At age 14 Jason reveals his secret that he was a prostitute to Bruce, Alfred and Dick none of them judged him and they all shared a hug. At age 14 he and Rena broke up due to Jason missing many dates due to being Robin they however remained on good terms. 2004 is also the year Jason stopped Batman from killing the Joker.

When Bruce saw Felipe Garzonas falling he asked Jason if he was pushed or fell. He fell because he was high on cocaine and Robin was out for blood, Jason could've saved him but didn't. Bruce knowing Jason's history of being a rape victim believes that Jason killed Felipe in fear of Jason turning into a murderer he benches Jason. This happened after the case Jason cracked the collarbone of a criminal. Jason thinking Bruce will disown him takes all his savings, packs his bags and runs away. He goes back to his parents' apartment where his old neighbor gives him a bunch of his parents' old things. It consisted of some of Jason's pictures as a toddler and an infant, some documents including Jason's birth certificate. Jason breaks into the batcave to track down his biological mother. Then he takes the plane to Ethiopia. Bruce realizes what Jason is doing and finds out Joker is in Ethiopia as well, so he follows Jason to Ethiopia where he agrees to help Jason find his mother. They find her and Jason and Shelia bond, then Joker makes an appearance and threatens Shelia. Jason reveals that he is Robin and tries to help his mother. She however sells him out to the Joker who beats him brutally with a crowbar for 2 hours while his mother smoked a cigarette in a warehouse. Joker tied Shelia up and planted a bomb in the warehouse. Jason manages to untie Shelia but the door turns out to be locked. Jason jumped in front of Shelia to take the burnt of the explosion. Batman gets there right after the warehouse explodes. And that's where our story starts
