It was cold and rainy out. But then again, it was Gotham. That was every night. Jason sat on a gargoyle overlooking the city, with his knees to his chest.
He wasn’t sure how much longer this would go on. How much longer he could be Robin. Or at least Bruce’s

“And?” He tossed the paper

He gave her a gentle embrace, closing his eyes. To think only a few years ago he had been a street rat
