Jason Todd wasn’t the monster the world had painted him to be. He wasn’t even the cold, broken man Clark had expected to find. He was something far more complex: a young man scarred by tragedy but still trying to find his way.
And beneath the scars, beneath the layers of cynicism and pain, Jason had a heart of steel. The same heart that had driven him to fight for others as Robin. The same heart that refused to let him give up, even after everything he’d been through.
By the end of the month, Clark’s perception of Jason had shifted entirely. He no longer saw the boy Bruce had failed to save or the vigilante the world had written off. He saw Jason for who he was - a good person trying to live a good life, despite everything that had been taken from him.
The realization wasn’t sudden. It came slowly, piece by piece, with every small act of kindness, every fleeting smile, every moment of quiet strength.
Jason still carried the weight of his past, but he wasn’t defined by it. And that, Clark realized, was what set him apart.
The world had given Jason every reason to become the monster they accused him of being. Instead, he’d chosen to fight for a better life - to put the crime-fighting days behind him and go to college.

Tim smirked. "To be fair, it sounds exactly like something Red Hood would do."Connor rolled his eyes and snorts, "No it doesn't."
Tim looked up.
"What?"
"It doesn't. He seems too introverted to own a store. Plus if he were to open a store, it's for sure a book store"
"How do you know that?" Tim says with a pointed stare.
Connor pauses, thinks, and then shrugs. "Met him a few times, he's not bad"
Tim frowned. "Not... bad?"
"You know, you have a bad habit of when Jason is brought up you immediately assume the weirdest possible version of him."
Tim looked genuinely confused.
"The rumor literally says he threatens customers."
"Mhm"
"He shoots people and curses all the time, that sounds plausible."
Connor laughed. "Yeah but that's when he's red hood and out fighting criminals or the bats."
A moment passed.
Then another.
"Huh." Tim says.
"What?"
Tim leaned back.
"I actually don't know."
Connor smirked.
"Exactly."
