You get to go back in time and bring child!Jason one item. What is it and why
Okay this one is really hard.
On the one hand, I could go to the time when Jason is living with his mum at home, and I could give him Bruce. Bruce would pay for Jason’s mum to get the help she needs. His dad would probably still die in prison though because Batman would send him there anyway. Bruce would end up taking Jason in after putting him through the foster system (Ma Gunn’s home) which failed. That way Jason would still have his Mum but stay with the batfamily if he chose to become Robin just like Tim. That way in the future he’d still die as Robin and become Red Hood. Which, selfishly I feel has a good outcome because Red Hood is perfect 😚
Or I if I go back in time for him while he’s a child but already Robin. I could warn him about his Mum and Ethiopia. Not really an item but definitely useful information. I don’t know what kind of outcome that would have. I feel like deep down Jason feels the injustice the people of Gotham face and he would ultimately become Red Hood. But without his death to trigger him I don’t know for sure if that would happen. Though knowing him he’d probably still go to see for himself if his real mum is alive, just in case there’s a small chance I was wrong. Which would still result in him being red hood. Yay.
Or you know maybe I could give him a gift card for therapy and tell him he’ll need it.
Not an item but I’d love to give him a hug :( He’s just a lil boy he’s suffered too much already.
Wow this has made me realise that I’d probably vote for Jason to die again if it meant getting Red Hood •_•
Okay I’m going to stop overthinking this because I’m too indecisive if you hadn’t got that already.
The one item I would give him is a cat. He’s been through so much as a kid and even when things are looking up back at the manor, it’s only natural for him to feel alone or even unwanted. This cat will be his best friend. After one of Bruce’s lectures, he will no longer sulk until he falls asleep. Instead he’d cuddle the cat because it loves him and is always there for him. I didn’t say dog because for a kid who lived on the street, I think he needs a calmer more docile pet to be his companion and emotional support, rather than a dog who can get a little jumpy. I just want Jason to have a little friend who can love him and he can love back.
