Note: Thanks go out to Sephet and Faile_Neume for putting up with my flailing over this story idea, to Daggerpen for doing the same and nudging me in the direction that it pretty much had to go, and to Shobogan for being the best Babs roleplayer ever and helping me find the character's voice. I split this into two parts because I've been sitting on this story FOREVER.

The Heart Already Knows

He didn't have much chance to get to know Jason when he was alive.

No, that's a lie. He had his chances, but he rarely ever took them. He'd been angry with Bruce, too angry to see past his own hurt and rejection to the young boy in need of a guiding hand. In need of a big brother.

Oh, he didn't stay away the entire time that Jason was acting as Robin. After Alfred mentioned his growing concerns over how violently angry Jason could get with certain criminals, Dick managed to swallow his pride long enough to go back to the manor and at least attempt to socialize with his replacement.

Inspired by saphire_dance's idea of writing a fanfic for 'prompts' from her Word-a-Day calendar, I went to Dictionary.Com for their Word of the Day. I kind of stole her idea and wrote about very-early-post-COIE Jason Todd. ^^;;;

Rating: PG

Go to Chapter Four

(Urk. I need to reformat my tags... probably c: instead of chara:... when I'm not so sleepy.)

I hope that this chapter wasn't too confusing. Like I said, in the narration, Jason is referred to as "she" and "her" (although sharp readers will note that I tried to avoid pronoun use in places); the characters (with notable exception) are still thinking of Jason as "he" and "him".

I know that the prompt says Pre-Crisis Jay and Alfred, but Alfred informed me that he was far too busy to appear in my story for much longer than he did, and Bruce wanted to get some attention. My Bruce muse has only EVER spoken up when I write Pre-Crisis or Pre-Crisis-esque stuff. I don't think the Batman in my head likes being Batdick the Batgod.
