After getting a face full of Scarecrow’s newest toxin, Dick isn’t haunted by his typical nightmares. No. This one has little green pixie boots.

the Joker must die, and Alfred Pennyworth is not a man who waits on others to do his work.

Tim knows enough about necromancy to know he can't use it alone to resurrect Jason. But some light necromantic influence and other magicks combined with science? Just might work.
