Let’s Talk Zombie Robins AU

Some Plot Things First (& keep in mind that Im using iZombie-zombie science with this one, not ur usual Zombie Logic™, these zombies are still emotionally/intellectually/socially functioning):

-the broadstrokes are still the same (vigilantes are in gotham, there’s significantly more crime in this city than most) but we’re taking out any mystical elements & ignoring anything outside of the city itself to solely focus on this zombie thing (just like the show, but yknow, its Batvigilantes Now). That being said-

-Jason was scratched by the Joker (who’s origin now is being becoming a Zombie & that driving him to be Chaotic™ instead of falling in a vat of acid) Jay still left to ‘die’ & bruce is ofc convinced that he is dead so uhhh cue licherally rising from the grave again lmao

-When Dr Thompkins finds him wandering around Gotham & Connects the Dots, she helps him with finding brains to sustain himself. he also takes to killing criminals and eats their brains when push comes to shove, although he enjoys those personality changes/memories a lot less

-fastforward a few years when steph is at deaths door and after Bruce has said his goodbyes to her, Jason sneaks in and scratches Steph to save her (robins gotta have each others backs ofc) this is the major conflict btwn them and whether or not Steph will join Jay in his crusade or if she’s bitter enough from being denied the Choice of being a Zombie to try to stop him

-our story will pick up around when Damian’s been turned by Steph (one of the few ppl who she’s shared being a Zom with & who regularly told her beforehand that she has his Permission to change him)

-Steph feels guilt over the decision & is working overtime with heroes & docs to find a cure/vaccine 

-MEANWHILE, Jason is fully Team Z, and is working overtime to stop Villain Zombies from initiating a Full On Apocalypse ala Z-day.

Some Other Things:

-Dr Thompkins &, later, Dr October work most closely with the BatZombies. Thompkins moreso is concerned abt their mental health & getting them the right connections for brains. October is actively working on a cure with them.

-Steph goes under the radar for a few years but stays in contact with Cass (who eventually shows her trust to take on the Batgirl Mantle when Bruce ‘disappears’ ends up Zombified & shes taking up the Batmantle alongside Dick) in the meantime Steph’s also working on her med degree to become an M.E. (bc it makes getting brains easier obvsly)

-she and Raven are in med school together in this too (bc its MY AU and i SAID SO)

-(and yes i know i said im not taking requests rn but i WILL take asks abt this AU rn since it IS october and i need to get in a Spooky Mood fjkdla;)
