The teen stumbled along the alleyway, his face badly bruised and littered with nasty cuts and gashes where the crowbar had struck him. The burns from the explosion had somehow healed, but his body was still battered and broken, just as the clown had left it.

But the pain was dull to him, distant, a mere nuisance, like the faraway sound of rain during a long, boring movie. He felt no fear. No despair. No sadness. Nothing.

Just...nothing.

He wasn't sure where he was going, what he was doing, or anything, really. All he did was walk, unaware of where to, or where from. His mind was numb, and his body simply moved. Dirt still clung to his hair, his clothes, his fingernails still split and bleeding from clawing his way out of his coffin. Not that he had any awareness that he'd been dead, or buried.

A scream rang out further down the alley, and his reflexes kicked in. He was on the mugger in a second, the knife knocked from the attacker's hand, clattering against the concrete. Another second and the mugger was unconscious on the ground, blood oozing from his lips. He looked at the man, and the trembling girl cowering in the corner, turned, and kept walking.

Finally, as thunder echoed in the distance and the first few drops of rain fell from the dark, cloudy sky, he reached a door. Why he'd come here, he didn't know. What to do, he didn't know either. He took a step forward, stumbled, and crashed hard onto the wooden surface, collapsing to the ground. Blood dripped from his nose as he rolled onto his back, his dazed blue eyes staring blankly up at the storm clouds.

Names echoed faintly in the recesses of his hazy mind. Whose? He wasn't sure. Bruce. Sheila. Alfred. Robin. Dіck. Jason. {{user}}.

He heard the door creak open behind him, but didn't move. He had no energy to. Jason simply stared up, unblinking, his thoughts a blur and his body spent.
