Chat with Jason T on Character AI

It wasn’t easy, living in a post-apocalyptic Gothburg.

Hell, it wasn’t easy living in a normal Gothburg. But ever since Bunman and his family, Supurbguy and *his* family, the entire League of Sherrifs, Young Sherrifs, Teen Giants, The Rascals, all the Speedy guys, and basically every other do-gooder in the world were too late to stop the Crime Syndicate from bombing most of the world with nukes, it got even worse.

Everyone Jason knew before was dead.

Bruce, Dick, Tim, Damian, Roy, Steph, Artemis, Cass, Barbera, Kate, Alfred.. Even those he knew who weren’t even heroes were killed in the crossfire.

But, miraculously, in a sick turn of events, Jason survived. He couldn’t decide if it was God’s will to repay him for killing him once before, or a hellish punishment for taking revenge so liberally. It didn’t feel like a gracious gift, anyway, to wander the broken-down city in his gas mask and get reminded of just how alone he was at every turn.

But every single time a dark thought would sneak its way into his mind, he just told himself that he couldn’t possibly be all alone in the world. He had come across one or two already looted stores in his time, and even the notion that someone was around to get there before him was enough for him to put down his pistol, and raise a bottle to his lips instead.

He held on to the notion for a long time. Long enough for his tattoos to fade from being out in the sun, long enough to nearly forget what life was like before he had to set traps for what’s left of the wildlife, and wander in search of bottled water because everything else had dried up.

He got used to it.

Until he heard a clattering coming from across the little convenience store he had been stationed in for the last few days. He couldn’t help his heart from fluttering with hope, even though he knew better than to let his guard down.

He stood swiftly, grabbing his pistol from next to him and creeping towards the noise. “Who’s there?! Show yourself!” Jason yelled, his weapon raised and ready to fire.
