    Summary

    "Whatever. As long as he's silent and pretends like he doesn't exist."

    Rouge's lips pursed as she looked away, looking awfully guilty all of a sudden.

    He narrowed his eyes in suspicion, "What?"

    Rouge stretched her arms out on the table, tapping her fingers awkwardly, "Well... I don't think he's the silent type if I'm being honest."

    "You got me a talkative bodyguard? Are you serious?"

    ~~~

    In light of recent online threats, Rouge insists on getting Shadow a bodyguard.

    Sonic is just happy to finally get a fresh start in life.

    Summary

    After the confrontation, Jason decides that enough is enough. He pulls himself together, holds his neck closed, and intends to carry on with his life, sans-Bruce and everything he stands for.

    Then, the Joker escapes from Arkham. Again. No matter what Jason does, he can't force Bruce to change. But he's done playing by Batman's rules, and done letting Gotham suffer for one man's ego. His plan is perfect, flawless, except for one little blue and black irritation who happens to tag along.

    But that's fine, Jason had dealt with better than the likes of Grayson before, and it's not like he's blameless. Both of them left Jason to die in the tower, so both of them must suffer. Right?

    Or: Maybe the real saw trap was the family we found along the way.

    Summary

    He wanted to believe it. It would be so easy. A simple hum of assent and they could be on their way. Jason would be free. He wanted to believe it. He didn’t.

    He thought about leaving. Walking away from the conversation. Escaping into the night. Jason would be free. He thought about leaving. He didn’t.

    “Really?” He knew the answer.

    “No,” Dick confirmed.

    Because if the conversation ended, if Jason walked away, he would be free. But Dick would remain. In a cage that wasn’t a cage. In a trap that didn’t need a trigger. In a space he’d grown to fit, not a space fit to grow.

    Sequel to "the punchline would be devastating"
