[ He doesn't know Kyle well, but he's a GL and Jason trusts him, so that's enough. And it doesn't take a world-class detective to figure out Kyle and Jason have something with each other. ]
he's handy to keep around, especially given the tower's about as secure as we're going to get and we're leaving that behind in nyc
( it'd be easier if they could just shove everyone into the tower, but that's not happening. so they'll just have to build their own elsewhere. eventually. )
( an awkward conversation to have with his baby big brother, but -- )
i'm not hiding it our relationship started with spending about a year beating the shit out of each other while traveling the multiverse with his ex girlfriend if we start acting like assholes with each other, it's normal
good because if you were hiding it, you two were doing a bad job. thanks for the heads up now i won't have to fight him for the sake of your honor or something
one of these days i'm going to fill you in on all the stupid shit you haven't lived through yet and you'll find your "fighting is something special you guys share" bit even more funny than i do
[ He supposes they all are. Even Dick, still so young, has a relationship with Bruce that's hard to define. Bruce is complicated and flawed, but he's still struggling to reconcile the Bruce he knows with Damian's Bruce and Jason's Bruce. It's a futile effort, he knows, but his Bruce is the only template he has for every other Bruce. ]
( there's a lot he can say in response to that. he could tell dick about all the bullshit he and bruce went through. he could talk about tim, about damian, about dick. or cass, duke, harper, steph--there's a lot he could get into. he's a good man is a response, and it wouldn't be an incorrect one even if would be an incomplete one. jason instead settles on what he knows to be fully correct and true, because it's--less weighty that way. )
I'm not a good person. There's been times when I was significantly worse than I am now, an' B and Tim got the brunt of it. Bruce did what he thought was best. But a lot of my. . opinions of Bruce're shaded by my own bullshit. I love him as much as you do, but any answer you get from me's gonna sound jaded, an' you should get it from Dick first before you get mine.
i know you can take care of yourself but i also know that this place is dangerous people vanish with the confluences and we unearthed a conspiracy to sacrifice every starfallen to a crazed goddess
