Fics like Open Hand (or closed fist would be fine)

When he confided in the working girls one quiet Tuesday night, they each soothed his fears in turn, telling him, “no honey, what you have there is a blessing,” with a somewhat sad smile. But Jason instead thought himself cursed. What else would someone call having the power to hurt everyone close to you with the softest of touches and the most gentle of whispers? What else would someone call having the ability to kill someone with a word, whether intentionally or the horrible otherwise? What else could he call it when he remembered how the burning anger on his father’s face had suddenly disappeared? Replaced by abject apathy at Jason’s hand and his shouted command. Except it hadn’t been a command, nor a plea, only the angry words of a scared child. He hadn’t meant them, not really. Not literally. Yeah. Jason wouldn’t call that a blessing. – Or; Jason Todd is a meta. That makes everything different. Sort of.
