After being expelled from the Brotherhood, Qin Luolang, whose mental state was far from stable, met a man with even more serious psychological issues.
The man in a hood started his first business in a bathroom. After that, even though they agreed to work hard together, it was as if they were following completely different scripts.
On day one, the man with the red bucket for a head went rooftop parkouring at midnight with his lonely old dad and unlucky big brother, while she tormented Black Mask.
On day two, the man with the red hood ran out to beat up his innocent third brother, displaying his talent for taking out his anger on others to the fullest, while she tormented the Penguin.
On day three, the furious former Robin went head-to-head with his bat-dad in the dead of night, while she tormented the Roman.
On day four, the new crime boss of Gotham's East End finally remembered he had a gang to run. Only then did he discover that, thanks to his dedicated deputy, the Red Hood Gang he'd founded not long ago had already become the enemy of Gotham's entire underworld.
"What's wrong, boss? I told you I had plenty of experience."
"..."
"You can just praise me directly, boss."
Two people who believed they no longer had a home seemed to have built a new family together, until they were forced to face the things they'd been running from.
Our mentor taught us that nothing is true and everything is permitted. But if we've committed sins because we misunderstood the creed, what must we give up to reclaim the things we once thought we could live without?
Qin Luolang thought it probably had to start with recognizing her own mistakes.
A crossover between DC and Assassin's Creed.
Pairing: Jason Todd. One-on-one romance. An Assassin expelled from the Brotherhood x an antihero vigilante.
Content warnings:
It's recommended that you read Under the Red Hood first.
Jason and Bruce are closer to their post-Crisis New Earth versions here, so Jason will sometimes act like a villain.
The female lead will also act like a villain at times early on.
Theme: The truths you believe in should come from your own thought, not be handed to you by someone else.
