonders what it says about him that he’d rather face down several thugs than leave the car and submit himself to this torture chamber the government calls an “educational institution“.

“Fine,“ he grouses, releasing the seatbelt with a little more force than necessary, “I’ll see you at lunch.“

He does. All the time.

He uses it when he has to assert bedtime, when Bruce needs to do his homework, when he’s being a little brat….

Ooooooo I love this design!!! It reminds me a little of the Court of Owls, which I’m a huge sucker for, so. Double the amount of joy 💚💚💚💚💚💚

Yup! That is a very accurate depiction of what would happen. Mini Bruce also totally sleeps in Jason’s bed sometimes after a bad nightmare, or when Jason takes longer than usual to get back from patrol. 🥺

Jason is a huge anchor point for Bruce’s emotional wellbeing and he has already made much more progress in recovering from his parents’ death than Og!Bruce did in a decade.
