Forever Apart: Jaydick (Redwing pt 2)

34. Jason-That's how he knew

Jason was angry with himself. It was all his fault that his brother turned out like he was.
"In this timeline, he became the Red Hood but in the old timeline, he's... " Bruce paused, "He's dead."
"What? I had a brother that I didn't know about and he's dead?! And you didn't tell me??!" Jason shouted at Bruce.
Jason got really angry and started kicking things. He had a brother and Bruce knew but kept it from him.
"Jason. Calm down," Bruce tried to say but he was too angry.
"How..."Jason started, "How did he die?"
"I don't think you want to know," Bruce said.
"How!?" Jason repeated in anger.
"He was at the warehouse when you died. He was caught in the explosion."
Jason was confused and angry. Bruce explained, "He was following you. He was so jealous of you and wanted to know all your secrets."
"That's know how he knew I was Robin and Flamebird. He knew the Titans," Jason replied. Jason collapsed onto the floor, on the verge of tears. I killed my brother. His death was on me. I was so selfish to look for my birth mother. If I didn't, Will wouldn't have died in the old timeline. But now what matters is that he is alive. I can help him. I can stop him from being me, the Red Hood.
