Summary
The biggest question Tim has isn't how Jason knew he was in trouble or the mechanics of his rescue. No, his biggest question is why Jason keeps muttering literature passages under his breath.

It starts slow because if it hadn't started slow, it would've been noticed a lot sooner. Insomnia isn't uncommon for overworked vigilantes, but this is on an entirely new level of bad.

Summary
Waking up in a cage is one thing. Waking up in a cage and realizing your brothers are in their own cages is another. Oh, yeah, don't forget about the electrified restraints. That's just peachy.

Summary
The aftermath of a random alien invasion finds Jason in a bad spot. Like, really horrible, very bad. He's got an injured kid at his feet and a building not actively collapsing above them anymore - this is both a good thing and a bad thing. This is what he gets for actually playing nice with the Justice League for once.

Summary
High Society parties are standard affair, especially since Jason agreed to legally come back from the dead as the long-lost Wayne. He knows all the people attempting to schmooze him are no good, but this guy? This guy especially so. What's worst, is that he has the power to achieve his goals. No matter what.

Summary
You know, Jason doesn't have to risk bodily harm to protect the people he (pretends not to) love. But that's just not the Bat way and, unfortunately, once a Bat always a Bat.
(Otherwise known as: Jason takes a bullet for Tim and Damian and keeps quiet about it.)

superman broke my ribs and all I got was a lousy assassination attempt by mikkal

Summary
Six months. Six months of undercover work is what Superman and Wonder Woman just ruined. And that's not even half of it, because they don't know Jason is the Red Hood and they snatched up one of his accomplices. An accomplice who isn't undercover and very much hates Jason. Hates him enough to try and kill him.
Twice.

Summary
Normal is normal. The Outlaws are doing violence in the name of good things on an alien planet in the midst of a war. Jason is just one very unlucky bastard and gets to drown on top of all that. Kori is considering the merits of bubble wrap. Roy is pretty sure there is nowhere in the multiverse that is safe from Batman if something irreversible happens to Jason.

Summary
Jason is used to the pain – vigilante life isn’t easy on the body – so he’s well practiced in accommodating bad days. His first knocks-him-on-his-ass migraine though? Definitely not prepared for that.

Summary
He kneels to pick the lock, his hands steady and sure, and stays low as the door swings open slowly. The light cuts sharply into the darkness, illuminating the entry way. Batman doesn’t hold his breath as he pushes it open further, shining the light on the far wall.
Robin grins at him with bloody teeth. “You here to break me out?” he asks hoarsely. “Really pushin’ it, B.”
Two similar instances of Bruce rescuing Jason.

Summary
[...] he tries to tilt his head to see what’s going on only – fuck, it’s a grinding, slicing pain all at once. His eyes flicker and he can just barely make out one arm – and he stares in horror, automatically trying to lift his head to see it better and, and, fuck, no that continues to be a bad idea.
Wire wraps around his wrists, twists up his forearm just under his elbow. Thin, deadly. Pinning his arm to the table so tightly it’s cutting into his skin. Natural tan is inflamed red, swollen, oozing fresh blood. It doesn’t take much to figure out that’s the case with his other arm and [...]–
The garrote in the beginning is what we call foreshadowing.

Summary
Damian snarls, hits a button on the hilt of his sword. It lights up with its own electricity and, ah fuck, that’s not fair. He presses in close, and Jason throws up his arm, catching the blade on a notch in his armor and twisting so it slides across his jacket instead of biting into the meat of his forearm.
“Father was right about you, Todd,” Damian hisses – it’s the first time he’s spoken to Jason since, since – Jason flinches, he can’t help it. Furious tears make Damian’s eyes bright, shining in the light of the city. His expression is an expanse of cold, desperate fury and a muted, longing hope that maybe – . “You are irredeemable. A monster.”
[Future State AU]. When (the real) Bruce asks him to infiltrate the Magistrate as a Mask Hunter, Jason knew it was going to be lonely. Especially since only he and Bruce were aware of his undercover status. He just never thought it would hurt this much.

Summary
So, let’s try to clear this up, okay, pumpkin? and he moans around blood in his throat, flooding his lungs, dribbling over his chin.
Footsteps, quiet and unsure. The sound of a young Bat sneaking into unknown territory. Too small to be, to be – Jason tilts his head and Robin stares back at him.
“Is this what happens when I die?” he whispers, all soft and shivery in the way ghosts are.
Jason goes missing. As the rest of the Bats try to find him, he wanders down tunnels while suffering under the influence of fear gas.

Summary
Getting caught is the least of Jason's worries. What they plan to do next - that's a completely different matter.
[...} everything is hazy, fuzzy, and yet he realizes that… only one of his limbs actually has something tied to it.
And he pauses as that realization trickles in like water between the cracks of his fingers.
Jason has exactly four seconds to pinpoint rope around his ankle before the sharp, barking cough of an exhaust pipe blares out.No. 30 NOTE TO SELF: DON'T GET KIDNAPPED
