[Jason woke up inside the mansion, gave it all a cursory look-through, and promptly noped the hell on out of there. Ain’t nobody got time for this Wonderland theme park bullshit - especially not the Red Hood.

Of the available options, the forest seemed like the best way out, so that’s where Jason is now, trampling through the brush, snapping twigs underfoot as he mutters his complaints into the comm device:]

This would be going a lot easier if there had been any vehicles worth taking …

[The sounds of movement stop, and Jason sighs loudly. He is Officially Lost, and he wasn’t in the best mood to begin with, so he’s understandably a little tense in addressing whoever might be listening.]

All right, this is officially stupid, and I don’t have time for stupid. Got much bigger fish to fry, so I’ll get right to the point. Whose head do I have to stuff in a duffel bag to get a map of the way out of here? Tick tock, losers, answer fast – Daddy doesn’t like being kept waiting.

You sound surprised he replaced you. [So that narrowed down the when this Todd was from.

Okay, hit in the head jokes, Todd? It's like you're trying to make pissing you off easy for him. Every Robin had their talent and cutting words was his. Starfire said it best herself. “Robin’s words are like knives.”]

While you should be the voice of poor judgements after head trauma, you are wrong again.

[Damian deadpans but smirks into the camera.] Make it out of that forest alive and I'll show you why I am and always will be the best Robin.

Nothing surprises me anymore, kid - you think you know me so well, you oughta know that, too.

[Why wouldn't Bruce replace him, honestly - Jason wasn't good at being Robin, wasn't good at falling in line and following the rules. Wasn't good at being someone Bruce could care about, as evident in the fact that he couldn't take it upon himself to avenge Jason's murder.

Whatever. This is fine. Jason already knows Bruce doesn't care - he wouldn't stop the Joker then, and he wouldn't stop the Joker right before Jason showed up here, either. So he replaced the stray from Crime Alley he'd taken in with an actual son. It doesn't matter.]

And you can keep the tights. I outgrew them a long time ago.

Well now who sounds like the quitter? [That defeated tone does not suit you.]

I was not planning to hand them over regardless. They'd look ridiculous on you anyway. You're way too old.

In case you missed the memo, kid, I was already quit with the cape. Funny thing about a crowbar and a room full of explosives - tends to make your decisions for you.
