THE STORY SO FAR

Bruce Tim in after Jack and Janet die, but decide to fulfill Jack's wish.Jason manages to get away from Batman as he was stealing the Batmobile ties by jumping in the river. Batman decides to answer the Bat Signal instead of pursuing. Later, Jason, now in a hang of street kids, loses a friend to jail, courtesy of Batman, then gets captured by the Joker with a friend of his. Batman arrives after the Joker kills the friend and severely beats Jason, and focused on the Joker only. They run away. Jason is to injured to escape. Joker comes back and uses Jason to torture Batman again. Joker ironically pushes Jason into the river. Jason is rescued by an Al Ghul and restored. He sells vengeance against Batman and Joker. When he finally least Batman's identity, he decides Tim is the weak link to exploit.
Jason becomes Tim's body guard to get close to him. Serendipitously, Red Hood meets Tim on a roof to taking pictures. A friendship begins and blind intro love.Ra's has been skeeving on Tim for 3 years. Tim thinks he's a perv that at least donated to Tim's families charities and not a supervillains, so he doesn't make a big deal about it. His family don't seem to pay a lot of attention to him anyway.
It all comes crashing down when Tim stumbles into the Batcave to see his entire family arguing over his relationship with the Red Hood. He run away with His, but there kidnapped mid-flight by Ra's. In captivity, Tim learns that Jason has been hiding his identity as Tim's paramour, allowing Ra's to take advantage of Tim's feelings of loneliness and betrayal.
Tim is isolated and manipulated to make him obedient and, eventually, receptive to Ra's sexual needs. It nearly works. But then Slade just so happens to see Tim one day and decides to share the info with Dick, and Tim's servants give him a subversive book during his isolation to help him keep his mind.
The Bats rescue Tim (and Jason, who was being "taught" how to be a guard by being beaten to the point of needing more Lazarus dips, and also starved), but one is Tim's servants gets murdered by Ra's in front of Tim to remind him of the price of disobedience. The others status is unknown.
Now rescued, Tim gets to take out all his built up great and anger on the family who lied to and manipulated him for as long as they've known him. Jason does not get that treatment, because he's Tim's trauma buddy/totem/safety blanket.
Tim tells Jason he wants to kill Ra's. Jason is okay with this plan. They meet with Slade who sells them out to Ra's. Only when they get back to Ra's compound, shit happens and Tim ends up beheading Ra's and becoming the new leader of the LOA, now known as The Dragon's Shadow. Tim and Jason fuck on the throne.
