Summary
Red Hood was only active for a handful of months when Joker was killed. The unnatural rage that had burned within him smothered considerably, causing his plans of revenge on the Bats to come to a screeching halt. This leaves his family still unaware of his living status.
With the thought of returning to his family seeming laughably impossible, Jason resigns himself to existing solely as Red Hood. It was fine. It would be easier if he stopped trying to form new bonds with his old family as Hood. It would be a hell of a lot easier if he wasn’t trying to parent an estranged Robin.
Like Jason said, it was fine.
He’ll figure it out.
Or: Jason slowly realizes that he missed being part of a family. He does something about it. Kind of.

Or: Hobie drops off a package for Gwen. He decides to have a chat with the head of the house.

Summary
Reality hasn’t quite sunk in yet, he thinks.
It’s not until he takes a step back, not until his foot crunches on something hard and triangular, that the sheer weight of what’s happened crashes down on him. His body is trembling, his stomach churning, and there’s a hot stinging pain behind his eyes as he lifts his leg to get a look at what he just stepped on.
It’s no bigger than a bottle cap. Could be some bit of debris, but no, it’s caked in blood and patterned with an unmistakable texture. The little piece of shell is like a knife—it even drew a bit of blood from the bottom of his toe. And dammit, it’s not the only piece. He’s standing in a minefield of shattered turtle shell.
Raphael thinks he might puke.
---
IDW Raphael reflects on his relationship with his genius brother, whose facial expressions leave something to be desired.

Summary
It’s not like Don is doing this for fun, he reminds himself as the olive-skinned turtle makes up four fresh syringes and starts measuring out doses. He’s his doctor and his brother, he only has Mikey’s best interest at—
He blinks, eyes suddenly fixed on the band of cloth fixed tight to Don’s upper thigh. “Dude, what’s wrong with your leg?”

Summary
He waits until Leo is finished catching popcorn from Mikey’s tosses, then subtly touches his forearm.
Three quick taps. Then three slower. Then three quick again.
It’s a simple code, but it means something specific to the two of them: that Donnie needs out of here, and it’s on Leo to make that happen.
Five times Leo comes to Donnie's rescue, and one time he returns the favor.

Summary
"Don't blame Leo for trying," Raph piped up, a bit tense, and Donnie immediately bit down on his lip to stop himself from shouting in frustration. "We kinda can't ignore it, buddy. You're always doing… y'know."
Donnie glared daggers at him. Raph flapped his hand around in lieu of an explanation.
"How articulate of you," he ground out, trying not to sound too offended.
"Y'know," Raph repeated, intelligent as ever. "Your thing."
"Your ninpo," Mikey interjected. "You do that thing. I think Barry called it projecting? With your feelings."
Donnie's heart sank into his stomach.
"I what?"
(or: despite his insistence, donnie doesn't actually function like a machine. he finds a way to try and change that.)
