Summary
Dick Grayson has been through a lot in his 19 year old life and at this point he's more alone then he's ever been before. So when he finds himself bleeding out, alone, on a Bludhaven rooftop he can't help but think, 'At least it will stop hurting.'
...Until he wakes up, still alone but now in world that doesn't need him. At least that's what he thinks. That is until he stumbles upon a chance he never had in his first life. Now he's thrown back into a world of bats and birds and struggling to find his place in this world amongst the trauma of his past life and the major differences in this one.
Maybe with the help of a few friends he can find his footing again.

Summary
Jason Todd dies, cradled in the arms of a man who had already seen too much death, and something in Batman breaks. His youngest of five children, in a coffin that should have held himself instead.
Therefore, when freshly orphaned Dick Grayson arrives at the gates of Wayne Manor, it is to a bleak and still in mourning family. He is not even given enough time to unpack his meagre set of belongings before he’s packing them again and is shipped off to a boarding school halfway across the globe.
And another one.
And then another.
And so on and so forth.
By the time he’s sixteen, he runs away from the worst of the lot, sick of being shafted off from place-to-place like an unwanted stray. Somehow, in his lowest moment, he catches the eye of a strange one-eyed mercenary, who presents him with an offer too good to refuse.

Summary
So, even though Dick was now arguably more of a member of the Zombie Club than Jason, the rest of the bats didn’t know.
A part of Dick had always known that it would come out. He’d sort of hoped it would be in better circumstances than this.
The sound of shattering glass was deafening, and for one impossible moment, Dick could smell chalk dust and popcorn. The excitement of the crowd in his ears as it played along with a vibrant tune that matched the colours of the tent. The glass caught the moonlight like jewels. Drifting in the air, motes of starlight trailing down around him. Wide eyes behind a mask. Fingers reaching out too late.
