As Jason was a fully-grown adult when all this happened (being already thirty years old when Helena landed on his doorstep), they're practically his children and he treats them as such.

* ''Fanfic/OneDayAtATimeFanfic'': In the backstory, an adult Jason Todd was forced to raise his younger sister Helena Wayne after the death of her mother Selina Kyle, with help from his sister Cassandra Cain. This is due to Helena's father Bruce Wayne (Jason's adoptive father) having been dead since before she was even born, with all of Jason's brothers following him five to seven years later. Years later, he also had to raise the orphaned [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond Terry and Matthew McGinnis]] after learning they were also Bruce's biological sons. As Jason was a fully-grown adult when all this happened (being already thirty years old when Helena landed on his doorstep), they're practically his children and he treats them as such. In the first chapter, Helena even expresses disgust at the idea of Jason being her brother, as he's firmly her father in her eyes.
