[Western Crossover] Jamie Simulator

After dying in an accident, Jason was bound to a cat simulator and given a chance to come back to life, though he returned as a cat.

But the simulator said that if he beat up 100 cat underlings or found a cat owner, he could turn back into a human. Jason rubbed his paws together, ready to launch his recruitment drive. But within a radius of several hundred miles, there were only a handful of cat-like creatures, and every last one of them could run like the wind.

Jason: Forget it. Time to activate Plan B.

Of course, it was easier to pull a stunt like this on someone he knew. Unfortunately, that person was far too wary and didn't seem like the type to take a stray cat home. In the end, Jason had to stage an accident.

And so his first cat owner watched helplessly as a cat flew out of nowhere, crashed straight into the Batarang he'd thrown, then hit the ground with a "thump" and lay still:

I didn't imagine that, did I? It ran into it on its own... That doesn't count as me hitting it by accident, right?

You only die once, and then countless more times. After turning into a cat again, Jason successfully pulled the same stunt on his second cat owner. Once he'd scrounged food and shelter, he even felt a rare twinge of conscience before leaving and brought the owner a stray cat that looked roughly similar.

Looking at the "replacement," which had nothing in common with the original except its fur color, the new cat owner couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

The next cat owner was very easy to fool, though escaping was twice as hard. But Jason, now a seasoned cat, wasn't worried at all.

After all, no one would guess that the 200-pound boss of the Red Hood Gang had anything to do with a tiny cat weighing just a few pounds.

Reader advisory: An irresponsible flight of fancy with lots of original headcanon. Some characters may be out of character.

This story brings together quite a few childhood favorites, such as Jurassic World, Jackie Chan Adventures, and The Chronicles of Narnia... The author is terrible at naming things, so the cats' names might feel a little out of place.

The cats are different breeds at different stages thanks to the simulator's skin system. In essence, they're all Jason...

Theme: The world may be falling apart, but kittens are here to patch it up
