Summary
Jason Todd was proud to say he was unshakeable, with grit like no other.
However, halfway through his patrol route he stumbles across a little boy with dark hair and blue eyes, looking for his parents outside the movie theatre.
Bruce Wayne.
OK, maybe Jason was a little shaken.
~~
Jason hated this. This had to be some sort of magical bullshit. Or a parallel universe breach. Or one of Scarecrow's more elaborate psychological torments.Jason knelt down, in lieu of getting to Bru- the kid’s level.
The resemblance was undeniable now. Jason could trace the future in those features - how puppy fat would give way to a stern jawline, how those bright eyes would develop shadows from countless sleepless nights, how that perfect smile would one day bear the slight asymmetry of a tooth damaged in combat with Bane. The future he couldn’t even imagine was writ upon the kid’s face.
~~
Bruce gets de-aged and its difficult for everyone involved.

Summary
Gotham was literally cursed but no one believed Bruce. He took it upon himself to fix it and after decades of searching, that solution came to him in the form of a little blue vial. Bruce was to take the curse within himself to temper it into something manageable.
He thinks the others would call him stupid and stop him if they knew about this, but (un)fortunately for Bruce, his family hasn't spoken to him for forever. There was no one here to stop him.
He downed the liquid and woke up as his nine-year-old self.
Ch3 Excerpt:
“Mother, do you remember those funny clouds above people’s heads I told you about? Well, I’m doing something about them but the process is very lonely. Or not. I think it’s just me. I’m the problem. I can’t seem to get people to like me enough to stay. I know–-… I’m aware that it’s due to my own shortcomings but sometimes, it feels like even the worst monsters have people that love them and yet I have no one.”
Bruce let out a humourless chuckle and rested his forehead on his knees.
“I just wish there was someone that cared about me.”
