Thank the Gods it's not true. I heard the news about Jason before it could be confirmed by outside sources.
It would be hard to explain (not to mention very messy) why I owe Jason Todd more than I can repay. It's hard to explain a bond forged first by utter failure and pain then by death. It sounds even more crazy because I've worked with others longer and during moments of greater cataclysmic importance. I've even been snatched from the jaws of death by those who have surprised and comforted me, but very few have ever become so important to me so quickly.
But I still remember being numb for days upon coming back as "Troia," and then discovering there would be someone who would never see the shift - never see me "all grown up." I remember putting my foot down strongly on adding his statue to the Hall as Robin - as a Titan.
I'm pretty sure he'll laugh and be very confused about this when he returns. May that be soon.
PS: For the record, I pray the Helena rumors on the news are more than rumors. I wish both any joy they can find.
