Bruce had just gotten back from work with the league. He loved his teammates, but he always was more comfortable in the cave. Especially when he had a new mystery to solve. Speaking of which, the computer greeted him with the message that Tim had already opened a new case file, Case Omega179.

Apparently, an unknown perp has injured and kidnapped at least 1 peron and killed another 6 since he has been gone. Just as Bruce was getting mad on their behalf, he saw the names. Elliot, Dent, Zazz, and several of the others in the secure wing at Arkham, now in hell or wherever. According to Tim's report, the Asylum video feeds were corrupted and showed nothing of note, simply a loop of that morning. Once recovered from the shock of knowing that so many old enemies were out of the "game", he saw the name of the one who was taken. Joker.

He couldn't even feign anything but relief at that news. He thought about calling Tim down, getting the full story when he remembered that Tim was supposed to be with the Titans this weekend, and left an hour before he got home. Ah, well. At least Oracle will be able to. He then starts to leave before looking at it. The case. I'm sorry little wing, that this took so long.

After a moment, he activated comms, hearing what suspiciously sounded like two teenage girls and one very young man laughing at his failed attempt at fighting a very angry and out of control Wonder Woman. Hah hah, yes, very funny. At least they are there, safe.


Hey guys, I know this might have felt somehow like it was rushed, yet also like nothing happened, but that will not be the case for future chapters. As far as what will this story be about, imagine if Jason Todd truly believed in the idea that he needed to control the criminals of Gotham to save it and didn't let personal bullshit stop him from doing what he thought he needed to do. That pretty much summs it up. Btw, yes I will be incorporating things from rebirth and new 52 if I view them as cool. Fudgin sue me.
