Summary
Dick wakes to a high-pitched whining noise, a noise of pain, coming from beside him. And he moves without thinking, rolling over towards the noise.
It's Jason -because of course it's Jason, Batman never made noise like that -a thin, pained sound filling the room. And Dick can't help but panic.

Summary
Thing is… he could go to the Cave and get patched up. Him and Bruce are currently in their 'on' phase of their 'on-again/off-again' of their relationship, and even if they weren't… Alfred would patch Jason back up, regardless of Bruce.
But while the option of the Cave is there… The reality is that Jason isn't stupid enough to take it. He knows what comes with Cave Care.

Summary
"Just stop killing, and… and you can come home, Hood."
And Jason can't help it. Can't stop himself. He laughs. Loud, and long, even when Bruce's whole body tenses up. Goes stiff, all trace of emotion and earnestness gone.

Will shows up to the hospital with flowers and chocolate, the night after Joey -who lives one apartment down from Sheila -tells him Sheila went to the hospital.

For Want of a Savior by VermilionFlame
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Batman: Arkham (Video Games)

Summary
This universe is completely different from his own; yet, in many respects, it's the same in the ways that matter. The Red Hood finds a broken bird in an abandoned wing of Arkham Asylum and rescues him. He doesn't expect for the bird to grow attached, or for him to do the same.
Basically, post-UtRH Jason gets punted into the Arkham-verse and, upon seeing Arkham Jason, goes "Is anyone gonna save him or am I gonna have to do it myself?" while completely disregarding the fact that he's a complete disaster himself.
