    Summary

    Jason swallowed. “She’s everything the world has killed in me.”
    “Well,” Leslie hesitated, voice kind, if rough, “they do say we become who would have saved us when we were younger.”

     

    Jason Todd never allowed himself to be soft. Not in Crime Alley, not with Batman, not after the pit.
    Then one night he finds a newborn abandoned behind a dumpster and it’s both the easiest and hardest choice of his life – because he knows how this story ends. A child left alone in the dark. A body in a cold alley. A city that doesn’t care.
    As Gotham’s latest rumors take a terrifying turn and the past comes clawing at his heels, Jason isn’t looking to be a hero. He just refuses to let history repeat itself.

     

    You don't need to read the rest of the "Hatchlings of Gotham" series (dedicated to the Batkids' kids) to read this one.

    Now with a short sequel.

    Summary

    On a Tuesday night, Bruce Wayne attends a circus. Halfway through, the trapeze artists are killed, leaving their eight year old son behind, hands wrapped in dancer’s tape and knees bloody with how he falls on them in his anguish. Bruce Wayne watches him for a moment, two, then turns around and leaves.

    Sixteen years later, the thing who was once a man named Dick Grayson nurses a bottle of scotch as he stitches the gaping wound in his side from where Batman got him with a batarang.

    Summary

    “You had my baby?” Superman asks, tilting in the air and still staring at Experiment Thirteen, as if he's somehow forgotten both how much kryptonite Lex owns and how much kryptonite he keeps specifically in this office. “While I was dead. You had my baby while I was dead.”

    . . . alright then, Lex thinks again, both eyebrows raising this time.

    “I really wouldn’t put it that way, personally,” he says. “Also, I don’t recall saying it was in any way yours.”

    Summary

    Jason Todd has fought assassins, survived a Lazarus Pit, and run a crime bar in Gotham's underworld. Standing in Room 237 of Bowery Public High School with a poster of Jane Austen in one hand, he's absolutely terrified.
    His first year teaching English is nothing like vigilante work. His seventh period, twenty-two remedial seniors who've been written off by everyone else, will make sure of that.
