Summary
Percy had, briefly, entertained a fantasy of a triumphant return to Gotham. He’d get a blessing for the Waynes and finally prove he wasn’t fucking crazy, and come home to Jason and get to know Dick and get a chance to try again and, and, and—
At the end of his first quest, Percy took the opportunity to get on a library computer and check what was going on back home: if his disappearance had been noted, if he'd managed to hold off a direct manhunt despite his truly prodigious bouts of national attention.
Apparently he had. What he hadn't been expecting in his search was the widespread reporting on the death of Jason Todd.
He went back to camp in a daze. Luke tried to kill him with a pit scorpion. And that, kind of, was that.Years later, adrift after Tartarus, he finds himself pushed back to the city he once called home. All he has to do is keep his head down. Because he's just so great at that.
