Dylan fearing for the life of his family would refuse to return home and try not to get them involved in the life he has in him now.

Jason would catch Patriot and The Outsider’s attention after being hurt they would bring him to the warehouse and save his life. There Jason would learn his hero was his brother. Dylan would face the issues of him leaving his home and being Patriot. Jason would train with Dylan and learn how to fight and become a vigilante of his own. After a few months Dylan would be convinced to go home to let his parents know the truth that he is alive. But then would leave again Dylan’s father and Jason would be the only people to know the truth of him being Patriot. Dylan would time and again visit his family. While training his younger brother he would deal with the frustration of Jason wanting to be out there with him but for his safety was not allowing him. Jason would eventually disobey orders and in turn save Dylan’s life.

Detective James West as a father is proud of his sons and despite not approving of it he does at times work to protect them from the law at times. James eventually learns Dylan is alive and respecting Dylan’s wishes keeps it a secret for a little while. Patriot in the early days was avoiding returning home afraid that his family wouldn’t accept him and that even if they did they would be in danger because of the life he lives. Staying away for a while Dylan did what he thought was best. Detective West would work closely with The Outsider, Patriot and at times Night Prowler to help protect people. Despite not being a hero like his son of having special abilities or powers James West has the heart and the spirit of a hero. His will and determination is one proud example of what it means to be a hero a symbol of hope not behind powers or a costume but his actions. James is a man willing to do whatever he needs to but his faith never waivers and his morals are never in question. Detective James West is an ally to some of the world’s greatest heroes and he puts his life on the line to prove every day he is one as well.

His inspirations stem from his father Detective West and his older brother Dylan West aka Patriot. These inspirations make Jason a better hero. Like siblings they love each other but they aren’t always in agreement. Dylan and Jason work together for a while until Jason begins working on his own. Jason would become a very key role in the Patriot team and would begin to establish herself in another city. At times returning to help Dylan out. Jason would eventually begin working closely with the **Runaways**. A team of sidekicks or apprentices from heroes and vigilante’s. An incident where some of the greatest heroes disappear Emma Elizabeth, Grayson Xanders, Jason West, Nadia Hall, and Jennifer Cedina work together to find the person responsible. After saving Earth’s heroes they would team up with this new team to save the planet. After these former “Sidekicks” would work together to form a team of their own. Performing as a covert team that is there to continue the fight. They are called the Runaways. Jason unlike Susan works closer with Dylan when it comes to training Jason would not be in the field for almost 2 years. Jason does not possess the abilities Dylan or Susan has and works hard to keep up with them despite the lack of abilities he has.
