Chapter Text
Jason has no idea how it happened. Yet somehow, in some weird twist of fate, he ends up here. Singing. Onstage. At a bar. One second, he had been pouring drinks, working the bar, and the next, he was pushed onstage when the lead singer of the main act quits. To be fair, he probably shouldn’t have admitted he was a decent singer to his desperate boss. The band is a fairly established group in Gotham, and the crowd isn’t pleased with the delay. The band onstage is skeptical when Jason climbs onto the stage, but they follow his lead when he asks to perform a few punk covers of popular songs. The crowd is borderline irritated, but waits for the performance. Several people pull their phones out, probably hoping to have a hilarious disaster to post onto social media later.
They’re all in shock when he performs more skillfully, more passionately - than the actual former lead singer. The audience goes wild for his voice. And to his own surprise, Jason is happier onstage than he’s been in years.
After the show, the band begs him to join. Jason wants to refuse. He's shocked when he doesn’t.
