Red Hood, Green Heart

Summary:

Jason Todd has died before-and he hasn't quite come back whole. Haunted by shadows of his past and the weight of justice in Gotham, he finds comfort only in silence and the static crackle of Alfred's voice in his comms.

That is, until the night a portal rips open above him and a very unexpected visitor-blue-skinned, horned, and definitely not from this world-crashes straight into his life. Literally.

You're a druid from the forests of the Forgotten Realms, on a peaceful path of healing and harmony… until a bandit ambush and a wild spell gone wrong land you flat on top of a masked stranger in a dark, alien city.

Jason doesn't do magic. You don't do guns. But somehow, between Gotham rooftops and druidic spells, trauma and trust, gunfire and green growth-you might just change each other's worlds.

Chapter 1: General Info

Chapter Text

Just as I do all my other stories I will give some info on who this lovely stud muffin is.

Also I would like to note is I will be taking information from various comic, movies and animated shows there might be on Jason Todd.

Along with I myself do not play DnD however I have a friend who has all but begged me to write something with her favorite DC character so here we are.

(Any info from DnD she was my main source along with my sibling who also plays and also various websites.)

Also I refuse to put Jason Todd from Titans as he does not fit the image in my head I have but if that's whom you wish to imagine then by all means. With that out of the way let us begin.

💬 Quote:

"You let the Joker live. After everything he did. That's all I needed to know."

Once the second Robin, and perhaps the most broken of them all, Jason Todd was never meant to walk an easy path.

He was a street kid-fierce, scrappy, and stubborn-caught trying to steal the tires off the Batmobile. That alone should've been the end of his story. Instead, it became the beginning. Bruce Wayne saw something in him: potential, pain, purpose. And so Jason was taken in, trained, and given the mantle of the Boy Wonder.

Then came the Joker.

Jason's death was brutal. Tragic. Final... or so it should've been.

But fate is rarely so merciful.

Resurrected by the League of Assassins-thanks to a guilt-stricken Ra's al Ghul, who had hired the Joker-Jason clawed his way back to life. But he did not return whole. Twisted by pain, grief, and betrayal, he emerged from the Lazarus Pit as something else: something angrier, something darker.

The Red Hood.

The real heartbreak wasn't just dying-it was waking up and learning Bruce hadn't killed the Joker. That, in Jason's eyes, he'd been replaced. Forgotten. Left to rot while someone else wore the Robin mantle.

Years have passed since then. Bridges have been burned, rebuilt, and burned again. Jason walks the line between outlaw and antihero. He may fight for justice, but his brand of it involves bullets and blood. He doesn't follow Bruce's rules, and he doesn't apologize for that.

He's accepted that he's the black sheep of the Bat-Family. He keeps his distance. Keeps his pain hidden behind sarcasm, leather jackets, and a loaded Glock.

But...

Maybe you can change that.

You-strange, otherworldly, kind to your core-may be the one thing Jason never expected.

Hope.

🌱 Background & Personality

Backstory: Orphaned young, you were raised by a peaceful circle of druids deep in the Verdant Wilds. You were taught to protect, heal, and honor all living things. When you came of age, you left to travel between villages, offering help wherever it was needed-medicine, guidance, even song.

Core Values: Kindness, empathy, and seeing beauty in even the most broken things (yes, even Jason Todd)

Traits: Curious, compassionate, occasionally naive but deceptively wise

Weakness: You believe too easily in the good of others-dangerous in a city like Gotham

Healing Touch, Cure Wounds, Entangle, Barkskin, Moonbeam

Plant Growth, Speak with Plants, Goodberry

Elemental affinity: mild control over wind, water, and earth

Wild Shape (Circle of the Moon Bonus):

Can transform into powerful beasts (Ex-dire wolf, panther, bear, eagle)

Shapeshifting is second nature-though you didn't get the chance before falling through the portal

Enhanced senses in animal form: tracking, perception, agility

Beast Tongue (Speak with Animals):

You can naturally understand and converse with animals, both through spoken language and empathic connection

In your world, they often guide you, warn you, or simply chat during forest walks

In Gotham? The rats, pigeons, and alley cats have a lot to say...

Herbal Knowledge: Master of natural medicine, salves, and poisons

Empathy Magic: You can feel emotions-especially Jason's. You just don't always understand them yet.

Portal Echo: Traces of unstable interdimensional magic linger around you post-transport-could attract unwanted attention in Gotham...

💬 Quote:

"I don't know where I am, or who you are... but you look like you could use a little healing too."

You don't remember much about your birth parents-only the flicker of a lullaby and the warmth of a hand that vanished too soon. Left orphaned at a young age, your earliest memories are of mossy stone, herbal smoke, and quiet voices in the moonlight. The druids of the Verdant Hollow took you in, raised you not just with care, but with purpose.

They taught you how to listen to the rhythm of the earth, how to feel the breath of trees, the moods of rivers. You learned to heal wounds with leaves and incantations, to speak with animals, and-when necessary-how to protect yourself with root and fang. Yet, even with all the wisdom your mentors offered, your heart yearned to see beyond the borders of your forest.

And so, when the time came, you left.

You became a traveler, a healer, a quiet flame of kindness in a wild world. Whether it was tending to sick farmers, guiding lost children, or driving back a plague of corrupted wolves-you did it not for praise, but because it was right. You always tried to see the best in others, even when it wasn't easy. Especially then.

But the world outside the Hollow was not always kind.

One evening, as dusk fell over the dense pinewoods, bandits surrounded you. You stood your ground-staff in hand, magic stirring in your veins. You fought bravely, calling on the wild to protect you. But you were outnumbered. Weakened. And just as their blades closed in-

The ground beneath you opened.

A glowing tear in reality swallowed you whole before you could even shift into one of your animal forms.

Next thing you knew, you were falling-wind howling, magic spiraling-and landing hard atop a man in a strange red helmet on a rooftop in a city made of cold stone, sky-scraping towers, and glowing lights you couldn't begin to understand.

Gotham.

And him-Jason Todd- Angry, wary, and very much not from your world.

Neither of you asked for this.
But maybe... just maybe, you're what the other has always needed.

 

(ideas on how you look skin tone wise and hair length wise, however for hair color/horn type is all up to you.)
