Summary
“So, Jason. I took a look at your file and… I really think you should be dead. Let me explain!”
One of the worst parts of Danny’s new job is to make sure there’s no stray ectoplasm in the living realm. To make sure it doesn’t corrode the Mortal Realm, to take back what has escaped from the Infinite Realms. To take care of people like him.
It’s a horrible job, and he’d doesn’t want to do it. But even with a case like this, he has no choice.
Red Hood is revered in the Infinite Realms. Jason Todd is loved in the Mortal Realm. Danny isn’t allowed to just leave him be. But… Maybe he can make a different offer than to take away what keeps his conscious bound to his revolved body?Or: When Jason can’t continue his zombie life anymore, Danny pays him a visit to make an offer.

Bookmarker's Notes
"I'm not going to ask you why you're out here, kid," Jason nods. "That's your business and you don't know me or Dick to trust us."
Not true. Tim trusts Jason Todd and Dick Grayson with his life. Just not with, the other stuff.
"But," Jason continues, "if you want to tell me what got you here, or you just want to talk about anything, you can."
OR
When Tim's parents find out Tim's secret, they kick him out. Now, on Thanksgiving, Tim is living on the streets and is thankful for the two strangers currently saving him from getting his face pounded into the pavement...
