[Open-ish] October Oddities
Who: Jason Todd
robintohood and you. Also a couple of closed prompts
What: Various antics with Jason as a civilian and as the Red Hood
When: Throughout October
Where: Central City
Content Warnings: Potential PG-13 level violence. Will edit if needed.
Civilian:
[Between running Descendant Bar & Lounge as a civilian and being the violent vigilante and crime lord known as the Red Hood, it’s hard for Jason to have time for himself. But somehow he finds a way to squeeze in a few free days every month.
After running several errands, Jason’s now relaxing on a park bench and reading a library’s copy of The Bad Seed. If one were to look at the bags next to him, he apparently bought some new apparel, tools, and sewing supplies. Come bug him]
Red Hood:
[Tonight, the Red Hood is well within his gang’s territory and busy with making sure things stay in order.
If you’re nearby, you might see a thug get defenestrated out of a dive bar and landing on the curb. Jason then coolly follows after him and cracks his knuckles. Two of Jason’s gang members also come out of the building to follow him]
We can do this the easy way or the hard way.
[Come enjoy the show?
Alternatively, instead of coming across the Red Hood committing assault and battery, you might see a rarer side of him.
He could be seen escorting a teenager towards a homeless shelter for youths. There's no threatening, dangerous growl to his voice as he talks to the kid.]
Just give tonight a shot and see how you feel tomorrow. You can call me if you need something.
Cooking Lesson (Closed to Donnie):
[A lot has happened since Jason and Donnie talked about making a grilled cheese sandwich. Time travel, more new arrivals, a possibly new timeline…. These things happen, you know? But Jason and Donnie’s schedules have finally lined up for them to spend a morning making a grilled cheese sandwich. It should be simple enough, right?]
Might wanna take it easy on the laser.
[Okay, mostly simple]
Crime Lesson (Closed to Accelerator):
[As promised, Jason is going to teach Accelerator on how to be a better criminal.
Tonight, Jason is fully dressed in his Red Hood gear and perched on the rooftop of a store that’s closed for the evening. The meeting spot he and Accelerator worked out is within Backbreakers territory near a chop shop. Said shop’s lights are on and sounds of tools banging and whirring indicate the illicit business is open.
Jason isn't entirely sure how this lesson will turn out but it should be entertaining at least. He just has to wait for Accelerator to arrive]
Wildcard:

no subject
Got some ideas on how to do it?
no subject
[Without them noticing? That means no breaking down a wall and crushing them. What a pain in the ass.]
I don't know the layout of the building's interior, so it's probably better to create a distraction and get as many of them out of there as possible, then sneak in.
no subject
[Accelerator’s suggestion isn’t bad so far but Jason’s testing to see how well he can plan]
no subject
He pulls his gun out and points at it.]
That thing looks like it'd make great kindling.
[He's exploded cars before, but by punching him and not via bullet, so that sounds super fun.]
no subject
Try it then.
no subject
[Fuck yeah, time to show off a little and break his cool new gun in.
With that grin still on his face Accelerator reaches up to hit the switch on his choker, before spinning the gun in his hand. It ends up pointed at his head and he doesn't hesitate in firing. It looks absolutely suicidal, and he knows exactly what he's doing.
A regular bullet might just pierce the hood, but there's no way it has enough force to reach the fuel tank and cause a big enough spark for an explosion. So he's helping it along a little with his ability - grabbing the vectors when it hits his reflection, and doing some quick calculations to alter its direction and momentum. The result is the bullet ricochets off of him (technically, off his reflection a few centimetres above his skin) and shreds into the van's fuel tank, along the way causing enough friction against pieces of metal that a lot of sparks are produced.
And a second later, there's one very large BOOM! as the van blows up.]
no subject
Not bad so far.
no subject
That should buy us loads of time. Let's go find a way in.
[Retracting the cane portion of his crutch back into the arm cuff, he steps over and off the side of the roof, again using gravitational vectors to slow his descent. He's going to lead them around to the far side of the building, looking for any kind of door or windows to use to get in.]
no subject
It’s dark as they get closer to the back of building. The main light sources are coming from the locked windows. The door is also locked. Faintly, there’s also a single small red light up near the corner indicating the security camera.
Jason knows about the camera but he waits to see what Accelerator does first]
no subject
By the way, when this light is red - [He taps his choker, where the little light on it is currently that colour] - don't fucking touch me unless you want a broken limb or your internal organs to implode.
[Just sayin'. Around the back Accelerator makes his way for the door. He could break down a wall but that'd be noisy. Same with breaking a window and shattering the glass. The door seems like his best bet, even if it's obvious.
He'll notice the security camera, thanks to the red light and faint radiation waves the electrical current the power to it is giving off. Narrowing his eyes, Accelerator waves a hand, condensing and firing the air molecules he touches into a spear of wind to break the camera off its hinge and send it flying.
(A stealthier option would be to go up there and cut the current's flow, even if it would take longer.)
Then he turns to the door. Sheesh, he almost wishes Musujime was around to teleport them in. Grabbing the deadbolt portion with the tips of his fingers, there's a crunching noise as he simply yanks the mechanism straight out of the door.]
no subject
He also approves that Accelerator did notice the camera and took care of it. There’s a balance to between being time efficient and being stealthy. Accelerator’s method also didn’t leave much evidence to have it traced back to him so it works for now]
Not bad. Super strength?
no subject
Sort of. I'm psychic.
[He knows that isn't really an answer. It's only the start, and he can give the full explanation out as they continue, or afterwards when they're done. Whichever, he doesn't mind either way.
Not hearing anything he cracks open the door, peers in and, upon seeing that it's clear, heads inside.]
What the hell do you want me stealing?
no subject
Jason points out to a red toolbox sitting at the top of a tall stack of tires]
Go for it.
no subject
He keeps an eye on the goons that he can see from his vantage point, sticking to whatever shadows are available as he moves towards the tires. Being small and skinny certainly helps, though he's still far from the professional ninja-ing of the turtles. And when he reaches the tires his shortness is a bit of a detriment - he's having to brace himself on the lowest tire in order to reach the toolbox.]
no subject
When Accelerator moves the toolbox off of the tire stack, its contents loudly rattle.
One of the goons closest to the front entrance can be heard saying “what was that?”]
no subject
He steps off the tire quickly, back onto the ground, ducking behind the tires so the goons outside don't catch sight of him. Again, being a scrawny twig has its advantages.
If he was on his own he'd say fuck it and just take those idiots out, but he's still making a token attempt to follow Jason's instructions. So he remains still, listening to see if they come inside.]
no subject
The goon then takes a couple of steps into the room before one of his comrades calls his name to get more help with putting out the fire. The man jogs back outside afterwards]
no subject
- No, where Jason is supposed to be. What the fuck? Did that asshole ditch him? This time Accelerator doesn't keep his cursing to himself, muttering under his breath.]
That son of a biiiitch.
[Okay, whatever. He isn't sure how much time he has left but he turns back to the toolbox. This time he manipulates some gravitational vectors, so when he steps up on the edge of the tire he's a lot more balanced. And when he grabs the toolbox, he's halting the momentum of any soundwaves that bounce off his reflection. It won't be complete silence, but it's a hell of a lot quieter.
He hops off the tire, tucking the toolbox under one arm before glancing around again and starting to make his way back to the back exit.]
no subject
Close call but not bad so far.
[Jason sounds completely unworried about what just happened]
no subject
So you didn't just fucking ditch this whole thing. Great.
[He's hitting the switch on his choker to change it back to normal mode, and extending his crutch. No point in wasting the battery, even if this makes the toolbox feel a lot heavier.]
no subject
Now what kind of teacher would I be if I did that?
[So far it’s been an entertainment night]
Still got enough in you to get away from here?
no subject
Yeah, no fucking problem. [Thirty minutes isn't a ton of time, but this didn't take too long, so he's fine.]
no subject
Who taught you to sneak?
no subject
A couple of idiot ninjas who knows their shit. Leonardo and Donatello.
[That's the closest he'll get to a compliment, he's allergic to giving those.]
no subject
Not too idiotic then.
[He takes out his grapple gun and shoots it at a fire escape. There’s a clank sound as the hook makes contact. Jason then presses a button and zips up to a rooftop]
