Harry looks down at his cup of coffee, black, no sugar, the opposite of how Pete likes his drinks, and thinks it’s probably very telling that he would have willingly taken a rusty kitchen knife and carved himself open, sternum to pelvic bone, if that’s what it took to save Peter’s life.

aka. Harry gets cured, but getting back into contact with Peter proves… difficult.
Jason didn’t think it could get any worse, but the universe just loves proving him wrong on that front.
Beaten within an inch of his life with a crowbar? Don’t worry buddy, I gotcha. How about we make it worse with some explosives?
Your alternate self got kidnapped and tortured by the Joker? Golly gee, really gotta step up my game now! How about we make him so fucking traumatized he will tell you which knife is best to torture him with?
Fuck. Fucking fuck. Jason wants a fucking refund on this whole dimension travel bullshit. Because this? This is some A-grade clusterfuck. He’d rather deal with goddamn Sionis on crack than— whatever this is. Jesus.
I have this idea haunting my brain noggin. Due to time travel shenanigans jason gets to literally be the adult he needed in the warehouse the day of his death(in a different timeline) How, in your opinion, does he fair?
Similarly to “Mirror Casket”, I think Jason would have a semi blackout where he either kills Joker right away, or beats him up bad enough he can’t move. Then takes his younger self, and leaves the clown to be blown up along with the warehouse.
Trauma is a powerful thing, but Jason is scarily good at compartmentalizing when someone’s in danger. Especially a child. And his younger self is a child.
Younger Jason, however, would likely NOT be happy about the killing/leaving to die thing. He knows how Bruce reacted to the Garzonas incident, and he just KNOWS Bruce isn’t gonna care about the beating he took, only that someone is dead. (Not true, Bruce totally cries when he eventually gets Jason back. A little worse for wear, but blissfully alive)
And older Jason would agonize over what to do now. On one hand, his younger self is adamant on returning to Batman. On the other hand, older Jason would like nothing more than to put a bullet in Bruce. They’re at a bit of an impasse.
So, we have two options. Either older Jason acquiesces and waits for Bruce to show up at the warehouse, or he takes his younger self back to Gotham and waits for Bruce to prove himself worthy of Robin before returning his young charge. (I’m leaning towards option number two, where younger Jason would absolutely fight him every step of the way ksksks)
I have found your tumblr!!

— sneak peek of “It Is All True” (aka. the Arkham Knight Au continuation)
Dick wakes up in the middle of the night to his phone going off. Which, weird, because he is very sure he put it on a strict “do not disturb”, and that means the only people capable of getting through… are his family.
But when Dick picks up on the third ring with his heart in his throat it’s to the voice of a phantom calling him from five years in the past, asking him for advice. Saying, “I found my mom, Dick. And— and I think Bruce is going to kick me out soon.”
And Dick doesn’t know if he’s dreaming, hallucinating, whatever, but—-
He has this one chance to fix something that should have never happened in the first place.
One conversation to convince Jason not to go to Ethiopia.
