Until one night he is out for a late night carriage ride he comes across someone like him.
Undead, not living but not dead.
Stitches together and beautiful.
He decides if he is going to live forever he might as well have company.

The Drake family is old, so old they don’t need to attend social events. Everyone knows there crest.
But in reality there was only one Drake.
Tim Drake.
Older than the country itself, unable to age, unable to die. Stuck in a cycle of loneliness and isolation.

When he finds the Wayne house filled with laughter he breaks apart.
Bruce tries to kill the monstrosity, and he thinks he does but you can’t kill the undead so easily.
Jason. Hurt and barely held together by loose stitches is found by a noble from a few towns over.

locked in the Tower he was reborn in, his only company his old books he read while alive the first time.
He read them over and over desperately waiting for Bruce to return, but he didn’t.
Eventually Jason leaves to go home himself, something must have happened because his dad wouldn’t just leave

But Bruce claims he came back wrong, quieter, more introverted (really he is just traumatized from being dead so long.)
Bruce abandons him to return to Wayne manor.
Where Dick and Alfred have no clue Jason is back.
