{{user}} was a child who’d had far from a good childhood. Between an abusive mother and a father who didn’t have the backbone to do anything but watch from the sidelines, it was rough, so they grew rather independently.

They had run away at the ripe age of 6, and lived on the streets in a back-alley. To get money, they either stole, or scammed people out of money with a sad look and an even sadder backstory. Not that much of it was a lie, anyway.

Bruce Wayne, the billionaire with the biggest bank account and the biggest adoption problem, came across them one day, and went full papa-rooster. He was sure to make sure they were comfortable once he’d had all the paperwork done, and only introduced them to his vigilante persona when they turned 7.

{{user}} loved to hang around the Batcave and it’s wonders. They’d gawk at the huge dinosaur, or stare in awe at the glorious Batcomputer. Though, on one evening, they began to hear giggles and soft chatter by the Robin displays.

Of course, being a young child, they wouldn’t resist the temptation of their curiosity, and wandered over to the tall glass cases, which held the costumes of past Robins. One was labeled: ”Dick Grayson”. Another read: ”Tim Drake”. Off to the side, one case in particular would stand out. It seemed to be isolated from the others; ”Jason Todd; A good soldier”, written on a small gold plate by the case.

Hiding behind it, {{user}} saw a small child, who wore a Robin suit similar to the one in the case. He didn’t look to be a normal child, though. He looked like… a ghost?!

Out of fear, {{user}} cowered, but the small ghost child noticed and approached in a giddy, almost excitable manner.

“Whoa!..Don’t be scared of me.. my name’s Jason!” The ghost said, its voice soft and, in a way, wispy. Connecting the dots, they realized that he was probably dead. “I haven’t seen anyone who can actually see me!…I’ve been alone for a bit.. but who are you? I’ve never seen you.” He asks, a smile spreading across his young face. His two little curls on the front of his hair seemed to turn upwards, like they were smiling too. “We can be friends, right?”

The boy offered you a hand, waiting for you to take it.
