Jason Todd : Battle for the Cowl

The city has gone to hell since Bruce was burnt to a crisp by Darkseid. Also Damian is trying to kill us all since he thinks he’s “the only one who should true Son of Bruce Wayne."

He started by trying to kill Cass While they were playing a video game.

He came out with a knife, and was slapped in the face by Cass Well I should say bitch slapped the kid flew across the room into a ming vase.he tried this morning on me aknife when I woke up I put the brat in a wrist lock and made him cry until Alfred broke us up.

Vella clapped I didn't even know she was here. " Way to go Show that brat who's the warrior around here!'

I shrug “Why are you here?"

"I need a reason to see you now? Oh so you only want to see me when you're horny?"


Damian yells out “What’s horny?"

“Go! Away!" I admonish he just sticks his tongue out.

“Hey! So who's going to be the new Batman?" Vel asks.

“There’s going to be one?"

"Well yeah and maybe you should do it? I could be your Robin? I can disguise myself by turning my hair supersaiyan..."


Um no you supersaiyan hair looks like Steph's Robin hair It'd almost be like bangin' Brown no thanks."

"Maybe I should be your Catwoman then?" She uses her ring to put her self in a black leather cat suit.

After that we ended up in my bedroom for a few hours. That was dumb of me. Because a few hours later me, Nightwing Robin, Batgirl, and several others Got in this big fight with a bunch of dorks dressing like Batman.

Two-Face, Hush, and a few others. The best part was that Damien had teamed with Hush, and I’d been bruised up, scratched, and bitten by fun time with Vella. Si I wasn't on my "A" game.

Then when we a few others who joined in like Batwoman, and the BOP was getting in trouble the strangest thing happened the Bat Signal shined on us all. We all look up to see....

All the thugs and villains shriek “He’s alive!" Some run off others like Hush Attack "You're not him he's dead!"

For a second he took of “Batman’s" mask and screamed before getting a kick to the face. In the confusion we beat the remaining crooks.

Batgirl runs up and hugs "Batman" after he gets his mask back on none of us got to see who it was.

“Batgirl Robin! Get away from that imposter!" Nightwing orders.

" Hn." He answers. "Meet me back at the Batcave."

All of us there who know where that is meet there later and " Bats" is sitting at the head of the meeting table just like Bruce used to in the same position , and evreything.

Dick gets in his face. “Who do you think you are Mister? I saw Batman's burned corpse! You have some nerve wearing his costume!"

"Who am I? I'm Batman." before Dick throws a punch he takes off his Cowl.




"Father?" Damien squeaks. “Are you a ghost? A zombie?"

“Bruce how?" Dick asks.

“Explanation later first we have to stop this chaos in my city."

Well, well looks like Daddy's home.

Batgirl: Putting my team back together.

While Batman's been gone.. me, Nightwing Robin and ... Jason have been protecting Gotham.. and I've spent the rest of the time dating Vincent... learning to read... And stuff Barbara says I should do.

Like a slumber party... I don't get... this it's annoying.

I don't know half of these people... How did Poison Ivy , and Harley Quinn get in? Jubilee hit me with a pillow spilling my popcorn... and everyone get mad at me for breaking her nose. She attacked me.

Stupid... But I was getting used to um these kind of things when this thing that Vincent said it's was Cooler put out this um message out all over the world he captured a um Legacy team the Iron Lad Put together. he and the vampires in West City captured them including Jason, and Vella.

Sigh... Vampirella told me she would ... um take care of the vampires .. so I never did anything about them.But now they have mu friends, and older brother... I don't care if " Cooler" wants to fight Goku he's fighting us.

Vincent went to find Slobo. I went to my friend Stephanie.

I drive to her house And Come up to her, she looks up from the kitchen table



" Aaah! What are you doing in my house Cass don't you ever knock?"

" I'm bringing the team back together." I tell her.

" No Hi Stephi how ya doing? Well I'm just some girl not some supefighter I have no powers.. and Psyche! lemme get my costume."

She thinks she's funny... she's not.I could tell from her body language she was kidding. but then that's why I need her to keep me from getting to serious... that and her invisibility belt.

We meet Vincent, who's riding on the Super Cycle with Slobo.


" How did you get Slobo to rejoin our merry band?" Stephi asks.

" Told him he was acting stupid and we can protect ourselves and each other from Lobo."

" Then he called me a p#ssy." Slobo says.

" Vincent..." I start to lecture.

" Naw don't worry about it Batty It was just what I needed ta slap me outta my emo well and what do ya expect when he's been raised by probably the rudest guy in the Universe."

Vincent grins. " yeah probably let's go save my sister huh? I talked Goku out of fighting Cooler But he ain't going to wait forever."

I just need to call one more person..." i um tell them I call someone who's been annoying to be on Legacy since Inertia died...Supergirl.


We all meet at the coordinates... and Vincent whines.. " Oh man my ex, and my girlfriend in the same place this sucks."

" Aw you're just afraid me , and Cass will talk about you behind your back." Kara grins.



I come up with a plan quickly Vincent Slobo, and and Supergirl go in with all their big noisy powers. While me , and Spoiler rescue the others. That didn't go as planned when this vampire guy stared at me, and Spoiler ... he was creepy.

Vincent got into a fight with him. and the rest of the Vampires didn't seem to notice me and Steph already went invisible. I um sneak towards where my friends are being held when my brother Jason runs at me.

I smile under my mask " I'm glad you're safe." I notice his body language is ... wrong.

" Alcurad commands me to stop you Batgirl, and to bring you to him."

Jason... is being controlled... I have to stop him without hurting ... him too badly. This sucks.

To be concluded in the Legacy blog.

Jason Todd: Alien girls are weird.

I've been staying at Wayne Manor since Bruce well... who the hell knows he vanishes a lot. People are talking about a battle for the cowl coming uh... yeah. As soon as anyone takes Bats' mask he'll show up again.

Anyway yeah it was okay until I'd come back in from night patrol and hear something rattling around the kitchen. I wander in there, and oh naked chick I wonder if this is one of Bruce's girl friends?

Then she turns around Ugh!


“Cass why the hell are you naked? Does Bruce let you roam around like that?"

“I was uncomfortable..."

“That makes two of us Argh!" So I've been spending the night at one of Bruce's safe houses since then. I can do without little sister streaking. Next thing you know Tim will wear a dress, and Dick will try to be short Batman...

Any way I was getting with to do my morning workout when I was blown up by
Pan

Say what you want about Batman being paranoid, and all but that body armor he gave me saved my neck. I was stuck under rubble for about an hour slowly digging my way out until Vel finally freed me you know some guys make fun of me for having a girlfriend much stronger than I am...

But it seems to be a Bat Family tradition of some kind Bruce, and Wonder Woman, Dick, and Starfire, Tim , and Wonder Girl... well that and those guys all lust after Supergirl who's s bit stronger than Vel. But that's not my point my point is this time it's quite an advantage since I only got to spend an hour under the rubble, and not all day.

Anyway she gets all pissed and goes to beat up Pan... okay cool I can still do what I planned to do today. Turns out the guy running around in my old Red Robin costume was an enemy of Tim's called the General.

That jerk got me put in the slammer for a day and his distraction got me shot in the leg. He's already in prison after his last fight with Robin but Now he's gonna meet the Red Hood.

Sneaking in was easy enough. I break into his cell and he starts with the regular villain tripe. “ I trained with great masters... so I could defeat my great adversary Robin... you the failed Robin can not... Argh!"

The Argh was the part when I kicked him in the jewels. I was trained by many of those masters too, and Batman. But nothing's better than fighting dirty.

I pull a gun and think about shooting him in the head. Nah Not worth the bother I'll get from the other bird boys. I shoot him in the leg in the exact way I was injured... good enough., and he won't get some magic bean thing from his half alien girlfriend so he's gonna have to live with some pain.

I escape, and go back to the Mansion. Where the little terror Damian is whining at Alfred. I slap him in the back of the head. “You don't mess with Alf ya got that?"

“What kind of shenanigans have you been up to Master Jason?" He eyes me suspiciously.

“No one died if that's what you're asking ."

“Very good sir. You can have a cookie."

I'm really hoping that's a joke. I sit not really paying attention to anything when I'm grabbed up and put on someone’s shoulder a slim shoulder that looks like it shouldn't have the strength to pick me up.

I sigh. “I wish you wouldn't do that Vel."

“Why?" She giggles.

Tim runs out and laughs.

“That’s why." I groan. “Hey Tim shut up At least my girlfriend didn't fake her own death to get away from me like Brown did to you."

“She didn't fake her death she was really dead!" he gripes.

Sure she was. I smile as I'm being carried like a sack of potatoes out the door the rest of the night was good, and bad the good good dinner, the bad I had to clothes shop with the little princess.

She laughs. “Don’t worry it won't be all bad you get to take a bath with me.

I thought that was great until we get to where Legacy used to have thier HQ. She put all this girlie crap into it bath salts... perfumes bubbles ugh.


Too much damn pink in this room too. Later after we dry off we, and put some clothes we run into The mini version of Tony Stark. “Oh good glad you two are still here. I'm putting together a new Legacy And you two are prime candidates, and wait...why do you smell like Flowers 'Hood?"

Stupid bath perfume....

Batgirl: Batgirls united

I was at um.. Inertia's funeral. I don't get these funerals And i said it out loud...

Vella speaks up. " Hm some one's talkative today, and a bit morbid too." She smiles. " We'll just bring him back with the dragon balls when they regenerate in some months." I see Jason wince.. at her saying that.

Must be nice to be live that people always come back... then again Superman was dead...Conner was dead... I look across this graveyard, and I see a Flash that used to be dead. Why can't the man that my father made me kill as a kid come back?

Supergirl um bounces up to me. " Hey! Batty I was going to ask you if you need a new member Well I can help ya out."

" I don't... know When I lead Legacy someone died. ... Not sure if I want to lead anymore.

" Oh bat angst nice. Well here keep my number, and call me when you're recruiting. "

Great I can barely read her number.I guess I could get Vincent to read it... but I haven't seen him in a few days. After that was over, and I had my share of dirty looks from Anthony Stark Jr.

Later at the Batcave... I sit Staring... at the computer.Wishing Batman were here.. So I could talk ..or Nightwing or Robin. Or someone besides the annoying Damian Kid Or Jason...

Ugh Why does Batman have to vanish every once in a while? As I sit thinking... I don't notice. Somone walk in. " Wow it's unusual for someone to sneak up on you."




I sigh. " Not another alternate universe or ... um reboot."

" Nope it's me no universe reboot or anything Cass." Barbara smiles.

I grab her and hug her. "You can walk again!" her body language is a little weird about it though. " Hey while the boys are wherever. why don't we protect Gotham?get into costume."

This is weird... I was always told that if Barbabra walked again she'd take the Batgirl name from me But she wants to um team up.. I should have known.. she's never really been that um mean to me. So I'm ready.

We went swinging through the city. Until we saw this weirdo in a moth suit.



He's strange looking.

"ohhh man I don't be live it! My old pal Killer Moth!" Babs laughs "I thought you were run out of this city years ago! robbing a bank? Really? Wow! Like old times."

" Who's this Batgirl? Your ugly little sister?" Moth guy spits.

" Sister ? Soon yes. Ugly no. It's actually too bad she hides herself behind that mask anywhoo We'll just kick your butt now."

All these guys dressed like moths try to attack us. I beat them down while Barbara charges Killer Moth Whiles she's not a as good a fighter as I am, she didn't do all that bad.

I watched her back knocking out the guns from henchman's hand is or just knocking out sneak attackers. Then all of the sudden there was a popping sound and Barbara fell in a heap.

" I don't know what happened to you batgirl

I um step in front of the moth man and Barbara. "Oh what are you going to do tiny?"

I break his arm, and leave him tied up for the police, I swing Barbara, out of there.

" Ah stupid exoskeleton!" Babs yells.

" you can't walk?" i ask.

" No it was an exoskeleton made to look like my suit I was I ... well I just wanted to go out one last time. After the Weirdo with the Cosmic Cube made me Batgirl again Seems dumb huh?"

" No... Why did you want me to come along?" I um question.


" Well you always were like a student to me I guess I just wanted. To fight along side you for once if I stayed Batgirl you'd be my sidekick now." She laughs.

" No I'm the better... fighter." I say. " You're just the pretty one."

" Hey! I' m the brains! You're the brawn! Just take me back to the Clock Tower." She sighs.

" What did you mean you would be my sister?" I ask.

" I'm marrying Nightwing remember?"

" Well you'll be... better than my real one."

Hey Bruce, Tim, Dick, Jason, and me are your real family. David Cain only wanted to use you as a weapon. Family isn't always about blood."

After taking Barbara back to the clock tower. Nightwiing tries to give me an um Pep talk about leading a super team.

I guess I feel a little better Now after talking with Dick. Inertia did um... make his choice to sacrifice himself.

i return home.. and find a Vincent waiting on me asleep.

I guess it's a good thing... Bruce isn't here.... he wouldn't like me bringing Vincent up to my room.

My stalker

Nightwing thinks he has it bad. He has two stalkers. Clark's smitten cousin. Supergirl

And Flamebird who used to be the first Bat-Girl, before Barbara Gordon.


Me well yes I have had my share of stalkers. Katherine Kane The First Batwoman, Aunt to Flame bird, and related to the new Batwoman Kate Kane.

Of Course Ex girlfriends like Catwoman, and Talia Al Ghul would come back every once in awhile. But then next one well bothers me a little, Hush.

Yes the villain that that Spoiler calls "Trench coat Mummy". He was a kid who I was friends with as a kid, until my parents were shot, and I began my crusade. He was creepy as a kid, Tommy Elliott was creepy as a kid, and he's creepier now.

He first became a villain when he pulled the old “Send every villain after me then face me when I'm weakened “gag. For a while I thought he was just another super villain with a grudge.

Until recently when we fought I felt that old creepy vibe again. He would call all the women I'd been with “whores" And saying they weren't good enough for me. Then he'd start reciting poetry. At this point I almost miss Poison Ivy.

But what he did lately really took the cake. He had plastic surgery to look like me.


Now he wants to take over my life and "be" me. Oh yes like Superman, or Wonderwoman or many others wouldn't notice that. Sigh I never thought I'd say this: I miss the days of Batwoman.

Jason Todd/RedHood rumble in Gotham

I was having a nice time... Rubbing my girlfriend's smooth legs while convincing her to get nude... Vel got her stop off when freaking Damian comes in, breaking the window.

“Kid what are you doing at the Bat's safe hose."



The kid gives me a snotty look. “I’m telling father you're cavorting with a gutter skank in his house you zombie!"

Cavorting? The brat's been around Alfred too long. “Hey!" Vella protests. “I’m a princess! I'm not some ho he picked up... I actually pursued him... and what are you staring at?"


I slap my forehead "Vella put on your shirt. You've probably jump started the Son of Satan's puberty."


She uses her ring to recreate her costume." Um Why are you still staring at me... hey Jason I'll se you later he's really creeping me out. Bye!" She flies in out the window... While I'm feeling... blue if you get my drift.

“What do you want you little C-blocker?" I growl.

“What’s a C-blocker?"

" Never mind, Bruce is probably going to kick my ass for you seeing Vella's melons I don't wanna get in more trouble so again why are you here?

Tim was chasing me around with a butterfly net... I came here until father returns I didn't know my zombie older brother and his freak girlfriend where here."

“Yeah you thought she was a freak when you were drooling over her half naked body weren't you? And I'm not a zombie!"

“You were dead and buried weren't you?" He grins “if you're not a zombie then what are you?"



" Well you see Superboy Prime hit a wall somewhere..."

I just realized how stupid that sounds... "It was magic okay."

We glare at each other. “Well since I'm not getting laid tonight I might as well get into a fight. SHIELD is after me wanna help me warn 'em off?"

“What’s getting laid?" he questions.

"Gah! Go on the internet or ask your friends or something."

Anyway a little later Red X is on the prowl.

And as predicted he's jumped by the Black Widow. She fights him pretty well but I think she notices the difference in his fighting style.

I laugh from the opposite roof “you got suckered! That’s my little brother is wearing lifts... I'm right here! You could beat one of us Natasha... but both of us I don't think so. You don't have to do this I registered so I'm not outside the law."

“Your little gang war was outside the law Nick wants me to bring you in!"

“Uh huh that’s not going to happen. So you can leave or I'll send your head to Fury in a duffel bag. "

She shoots one of these Widow's bite things. My body armor protects me and Damian jumps her from behind I told her she couldn't beat us both She tosses off the brat and I throw a punch at her jaw. She rolls with this but the glancing blow does still makes her see stars.

While she's trying to get her bearings Damian shoulder blocks her under the knee. She pulls a gun I shoot it out of her hand with mine. “Nice try Comarade." I put my gun to her head. “Any last words not in Russian?"


“Nick would never let you live after this."

“He should have thought of that before sending you after me ... he could have just left well enough alone but noooo."

Before I pull the trigger a disk with a bird on it knocks the gun out of my hand. Wonderful; "Red Robin" again.

Man Vella was right that costume is ugly. “So are you some alternate Earth me? Or just some douche who found my old costume in a dumpster, and decided to be a thrift store superhero?"

He doesn't talk but I can smell the dumpster on the costume man really wash the thing. “Red X This one is mine!" I order not that it matters... he was staring at Black Widow's chest. Sigh Batman is gonna kill me.

I take out the only good thing that Tim Drake gave me... the unbreakable crowbar.


Red Robin blocks the hit swing I hear a crack when it hits his wrist. “Surprised this thing can break the body armor huh?" Well here get more surprised." I slam
It into his ribs he falls gasping for breathe.

“I pick up my gun “Alright let's finish this."

“Do we have to kill this one?" Damian asks staring at Natasha.

“Yes, she betrays everyone her own country every guy she's been with Fury will thank me for this."

Next a Batarang knocks the gun out of my hand “Oh come on! Okay Tim you wanna fight... Oh Shit!"




Batman I'm too shocked to put up a fight before Batman throws a hard punch in my jaw. “I told you no killing, Red Hood."

“Are we in trouble father?" Damien asks.

“Yes you are. Widow! You tell Fury I'll take care of Red Hood, and to keep his spies out of my city."

Bruce chews me out after I wake up back at the cave. “It’s obvious you've been looking for attention since you left SHIELD, maybe even before. Fine you have my attention, Now you pay attention to me killing solves nothing Nightwing tried to kill the Joker, yet he's back out there causing chaos.

“Nightwing ... avenged me? And the Joker came back?"

I should have known Richard was cool with me as Robin.

But if the Joker can come back... then what I'm doing is as useless as Batman.

Batman growls, “if you want back in you have to stop killing."

“I’ll think about it." I snort. Yeah the problem is I really will have to think about it.

Batgirl:Leading is tough

I um, hate talking into ... this thing. But I can only read a few words. Everyone thinks I'm trying ... to stop Slade out of revenge. It's not that. I don't like what he did to... Ravager. She was never my friend. We don't get along. But I don't want her controlled like ... I was. No one deserves that.

We just beat some of Slade's Society friends. Including a now evil Mary Marvel.

Vincent grins... “Babe. I think it's a trap." I can tell by his body language that he is uh excited at the fight that will come. People wonder why Tim ... introduced us. I think Tim knew I'd like Vincent.


I ignore him can't think about him... now the mission comes first... like Bruce taught me. “So how are we getting to the New York to Penthouse to find Slade?" I ask.


Inertia pips up “I can be there in a second."


Iron Lad growls. “Yeah so you can warn your buddy The Terminator that we're coming no thanks."

"I don't owe One Eye nothin' Iron Wimp!" Thad spits.

“Stop fighting!" I order. Do my older brothers Dick and Tim have to go through this mess... with the Outsiders, and Titans?"

"I got a jet in my pocket." Vincent smiles.

My best friend Spoiler goes" Eeew! Really don't share things like that!"

“Not what I mean Stephanie." He shakes his head, and takes a small metal capsule out of his pocket he pushes a button, throws it into a clearing, and it becomes a huge plane. “Welcome aboard Air Briefs."



As we're flying. Vince and Vella make fun of their nephew. Iron Lad flies, the plane Inertia paces all nervous He doesn't like not running... I wonder if all speedsters are like this.

Stephanie wanders up to me. “Is this worth it?"

“Huh?" I ask.

“Rose Wilson has been nothing more than a thorn in both of our sides. She's constantly flirting with my boyfriend. Hell she brags he beat you once, even though you beat her once too."


I shrug. “Neither one of us was ourselves in our fights... Steph we've both had problems with our dads. Would you want someone to help you If Cluemaster did this to you?"

“Yeah but it's not our thing Cass. Rose is not our responsibility."

“I know your scared ... of Slade." I state.


“Okay a little, but I also don't give a damn about pirate girl. We have our own city to protect why're we doing this?"

“You can leave... Stephanie. No one will blame you." I say.


She sighs. “I’ll blame my self."

The rest of the way is silent. When we get to the pent house Slade was waiting on us. He babbled on about... how his drug brought out my true nature, and how I won’t tear apart his family. I only have one answer for him.



At that minute Match, Enigma, Evil Wondergirl Clone, Ravager, Sungirl, and a bunch of ninjas attack. Of course it was a trap...
