The Red Hood

Chapter 3

I had bought a house that was in the outskirts of Canterlot. I needed a place to live, and unfortunately, I bought it with the money I had gotten during my run against Bruce. More specifically, when I had almost all of the head drug dealers under my foot. But now, I also get a monthly allowance from Bruce, since I technically his adopted son, along with Dick. Tim, he still has his family. And the Demon, well, he was Bruce's blood-son.

But let me tell you something. The way Bruce got a son was the last thing you'd expect to happen with the World's Greatest Detective. He was drugged with something by Talia Al-Ghul. Goes to show that even Bruce can get surprised. But with that incident, whatever trust he had with Talia is now gone.

But, on to bigger and better things. I just helped out a young lady. From what I can tell, she's still in school. A fashion designer, from what I can tell by her style. May go and see her again. Maybe she's a student at Canterlot High, the place where I will be finishing up my high school education. Hooray!

Speaking of Canterlot High, it is almost time to make my way for my first official day at the place. It'll be easy to catch up to whatever level they're at right now, since it's a public school. But to be honest, I'm not really looking for a challenge. If I wanted one, even the smallest challenge, I'd probably go to Crystal Prep academy. But I'm not a big fan of uniforms. Had enough of that when I was at Gotham Prep while under a scholarship from dear old daddy Bats.

"So, Mr. Todd-" I interrupted Principal Celestia before she could continue.

"Jason will do. Mr. Todd was my father, and he's not family to me anymore." I told her, as she nodded her head slowly and looked over my transcript.

"Okay then Jason. From what I can see, you were a top student at Gotham Prep, while under the Bruce Wayne scholarship there, correct?" She asked me, making sure the information was correct. And I can understand why. Gotham Prep is a well known school in the U.S, even if it's in a criminal filled city like Gotham. Hell, even people from Metropolis would risk there lives to try and get an education there. That is, if they have the money.

"You are correct, Miss Celestia." She smiled a little, and back down at the transcript. When she went back to family members, she was still in slight shock when she saw who I was related too.

"And you are the adopted son of Billionaire Bruce Wayne, and brothers to Richard Grayson and Damian Wayne?" I chuckled a little, as i brushed my hair a bit. For the occasion of school, I dyed my hair completely black so the white patch wouldn't stand out.

"Yeah. We have a weird family, and it still is weird for me. Being adopted by a Billionaire doesn't happen to everyone." She nodded her head in understanding, as she put the transcript down.

"And the last of the Flying Grayson's? May I ask how young Richard is doing?" I scoffed a little, and said "Dick? He doesn't like being reminded that his mother and father are dead. But other than that, he's as happy as can be. He's the mother hen of the family whenever Bruce is out doing business meetings or whatever, making sure everyone is okay."

Celestia laughed a little, then leaned back in her chair with her hands under her chin. "That's wonderful to hear. I always did enjoy seeing them perform in the circus, as did my sister. It was sad to hear what happened to them." She then grabbed my transcript again, and read over it again. "Now, final question, Jason. How many languages are you able to speak besides English? Spanish? French?"

I smirked, glad to show off some of my skills. "Let's see," I said as I counted the ones I could speak off of my fingers. "English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Russian, and plenty of others." Celestia was shocked when she heard all of that.

"A multilinguist then. That's quite the skill, Jason." I smiled and replied in Spanish, "Muchas gracias, señorita Celestia. Me alegro de que te guste."

Celestia finally put the transcript away in my folder, and then said to me "English will only be necessary, Jason. You do want people to understand you here. But, if you so desire, you could help tutor students who have a hard time understanding the English language."

"I'll keep that in mind, Miss Celestia." And to be honest, I did think about being a tutor later on in life, or a translator. I would have chosen that path were I not the Red Hood. Maybe if I retire from being the Red Hood at some point later on in life, I could be a translator or a teacher of sorts. Could be nice later on in life. But for now, Red Hood helping people and taking down criminals is the first priority... right next to graduating high school.

I then watched as Celestia called for a girl named Sunset Shimmer to come down to the office. As she put the phone down, I said "Miss Celestia, I don't really need a baby sitter to show me around the school. I'm more than sure I could find my own way to class. Just give me a map, and I'll be on my way."

Celestia smiled and said "I'm more than sure you can find your way to classes, Jason. But Sunset is the guide for new students that come to our school. And you're no exception." You see, there were times to fight back in this world, and there were times to not fight back. And this was one of those times to not fight back.

I slouched in my chair, sighing heavily. We sat there in silence until the door opened as a girl with yellow and red hair walked in. She was wearing a black leather jacket like me, only she had on a blue and tan dress, with light blue jeans and gray high heel boots. She looked at me, and then back at Celestia. "Is he the new student, Principal Celestia?"

She nodded her head in response, then said "Yes, this is Jason Todd. Jason, this is Sunset Shimmer. She'll be your guide for the rest of the day. If you need any questions, feel free to ask her, as she would be more than happy to help." As I got up from the chair with my bag over my shoulder, Celestia handed me a paper with my locker and classes. "You might want this as well, otherwise you won't be able know which classes to go too."

I grabbed the paper and looked over at it as I left her office with Sunset in front of me. I could already tell this was going to be a long school year.

Author's Note:

Alright, so i don't know the exact name of the academy at Gotham. So for right now, it will be called Gotham Prep. Unless there is an official name, then that's what it will be. Hopefully this doesn't upset any Batman fans out there.

Also, for the Spanish sentence for those who are unable to translate: "Thank you very much, Princess Celestia. I'm glad that you like that."

There is Aquinas High, but I'm not totally sure if there's any other higher-class schools in Gotham City.

Im pretty sure it’s Gotham Academy but im no expert.

PS: i kinda expect Shimmer to coment one Red Hood’s Jacket, just because.

Thanks for the info. I'll keep that in mind, should I decide to change it. As for having Sunset comment on Jason's jacket, there really wasn't anything special about it, except for it being custom made. So there really wasn't a point in here commenting on it, in my opinion.
