So what if you can see the darkest side of me..

who: Jason Todd
what: October Catch All & Memeshare
when: 9th-22nd
where: All around.
warnings: This post will be full of triggery things as Jason's life has been a horror show. A quick overview, child abuse, drug use/overdose, under-aged smoking, child death, buried alive, and murder, illusions to drowning. Angst, buckets of angst. Anything else will be updated.
Note: Unless otherwise stated or plotted, each person who tags in will get a new memory. Feel free to poke me at [plurk.com profile] opticon Dreamscape's can and likely will get more than one memory. Some memories will not only have text, but also pictures in which they were pulled from.



A: Mom checked out (Drug use and violence implied)
It looked like a abandoned room. No power, a dirty wooden floor, bare wooden walls and a mattress on the floor surrounded by candles. The most beautiful thing in the room was the woman laid on the mattress. A bandage on her arm. Her red lock's dyed black. He hated when she dyed her hair, but what she does when he's out he can't stop, out of everything she does with her life a bit of dye was the least bad.

"You see, Mom... I hurt someone today. I was getting us food." He spoke to the unconcious woman as he held her hand. She was the full focus of his attention. Guilt laced his voice. "I know you're not hungry much right now, but you need to eat something. Some guy came out of the alley. He tried to take it from me. From you. From us. I just got so angry, I couldn't think. I started hitting him over and over. When I caught my breath I saw blood on my hands. I let him run away... I mean, I think he's fine...but I didn't mean to do that. I didn't want to..." He rambles before tears start streaking his face falling from his eyes.

He knows she's not listening and he feels helpless. Nothing he does is helping her. "I wish you would stop taking that stuff. I wish you could hear me... I miss you." She wasn't going to answer...

B-Meeting the Bat

It was like any night, for Jason anyway, moving quietly through the streets of Crime Alley. People left him alone for the most part. Which in return got him left alone, again for the most part. Taking a turn down one of the desolate alleyways when he saw it. The Batmobile in all of it's glory. Well, why not. He thought as he moved forward with his tire iron. The big bad Bat's car didn't look like it was that protected. So he kneeled and got to work.

Once he had one tire off he heard someone clear their throat. Looking up his eyes went wide. "You do realize thats the Batmobile, right?" The voice spoke Batman was bigger than life. But he didn't run, no he did what he did best. He smarted off.

"Duh, you do realize you parked your car in Crime Alley, right?" Batman moved forward towards him and Jason swung out at him with the tire iron, he really didn't want to go to Gotham Lockup with his old man. The man dressed as a bat caught the Iron like it was nothing

"You wanna beat up on a kid, go enlist in the GCPD like every other bully in this city." He hissed at the man, who was now lifting him like he weighed nothing. That deep voice spoke again.

"I'm only going to ask you this once. So give some serious thought to your answer." Then he smirked, when Jason spat out a quick reply of 'what?'. "Are you hungry?"

---
Now sitting on the hood of the Batmobile Jason was scarffing down a burger and fries. It was like heaven at the moment.

"Slow down, Jason, You're going to lose a finger."
"Sorry" munch munch "This is the closest thing I've had to a home-cooked meal I've had since..." chomp "... I had a home."

He looks up realizing where the hillside their parked at is. "Funny, I was here once. Looking for Wayne Manor. Trying to case the place but I got lost."

The Batman looks his way. "Why do you think its okay to steal from other people?"

"You kidding me? Look at this view. Freaking "billionaire playboy" think's he's king of the world. Pfft." Jason grumbles as he eats.

"Sometimes you have to give people a chance, Jason. They'll usually surprise you." The bat spoke before silence swept over them and both ate quietly.

C: Dig Lazurus Dig (Buried alive, illuisions to drowning, and pain)

Darkness, darkness all around. It was hot and stuffy this much was clear as Jason opened his eyes to the purest blackness. Trying to sit up he knocked his head into wood before realization sank in. "BRUCE!" panic building in his chest, he knew exactly where he was. It was a coffin. "BRUCE!" His hands moved looking for anything, ANYTHING. His belt buckle was all he could find, Forcing himself to calm down. Instinct taking over, if he panicked he would run out of air.

The belt buckle was used to tear the silk and hit the fine wood above. It took what felt like forever his nails long ripped off as he dug himself up, forcing himself to breath slowly. His hand shot up through the dirt, he was lucky Gotham was always so rainy.

He pulled himself up out of the dirt taking deep breaths now, nothing seemed focus anymore. A few steps and down he went....


His eyes opened again, green liquid obscuring his view. For a moment he sees a beautiful woman above the water, her eyes wide... was that fear? What was happening? Then the pain rushed through like fire.

It burned, and yet he felt like he was drowning and couldn't escape. Her and reached down and pulled him up. "Come now." She spoke quickly. He knew her.

"Talia."

"Yes, your story is not yet over, Jason." She spoke in that beautiful middle eastern accent of hers. Next they were running, he had so many questions.

"Whats happening!" He called to her as they reached a cliff-side and she shoved a duffle bag in his hands. "You are unavenged! Do not go back to him, learn before you react." She spoke quickly, dragging him up and kissing him fully on the lips before shoving him off the cliff. Him and the bag falling as she turned and ran the other way. Jason watched the world spin around him....

[ She did as requested, making a quick pit stop somewhere to pick up some beer on the way. Probably something she thought he would enjoy more - she wasn't planning on partaking at the moment.

When she found Jason outside of the building having a smoke, she broke one of the cans of beer off the packaging and held it out to him as she approached. ]


Special delivery for Jason Todd?

[ Even tired and stressed as she had been as of late, she managed to pull a very typical D.Va response to being called a 'goddess,' which was: ]

I know.

[ as she moved to stand beside him, setting the rest of Jason's beer on a nearby window ledge before leaning against the wall. ]

It's not your fault, all this memory and dream crap has just been out of control. I didn't even know you could change and stop it.

[ She cast him a sidelong glance. That last memory with his mother dying... she hadn't stopped thinking about it. ]

... can I give you a hug?

[ She smiled because, well, she knew that, too. But she was glad that he didn't seem averse to the idea of a hug, even if to her, it was because of what she saw. That, and— the last couple of nights had been so rough, either with reliving some of her own worst memories over and over, or with witnessing her friends' worst memories. Rather than a beer or an alcoholic drink, Hana was beginning to think that she would sooner have an energy drink. Maybe just refusing to sleep would be the best way to keep those dreams at bay.

...In any case, she stepped closer so she could wrap her arms around him, resting her head against his shoulder. Maybe she needed the hug just as much as she thought he needed it. ]


I know. Just shut up and accept the hug, Jay.

[ Her petite frame was swallowed up in his as they embraced, but Hana found it more comforting than suffocating. She could only hope it was comforting for him, too. One of her hands rubbed slow circles on his back, a soothing gesture as she hummed in response against him. ]

I don't think badly of her. There's no way I would. I don't think badly of you either, Jay. You did your best, and I'm sure she loved you for all of that, 'kay?

[ It turned out, for all of her unbound self-confidence and energy, Hana could be soft and sweet, too. But not around everyone. ]

[ She stepped away once they let go, letting him have all the space and time he might need. She'd been through this rodeo with a couple of people, already, and usually she was the one who needed comfort - so she was just trying to do unto Jason what she'd received from others through this strange time with everyone's memories being flung around.

His suggestion had her smiling, although it went sideways into a smirk soon enough, unable to resist the chance to sass him, saying, ]


You sure you're not gonna get all weepy on me a second time when I kick your ass?

[ She quirked a brow at him as she followed suit and stepped through the door to get inside. ]

I wouldn't be so sure about that. I've made a lot of grown men cry, you know. But you're definitely welcome to try! Just don't get too salty when you lose, 'kay?
