Money to a Good Cause - For @robintohood

It's an annual thing of course. There's always some crisis that can justify this whole this. What makes this year special is that for the first time the formerly 'young' Avengers have been deemed old enough to put their names on the list. They're early bird choices, people to get up the blood and attention, which Tommy thinks is so silly.

Of course he should be later in the evening, but there's nothing he can do with that. Tommy knows he's going to go for something good. Bring in the money from some rich socialite who has all sorts of thoughts about just what you can get out of a speedster. Probably didn't help that his uncle had a reputation for how his dates go on these things.

But there he is anyway, smiling as he stands on the stage in this green-black tux that Stark had gotten him, his goggles on as he smiles and winks at the ladies that are throwing in bids.

"Oh come on," he says as another bid comes in, far too low for his dignity. "There are so many perks to a speedster for a night. Have a favorite restaurant you miss? I can get you there. Or pick up delivery."

It’s rare for Jason to willingly attend a party that requires wearing a formal suit. But tonight’s party is a special exception. Sure, it was nice of the Avengers to make it charity event but Jason’s primarily there to see if there’s going to be a feeding frenzy while Tommy’s on the auction block.

Dressed in a black suit with red trim on the jacket, Jason snorts and smirks in amusement when Tommy pitches himself again to hike up the bids. Clearly, some more excitement needed to be injected into the crowd.

Jason calmly holds up his paddle and makes a bid that’s nearly twice as much as the last one.

The crowd turns and plenty murmur upon seeing Bruce Wayne’s second scion. Jason Todd, the son who’s much more mysterious than Bruce’s first son and who only recently returned, was making a rare public gesture.
