Hey everyone, welcome to another one Batman story! (Oh god why?) This little series is going to be based off of Young Justice Invasion. Well more like the whole Clone!Roy and Real!Roy thing. No I'm not going to rehash that out into a fanfic. (I am actually doing a video with the YJI dialogue with Teen Jason, RH Jason, and Bruce.) I am going to use that same concept for Jason Todd. Without ado let's just get on with the story.

Disclaimer- I no own, you no sue

Warning- There is slight cursing in here because of Young Jay's mouth.

In Gotham memorial hospital there were two men watching a much younger teenager lying unconscious on the bed. The kid looked to be in his early teens. He had one arm, where his right arm was supposed to be there were bandages. He was in a teal hospital scrub. The two men were sitting on chairs whispering to one another about the boy. They became silent once they saw him twitch.

"Ugh, where am I?" The boy asked while trying to lean himself up.

The older man got up from his chair and grabbed the remote to control the bed. His other hand went behind the boy's back to help him lean up as the bed was elevating. Once the bed was raised the man sat back down and put the remote down. The boy looked at the older man and then the younger one. The younger man had a very familiar hair cut with one of his bangs being white.

"Bruce what happened?" The boy asked while looking at the older man. "And who's this guy?" He asked pointing to the man with the white stripe in his hair.

Bruce and the younger man just looked at the boy.

"I'm Jason Todd." The younger man said.

The boy in the bed widened his eyes.

"But I'm Jason Todd!" The boy said, "Oh for fuck's sake, don't tell me I got sent into the future."

"Not exactly." Jason said.

"Oh for the love of-" Jay said, "Stop talking around it!"

"Tim Drake and I," Jason started.

"You mean the neighbor's kid from down the street?" Jay asked, "What does he have to do with this?"

"The two of us found you frozen in an ice chamber." Jason said, "We then brought you here."

"He's also my son now." Bruce said. "I also have a biological son named Damian."

"And Dickie made his own team." Jason said.

"Whoa." Jay said with wide eyes, "I didn't see that coming."

"Yea when he was sick of working for the League he decided to make his own team with Kid Flash, Aqualad, Speedy, and Wonder Girl." Jason explained.

Bruce had a small glare.

"Sorry B-Man," Jason said, "didn't mean to bring up bad memories. Jay here needs to know these things."

"Jay?" Jay asked. "What Dickhead used to call me?"

"Yep, since you're younger saying 'Jay' will be less confusing." Jason said smiling.

Jay just blinked.

"You've both been talking around the main problem here." Jay said. "What happened to me? How and why the hell is there another Jason Todd? And what happened to my arm?"

Jason and Bruce just sighed. They knew they'd have to eventually tell Jay what happened to him, they just wanted to stall a little longer.

"We wanted to wait until you were feeling better before we told you everything." Jason said.

"Yea, well I'm not a patient person now tell me what the hell happened to me." Jay said.

"What do you remember from when Tim and I found you?" Jason asked.

"I've been trying to figure that out." Jay said before looking at Bruce. "We were investigating the Joker and his goons. We suspected them of shipping pills that the Joker made to make people laugh. We fought a few of his goons and when the Joker ran off I went after him. Must've knocked me out or something because that's all I can remember."

"The thing is Jason," Bruce said, "that was 8 years ago."

"What?" Jay asked.

"Joker teamed up with Lex Luthor to work on a Cadmus project of human cloning. They needed an endless supply of your DNA so they amputated your arm to perfect the cloning process on an ordinary human." Jason explained.

"So that's what you are," Jay said, "a clone of me."

"Yep," Jason said, "In the span of a few months they grew me, well force grew me to be your age. I got programmed with all your skills, memories, and worse."

"Then I was spoon-fed clues to your location." Bruce said. "I thought I was finding you but in hindsight… You were missing 3 months Jason. Dick was going crazy, Alfred had to spike my drink to get me to sleep so when I found you-him I didn't question it all that much since he knew the secret code. I had no idea that it wasn't the original you. I had no idea Joker had you all these years."

"So what you guys are saying is," Jay said as he looked at Jason, "you took my place. You've been living my life, for 8 years."

"And we've been searching for you for 5 of those years." Bruce said.

"It took you guys 3 years to realize I've been replaced!" Jay said before looking at Bruce. "We were partners, I was your son. How could you not have known that I was replaced?" He said then pausing. "How could you leave me with Joker for 8 years?" He said with his voice deepening.

Bruce just turned his head.

"Jason I'm sorry." Bruce said.

"Sorry isn't going to fix what happened to me," Jay said, "sorry won't get the 8 years of my life I've missed back."

"I'm sorry you feel that way," Bruce said getting up from his chair, "I'll leave you alone."

Bruce got up and left Jay's room without looking back. Jay looked like he was about to stop Bruce, but he didn't.

"Did you want to stop him?" Jason asked.

"I don't know." Jay said.

"Are you going to be alright by yourself?" Jason asked, "I need to go and make sure Bruce doesn't do anything stupid."

"It's kind of boring here though." Jay said.

Jason went back by his chair and pulled out some books from his bag.

"Here read one of these," Jason said, "It'll keep you busy till I come back."

"Ugh, but I hate reading!" Jay said while grabbing a book anyway.

Jason walked out of the room into the waiting area of the hospital. Bruce was sat down in one of the seats with his elbows on his knees and his head on his hands. Jason plopped himself right next to him.

"Bruce," Jason said, "you can't blame yourself for this."

"I should've known." Bruce said.

"There was no way of knowing I wasn't the original Jason Todd until we found out."

"There had to be something I missed, something that would've told me you weren't the real Jason."

"Bruce, Cadmus made sure I was the perfect clone of your son so you wouldn't know."

"It's a curse to have me as a father, isn't it? Jason, Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin, and Robin. I've failed you guys, I'm surprised all of you are still in this family."

"I never felt that way about you. I might not have shown it over the years, but you were a good father. Dick, Tim, and Damian would say the same. I know Jay doesn't feel that way as well. So let's go back in, he needs you more than he realizes Dad."

Bruce put a hand on Jason's shoulder. Jason had a tiny smile on his face. Then Bruce took his hand off his shoulder. Jason was the first to get up and then Bruce. They both went inside Jay's room and saw him there reading the book Jason gave him earlier.

"About time," Jay said putting the book down, "I was so bored I actually read a book!"

Jason just giggled a bit at that remembering how he used to do that when he was younger. Bruce had a small smile on his face. Things just might be okay.

Well, that's a wrap for this chapter. I honestly had no idea how to continue this without writing more things that I want to cover in later chapters. (Or alternately writing more than I can chew) I figured this would be a good place to stop. If these guys were OOC, I'm sorry.

I'm still not sure how I'm going to do this tbh, I don't know if it's going to be continuous or just time skipping one-shots. Since I'm not entirely sure about where I'm going with this you guys can suggest somethings you'd like to see in here. I do have some stuff written about what I want to happen in this story but some of it will come in later chapters. The second chapter, or another part of this depending on what I do, is currently being written so once I get that sorted out it'll be posted.

Fun Facts/Info:

*Unlike YJI, Bruce actually never gave up on Jay, once he realized that Jason was a clone, like how Ollie gave up on the original Roy.

*I changed the chapel in YJI to a waiting room because I don't think Bruce is that religious and probably wouldn't go in one. Along with Jay staying in the hospital, unlike Roy (Arsenal) who left to get his revenge on Luthor.

*This fanfiction idea would NOT leave my mind at all straight up to the point where I had to write it out.

*I will be referring to Original Jason as Jay and Clone Jason as Jason for the rest of this fanfic. Y'all have probably noticed, but I will continue that.

*This will be the only chapter to use aspects from Clone Roy / Original Roy from YJ/I. As I said in my beginning AN I'm not rehashing the same thing most of you have probably seen.

*Here are the ages I'm using for everyone. Damian: 10, Jay: 13, Tim: 16, Jason: 21, and Dick: 25. I don't know if I'll put the girls in here, maybe Barbara, but if I do I'll list their ages when they come in.

Reviewing makes a girl happy, and reviewing lets me know people like this idea and lets me know you want me to continue.
