I have no questions, Mister Wayne, I merely wish to inform you of the truth behind Jason Todd's current status. We had wished to notify you sooner, but Jason himself had to keep his true status a secret beyond the initial success of the project, and we have respected his wishes.
Allow me to point you to a press release that we at SHIELD have released on his behalf.
I am more than willing to give you the means to contact him, should he wish to do so in return, though I will give you notice that he may not wish to do so immediately, as the past few days of re-connecting with family and friends alike have been a bit - stressful for him. Though, it is up to him to decide in the long run, in all honesty.
I will attempt to answer any questions that you may have.

Sick, angry, elated, disgusted, afraid. He felt a little bit of everything, but at the forefront he was sick. Everything was starting to take on a surreal feel, though if that was because of the news or the fact that he didn't remember the last time he'd actually eaten something other than a few sips of coffee, he wasn't sure. All he did know was that Jason was alive. A part of SHIELD.
And hadn't contacted him.
For a moment his anger sparked a little hotter as he reread the line about the life model decoy. He'd buried a damn doll. Cried over that grave. Prayed over it. Cursed. Begged. In a way he'd gotten his wish--Jason was alive after all--but at what price? The man had been unstable in his second life, so what would he be like in his third? In a way, Bruce was afraid to find out.
But find out he must, and even as his fingers shook, he wrote out his response.
If Jason truly wishes to contact me, he knows any and every possible way to do so. I understand that the relationship between he and I was strained at best, especially toward the end, however I want him to know that I would welcome any word from him, even if it is just that--a word.
I do have one question that I hope you can answer for me. How stable is he since his return? The events that led to his prior resurrection left him on edge and unstable, which put him on track toward his attempt on his own life on more than one occasion. I just hope that what you have done has not put him in that state of mind once again.
