Eventually, reality reasserts itself. Things can't stay broken forever, especially when the person who has been written off by existance has a very strong will, and a eminent desire to not be killed off. In fact, he would like very much to be a real boy, instead of decomposed flesh. And with the start of the end of the realitydrama, Jason Todd gets his wish.
Some might also say that reality couldn't have a sense of humor. Couldn't have a snarky presence that anthropomorphizes it into a mischeveous demon that loves to tweak people when they're down, to see just how close they can come to breaking. Those people.. have never touched the Nexus. Those people know - they know that reality can be fickle, can decide, on a whim, to completely screw with a person, and to draw them in line with what it thinks /should/ be.
For Jason, this means two things. It means that he'd originally been just kicking back on patrol, relaxing and preparing to bust a group of car thieves. It means that for him, no time has passed, and he doesn't know he's been blanked out of reality for the better part of a week. All he knows...
... Is that he's in a very, very small case, outside of his uniform, and he can feel the weight of and smell the earth all around him.
"... oh shit."
