AU where jason todd lives but it’s because he talked to his friends (e.g. dana, max, etc.) about meeting sheila haywood and they told him to email her first instead of hopping on the first flight out of gotham to meet her for the first time

DC needs to release a story expanding upon Truth & Justice #12.

They can't just drop a bomb like "Talia orchestrated the murder of Jason's old friend because she wants Jason to be the next Ra's" and not follow up on it.

IN A YELLOW WOOD.

Money's no good for just sitting around, though. You have to do something with it, put it somewhere. Back when Jason first moved to the manor, he got more pocket money than he ever did selling tires at the chop shop. Crisp dollar bills, no strings attached. Bruce never asked how Jason spent it. He was real old money like that. But Jason didn't like the idea of keeping more than he needed. Or at least that's what he told himself, on days where he was homesick for the summer air of Crime Alley. Jason took the bus back there a lot, back when he was a kid. He didn't speak to anybody. Crime Alley had already restructured itself around his absence by then. Some time after he became Robin, he began leaving money at his & Max's spot with a little guilt. The guilt of leaving without saying goodbye. Of saying goodbye at all. He's not sure what Max ever did with it, but he liked skulking in the shadows, waiting for Max, watching him. He'd become good at that by then. He'd become good at a lot of things. Maybe it's nostalgia. Or maybe Jason's homesick for a time that doesn't exist. He doesn't know. But he knows—with his skills—that it can't take long to track Max down again. That's how it starts, anyway. And as with most things, it snowballs from there.

Notable kids Jason knew in his childhood.

In no particular order. Realized I did kind of put them in order from post to pre Robin era.

Rena (Detective Comics 561 / 563-565)

Pre-crisis Jason's girlfriend. They met in high school after Jason was adopted by Bruce. They were both the new kids and found companionship with each other.

Numbers (Batman: Gotham Nights 11)

Briefly lived together at Ma Gunn's. Numbers took punishment in Jason's stead because Jason was kind to him. Jason saved him in return, as an adult, from an assassin.

Gabby Christensen (Red Hood / Arsenal 4)

Homeless kid, along with Jason, who looked out for Jason before he was adopted by Bruce. Would comfort and try to tend to his injuries despite him lashing out.

Max Dawkins (Truth & Justice 10)

Ran with Jason when he was homeless. Jason notes that Max looked after him like a brother and Jason considered him he best friend. Jason would leave money for Max to find after he was adopted. Lets just ignore the fact he was created just to be murdered, he is still alive, fuck you DC.

Dana Harlowe / Strike (Red Hood and the Outlaws (2016) 51-52)

Possibly Jason's oldest friend. Dana's father seem quite familiar with Jason, recognizing him as an adult and remembering him fondly. Dana took up the name Strike to help defend her neighborhood during the Joker War and later fought with Red Hood to save her sister, Denise

Jason was also friends with Edward Bloomberg (Kid Devil) who he was pen pals with, mentioned in the Blue Devil comics. And Roy Harper (Speedy ((at the time)) starting from the New 52 series. Didn't add them because I was focusing on friends outside of the hero life but they deserve the mention.

These are all the ones that I know of. If I missed anyone, feel free to add them!

Time for some Max Dawkins appreciation

My boy manged to get off the streets, graduate from college and wanted to solve Gothams homelessness problems.

Hey, how come Jason has so many friends from before he gets adopted that get brought up Once and then cease to exist?

(Truth & Justice #10)

It's cool to see Jason's pre-Robin life explored! He had a friend 🥺
