Summary
Tim didn’t know what to expect when Jason Todd found him on the brink of death, but he never imagined the line between savior and captor would dissolve into something so inescapable. Broken and stripped of his autonomy, Tim is forced to rely on the man who once inspired his dreams - before crushing them completely. Meanwhile, Jason's obsession deepens and their fragile dynamic spirals toward a breaking point, leaving both to grapple with the cost of survival and the scars they’ll carry long after.

Summary
There were very few things Jason hadn't seen, done, or experienced at some point in his life. He'd been a victim and a villain, a hero and a mindless weapon. He killed and had been killed, only to claw his way from the grave. He witnessed gods bleed and children topple empires.
Therefore, when Jason woke up disoriented and alone on an Earth without Gotham or the Justice League, where demons like him had never existed or been driven extinct long ago, he wasn't surprised. Stressed maybe, and beyond pissed, but the idea of a multiverse was old hat to him. He just had to maintain his accidental cover as an alien, keep SHIELD out of his business, fend off well-meaning but insufferably nosy Avengers, dodge amateur kidnapping attempts, and hunt down what or whoever took him from his home. Y'know. Simple things.
Meanwhile in Gotham, the Bats prepare for war.

Summary
Jason finally comes back to Gotham hell-bent on doing by Crime Alley right... make a permanent change that Bruce AND Batman just aren't doing. Establishing himself as The Red Hood, taking out the worst of the scum regardless of the bat's judgment, setting up programs and safe houses for alley kids and working men and women, as well as opening a restaurant center of the Alley with a free food program for those who couldn't afford to eat. He was making a difference. Of course that meant he needed more promised income. Getting his name out there as an event caterer wasn't hard. Make a few edible statues for big-wig galas, cater a few rich folk house parties, and soon enough everyone new to come to him for something or other. It was only a matter of time until the Wayne's decided to check him out. Jason had been expecting it eventually... what he wasn't expecting however was a job offer.
Even more confusing... why the hell did Jason agree?!

Some people said Gotham was hell on earth. They didn't know how right they were.
