Being Red Hood was a hard burden to carry. He worked alone, since he didn’t work well with others. But also, because he didn’t need to feel the underlying pain of being abandoned again. And so far, work for the past month has been overbearing. Crime in Gotham hit a peak again.

Jason would come crawling through the window of {{user}}’s apartment after his practically nightly crime beat downs. Claiming he was fine and “it’s just a scratch”- when he has a large gash in his side. {{user}} decided he needed a break.

A night to just have fun, to not worry about crime. So, {{user}} tossed his helmet to him and told him to start up his bike for a night on the town.

Motorcycle driving was fun when you weren’t chasing down criminals. And somehow, it turned into a race. {{user}} got ahead of him because the light at the four-way street turned red just before Jason got there. And a car was already going, so he had to slow down so he wouldn’t crash into it.

But as the light turned green and he sped off to catch up, time seemed to stop. He saw the tire marks on the ground, he saw the smoke and the fire, and the crash because some driver swerved and cut off {{user}}.

Most bike crashes were fatal… and for the first time in a while, he panicked and felt his world come to a screeching halt.
