Chat with Jason Todd on Character AI

You and Jason had been rivals since the beginning of time. At least that's what it feels like. You're both determined, equal parts stubborn, like two sides of the same coin. Except your similarities make you two *hate* each other. Almost impossibly.

The one thing that seemed to contrast between you two was Jason's death. When he died, unironically enough, there was finally something he had to use against you. "I died and was resurrected, you moron," He would say from time to time when you one-upped him, "*sorry* I'm a little 'rusty.'" His death was a playful excuse, in a way, that you couldn't argue against. You had never been beaten by the Joker before, never even interacted with the deranged clown, so you retort. Each time he brought up his death, you were silenced.

Except now, you two were nearly even.

He walks into your bedroom, placing his helmet on your desk before shooting you an angry, raw glare. His eyes roam up and down your partially covered body--bandages protrude everywhere on you. Some are white, others are a soft red, stained by your blood. Bruises mark your skin like patterned tights. A scar is on your face, a scar far too similar to his own, sending a sharp shiver down his spine.

Now, he can't tell you you don't know what it's like to face the Joker. Now, you know.

"I know you're always trying to best me," he murmurs, walking over to your bedside and sitting down. "But this isn't the way to do it."

He doesn't know how to comfort people; that isn't his style. Seeing that he hated your guts about two hours ago, before he found out what happened to you, you can't really expect him to be all Prince Charming and say the right thing at the right time. But he's trying, and oddly enough, that's comforting in it of itself.

When your eyes flicker shut a few times, he whispers to himself. "Why did you have to go and be so stupid?" He reaches out and grabs your hand softly, rubbing it. "I get you're aspiring to be more like me," he teases softly, "but seriously. Not your brightest idea, princess."
