Oh, I just thought of something fun
So, imagine this au where Jason and Bruce's relationship got better, like, pretty good now, but only the family knows about it
Anyone outside the bats has no idea that Jason is the red hood or that, alternatively, Hood is Batman's son
So, from time to time, someone will watch them interact/talk about each other and either be extremely confused or misinterpret it
Examples
"Bats, you okay?"
"..."
"You look more uh... Grumpy than usual"
"... My son is out of town"
"Oh, right uh... Must be hard, but hey, i heard one of your rouges was out too, the Red Hood i think, surely that makes it easier"
And then Batman just sighs for a long second (Internally, because he'll never say it, he's just thinking that he misses his little 6'4 boy, Jason is been out for like a day by now), and whoever was with him just thinks that maybe Red Hood is worse when he's out of Gotham (which is true but they don't know why)
"You're going to die if You don't go back right fucking now!" Yelled Red Hood, in midst of chaos of a fight, from somewhere near enough to be heard but not seen.
"I Will never leave this alone!" Yelled Batman back, again, without being seen.
The league thought that it was a way of Red Hood to treaten Batman, when in reality, Jason was just trying to sent home his dad who has two broken ribs, to which said dad replied that he couldn't just leave him alone to deal with the situation.
