Descendant:

[It’s early evening and the Descendant Bar and Lounge is open as usual. However, compared to most nights, this night and this entire month has been kind of quiet. There aren’t as many customers and the ones who do show up sometimes leave early. Jason knows it’s because of the alien worms but business still needs to continue somehow.

He’s still doing what he can whenever he’s working as the bar’s owner. He’s attending to customers (especially the VIP ones), serving drinks and food, checking on the reading room, and sometimes has to step in as part of security to throw out a rowdy customer. Sometimes, he’s literally throwing them out. It’s good exercise.

Coincidentally, songs like “Another One Bites the Dust,” “Livin’ On A Prayer,” and brave attempts at “Bohemian Rhapsody” can sometimes be heard from the second floor’s stage]

This shit better not be prophetic.

[Regardless of what Jason’s doing, come talk to him. He could probably use the break]

Warehouse raid (Closed to the other Jason Todd, Bucky Barnes, and Sleeper):

[Ever since his other self told him he successfully robbed the D’Amicos, Jason sought out more of their bases with his gang. After all, it’s not often he gets a chance to further weaken a mob that was still recovering. After many nights and a lot of hard work, Jason soon enough found the perfect base to rob. He’s even going to have backup for tonight.

It’s nearly midnight and Jason’s at the edge of Central City, perched on the rooftop of an old brick building and fully dressed in his Red Hood gear. He has a plan and he trusts the rest of the party enough to not screw up the raid.

But as Jason stares at the warehouse a block away from him, he can’t help but frown under his helmet]

Another Productive Night (Closed to Young Justice!Tim Drake):

[It's another Central City evening and Jason's deep in his gang's territory as the Red Hood once again.

There are three motorcycles parked outside of an auto repair shop and the building’s lights are still on. Suddenly, there’s a loud commotion as Jason drags out a man and then slams him against the wall. He then pins his victim by having his forearm pressed hard against the man’s neck]

You were warned, Benny.

[As Benny struggles to breathe, two more men come out of the building. Both are in motorcycle helmets with the visors down to cover their faces and wearing gloves. One man has hands as large as a gorilla’s. Neither of these two men seem disturbed as they watch Jason begin to pistol whip Benny across the face]

[Since Huvrye came back to their apartment sporting a couple new holes in his abdomen, Leo has been sneaking out more often than he used to, though now instead of looking for random muggers, carjackers, or other low level thugs, he's been out looking for organized criminals. Particularly those who may be looking for someone else (and who don't seem to be pod-peopled).

He's out again tonight when he sees not quite what he's looking for, but something that catches his attention nonetheless - a guy in a red helmet that seems like the kind of scary thing someone calling themselves the Red Hood would wear. In fact, Leo has seen one like it (though he doesn't know it belonged to a different Jason Todd.

Leo's been wanting to talk to this guy.

Of course, just walking up to someone dangerous and saying hey is stupid even for Leo, so he doesn't do that. He spots him from a few rooftops away, and slips into the shadows, working his way slowly and steadily, as quietly as he can, toward him.

Hopefully he can sneak up on him without being noticed...]

[robintohood]

[Jason was trying to stalk his target for the Society when he got the sense that he was being tailed. He doesn't change his body language though. He doesn't want to let them know he's been noticed. Instead, Jason decides to play along until he has a better idea of who the tail is.

He gets up, looks to his left, goes for a running start, and then jumps over to the next rooftop. Then he starts to parkour across a few more rooftops. He's curious if the tail can keep up]

[faceguy]

[Hmm, not bad.

Leo's hardly worried about keeping up - bouncing around rooftops is something he's been doing since Splinter first started letting him and his brothers go out at night, after all. He easily parkours after the Red Hood, though he still keeps to the shadows as much as possible. Even without his portals, Leo's fast.]

[robintohood]

[After a few rooftops, Jason pauses and takes another note of his surroundings. Hmm... the tail's still around. Not bad so far.

Jason then takes out his grappling gun and aims for a building with a water tower that's a couple of stories higher. He fires and then zips up to the higher rooftop and into the shadows of the tower]

[faceguy]

[Now is definitely a time when having his teleportation working would be handy, but since he's still having issues with it he'll have to do this the old fashioned way.

Leo hops around to some buildings that are a bit higher but still jumpable, but he has to finish scaling the higher building by finding window ledges and handholds. As a result it takes him longer to reach the top than it had following Jason until this point.

He also rolls into the shadows of the tower, on guard. It's possible he's already left, but Leo just feels in his gut that he hasn't.]

[robintohood]

[By the time Leo reaches the shadow of the water tower, Jason's already on top of it. He throws a pair of bolases at Leo to try and tangle him up]

[faceguy]

[Whoa, not good!

Leo dodges, though just barely, and it blows his cover completely. Leo swings himself up on one of the bars of the water tower, watching the Red Hood.]

Hey, can you not?

[robintohood]

[Oh... The giant turtle he met back when he had been deaged as Robin was not who he expected. Still, this isn't a great situation]

If you explain why you've been tailing me, maybe.

[faceguy]

[Leo was expecting to get shot at, so having the guy actually answer him back throws him off for just a second. He recovers quickly, though.]

I just need to talk to you. Well, I think I do. [He swings back down from the bar to stand on the roof, still keeping his distance.] I'm looking for the Red Hood, and not to presume anything, but you look like the kind of guy who would name themself something so... literal.

[robintohood]

[In a deadpan tone]

You don't say. What the hell do you want? I'm busy.

[faceguy]

[Leo holds up his hands, in a sort of "slow down" motion, but fine, he can get to the point.]

A friend of mine recently came down with a really bad case of Shot-in-the-gut-itis and it's because whoever shot him thinks that he's associated with you. So I just want to know who that was and why they would think that. Then I can be out of your hair, if you even have any under there.

[robintohood]

[Oh damnit. The fallout from Huvrye getting shot continues. Jason really doesn't need this]

Idiots with guns don't make great sharpshooters. That's all you need to do know. Besides, what do you think you're gonna do if you do find them?

[faceguy]

Why does it matter what I would do? Not unless they're friends of yours.

[He doesn't think so since they shot Huvrye, but who knows how criminals think?]

[robintohood]

[Despite the helmet, Jason rolls his eyes]

It's already been taken care of.

[It was a good time robbing the D'Amicos too]

And even if they weren't, it would take more than that little bread knife to get the job done.

[faceguy]

Oh, I can do plenty of damage with it, don't worry. [Eyerolls don't bother him, he's seen them in every conversation he's ever had.] Taken care of how?

[robintohood]

Enough that they won't shoot at your friend. That's all you need to know.

Since when do turtles use swords?

[faceguy]

Uh-huh. And I'm supposed to just trust you on that?

It's a dangerous world out here for turtles. You never know when an alligator may show up.

[robintohood]

Or a giant eagle ready to snatch you and drop you.

You're just gonna have to take what I said because I'm not saying more.

[faceguy]

You can't at least give me a name so I can look into it myself? Come on now.

[Why is every adult around him so annoying?]

[robintohood]

No. Do you even have experience doing this kinda thing?

[Turtle guy sounds like a teenager and Jason gets the impression he doesn't do the kind of vigilante work he does. He's certainly not the stealthiest]

[faceguy]

Yes.

[Defiant defiant defiant.]

[robintohood]

[Dryly]

Against what? Gator mobsters?

[faceguy]

What, you want my resume? Trust me, I've taken down stronger than some human gangsters.

[robintohood]

Such as...?

[Might as well get some information on this guy if he's going to be persistent]

[faceguy]

[Now it's Leo's turn to roll his eyes.]

I could say the Foot Clan or the Shredder or that I'm a Battle Nexus champion but none of that is going to matter to you because we aren't from the same world, and you're just going to say, "The Foot Clan doesn't sound very intimidating," and I know that but I didn't pick the name.
