Summary
Dick is freaking out. He’s been cursed and is currently having some strange out-of-body experience. He can’t touch anything and his body is just lying there. He needs his family’s help to figure out how to get back inside his body, which wouldn’t be so difficult if they didn’t think Dick was dead. He’s not.
Jason can’t take it anymore. His brother is dead. Waking up every morning and realizing that fact is so, so hard. Now, Dick is in front of him as a ghost. Jason is familiar with death, how lonely and scary it is. Dick doesn’t deserve that and he especially doesn’t deserve to have that fear and pain prolonged. He needs to find peace and move on. It’s probably impossible to move on if you don’t even realize you’re dead though.
Or: Dick is sacrificed by a cult and must discover whether or not he’s actually dead.

Summary
There’s dirt in his mouth, his eyes, his nose, his fucking ears. There’s entire ecosystems underneath his fingernails, digging into his body and taking him over, filling him up with dirt until there’s nothing of him left. He can’t feel anything– he can feel everything. His lungs squeezing with each minute that he goes without air, his broken and bloody nails screaming in pain as he claws through the dirt. His muscles are so tired, begging for him to just take a break, stop for a moment and rest, but he can’t, he can’t go back– he needs– he needs his dad. He needs to see him, to be back with his family, to have them hold him and take care of him and tell him that everything will be okay.
or,
Jason comes back completely sane, and his first task is to find his family. Too bad they dont seem to like that.

Summary
He smiles, all teeth, “Come on Replacement, I even got to the door with both legs busted. This should be nothing.”
“You’re right. Jason… Jason wouldn’t have given up. He would fight, I can still—“
The boy wobbles, and Jason has to suppress the mortifying impulse to jump to his aid.
“I can still fight. Batman needs me.”
“That’s a terrible idea,” he muses aloud, and if there’s a hint of real concern somewhere under all the roiling green, well, nobody can prove it.
