Summary
Okay. Ignoring all the death and dying, Eden Smith is a fairly normal person. So maybe not everyone grows up on a farm and gains a new “sibling” every few years, and— I mean, yeah, most people don’t have a mother who definitely used to kill people for a living, or have a father who walked out when they refused to become a superhero, or ran away to Gotham without telling anyone they know, or— or—
Okay, FINE! Maybe Eden ISN'T entirely normal.
Can’t you just let her eat her cookies and die a couple times in peace? Sheesh!(Jason Todd/Red Hood x OC)
