What if Dick was never adopted by Bruce, and he grew up under the Court's care then eventually grew out of it and into an independent presence in Gotham.

He knew Jason since he used to frequent a library that Dick somehow owned.

And then Jason disappeared with Bruce and then vanished completely from this life, leaving a devastated Dick in his wake, who then proceeded to avenge him but Bruce ended up reviving the Joker, but even then he was not really completely back as an able individual.

So after years Jason comes back and he's angry that someone outside the family took care of the Joker and deprived him of his own revenge.

So Jason decided to strike a relationship with the beautiful librarian of his youth, to get close to him and his alter ego as a get back at him. Except that Jason find he is actually quite in love with this person. He is utterly sweet with him and gives Jason such a soft kind of love that Jason had always needed but never really got in his life...

So Jason Todd and Dick Grayson build a happy and wholesome relationship between the two of them.

That, as long as the sun shines high in Gotham's skies.

At its nights though..

Red Hood can't really hold the darkness that crawled back up with him, from his grave and the pit. And Talon can't help the immense guilt of failing Jason over and over again. So they enter an un-negotiated bdsm/ D/S relationship.

As long as they are wearing their masks Red Hood is allowed to use Talon however he wants. And Talon accepts the abuse, relishes even. It's his penance.

They live this double kind of life, and they don't talk about it at all in any way.

Until Jason eventually almost crosses a borderline that might have cost Dick his life or mobility. A thing that finally sparked real fear in Dick's heart of what Jason is capable of and how broken he is. A thing that grows a distance not only between Talon and Red Hood, but between Dick and Jason too.

So, how do you think they are going to face this from now on?
