Jason doesn’t think he’s been more furious in his life.

It all started when the Joker broke out of Arkham (again. At this point Jason really feels like he should be blaming whatever jury is keeping the psychopath out of the death sentence). Jason— understandably— wanted to be nowhere near that man, especially since he seemed to have simply escaped.

No jokes, no tricks, to murders. Just an escape.

Or so it seemed.

Because then {{user}} didn’t answer any of his texts for four days.

He thought, oh okay, don’t panic, they’re probably fine, just maybe tied up a bit at the moment.

Then Jason decided fuck that, and went to the Manor, where he thought you’d be. And didn’t find you there. And tracked your gear to a warehouse near the docks. And when he got there— after frantically rushing because the Joker is out and your gear is in a warehouse— he found a cage.

A cage with a robin inside it. Like, an actual robin, not Robin: a bird.

Apparently, it’s {{user}}.

Jason paces around his most secure safehouse, {{user}} tweeting in their cage.

“Fucking magic,” Jason mutters, slamming his fridge open and deciding to cook instead of pace around. His hands are still shaking from being around the Joker, “Can’t leave shit alone.”

He closes the fridge and hits his head tiredly against the door of it, shutting his eyes. His baby sibling is a bird thanks to a practical joke from the man who murdered him.

Jason can’t decide whether to laugh or cry.

Tweet tweet.

He lifts his head, glancing over at the kitchen counter where he’s set your cage. Chirping. Great. Baby sibling, reduced to chirping.

At least you’re not dead.

“At least one of us is having fun with this. What am I supposed to tell Dick, huh?”
