"I've seen you with the Outsiders once or twice." He shook his head as she put distance between them. He was trying to be friendly here, and the chick didn't seem to want that. Whatever. "I'm Nightwing's brother. Jason Todd. Or Red Robin." He wasn't going to call himself the Red Hood for now. After all, he was trying to turn his life around.
Jason wanted this girl to trust him. He didn't know why he was trying so damn hard for friends, but he wanted them. So he looked around at the park and then sighed. "Stacy, can you play out my last arrest please?" The scene shifted and started to run through. The Red Hood and Scarlet taking down Batman and Robin, tying them up and leaving them there. Then the Flamingo showed up. Jason looked away and closed his eyes.
The scene continued to play out. Batman, who was very obviously Dick, showed up with Robin and Flamingo falling to his supposed death. Then there was Gordon. And Jason telling Dick he could bring Bruce back. And Jason couldn't watch anymore.
"Gotham Park please." His voice was soft but Stacy heard him. He looked back up at Indigo and frowned. "That scene? It hasn't happened for me yet, but it happened in some future I have. I'm just a common criminal to them, but that's not what I want. I never wanted that." He shook his head.
"I guess we all have a part of ourselves we don't want."
