Angsty Prompt: Bruce Dies Instead Of Jason

Angsty prompt: Bruce dies instead of Jason

Noor pls ma heart can't take this-

Jason's hands were bleeding from digging through the rubble. His lungs stopped working about 15 minutes ago and the tears were making it impossible to see, especially with the night approaching.

Just as he was about to give up, curl up on the debris and sob for the loss of his missing father, he felt something. Something soft touched his hand, reminiscent of warm. A caring, callused hand. Bruce's hand.

This discovery renewed the Robin's determination and the adrenaline rushing through his veins helped him lift the large slab of concrete off the bloody man. Jason's hands were shaky as they ran over bruce's face, trying to evoke an eyebrow twitch, eyes fluttering, anything that meant Bruce was still alive.

All he got was a ghostly sigh and cold stillness. By the time Dick arrived to take him and Bruce's body, their dad's body, Jason had passed out from exhaustion and pain.

Two weeks passed before any kind of service was held. The first funeral was small, and short, and in any other city the rain may have seemed symbolic, but now it seemed mocking. Only a handful of people were invited; Alfred, Dick (who brought Kori for support), Jason, Selina, Harley, Lucius, Leslie, Jim, and Harvey.

The second funeral was a public one. Broadcasted on every channel, with all the famous people that didn't know, didn't care, about Bruce.

The third was held in the Watchtower, the founders and their sidekicks attended to pay their respects to the Batman. Beloved superhero, son, father, philanthropist.

(four weeks after the third funeral)

"Jay?" came Dick's tentative voice at his brother's door. The 17 year old sat down and carefully peeled the covers off of Jason's face. Blank, but no longer tear stained. Dick didn't know if that was a good or bad sign.

"Hey, uh, so me and Alfred were cleaning out...his...room, and we found this. He would want you to have it." He held the thick book up and placed it down next to the other teen. After a quick pat on the shoulder Dick left to finish cleaning. Jason sat up and picked up the book, breath catching at the thick, rough leather cover. It was the book Bruce had been reading to him. Tears welled up as he opened the front cover, a soft sob escaping his lips as he read the note scribbled in Bruce's delicate writing.

'Jaylad, I'm so proud of you. Whenever you read these stories, please remember that. I love you, kiddo!

Dad ♡'

So... which of my Batfam/DC AUs are you?

Better Batman Suit AU Headcanons bc I promised them awhile back and I have procrastinated!

(@catboybatman)

He's a bit younger than regular canon, when the league starts he's around 23-25

He spent 7-9 years training with the League of Shadows but realised what they did was wrong/wouldn't kill someone so he escaped back to gotham

He's quiet, most of his "dark and intimidating" persona is bc of this

Hood + Owl mask + domino mask bc you can't be too careful

He has a magic dagger from his ancestors, coming directly from Morgana, it can kill any monster (or person) with one blow

At some point someone in the league gets mad and grabs his hood, yanking it off, and revealing bright pink hair

He has scars on his face, bc cmon, if someone's been fighting that long and that hard, they're gonna have face scars

He primarily uses a katana, hand to hand combat, and escrima sticks to fight

He wasn't even trying to be bat themed at first, gothamites saw him and went "big black blob....hmmmmmmmmmmmmm that's a bat"

He's selectively mute, but Clark thought he was deaf when they first met so he learned ASL to try to communicate with bruce, which bruce appreciates and finds cute
