( this isn't even his first round with a mini me. it is, however, his first round with one this similar. and he hates it. hates seeing all the ways they're similar, hates the differenes even more because all they do is make him think about how much better junior is. )
[ Dick has the benefit of being much younger than his other self. And he generally isn't consumed by self-loathing.
Still it'll cause a lot of problems if they can't at least tolerate each other. He assumes the others will side with the older Dick rather than him, if it came down to it.]
( which makes sense, doesn't it? they're the same person, of course they'd look like each other and also - dick's father. john, jason's memory supplies, a guy he hadn't met but knows the importance of regardless.
dick leans forward, and jason moves a hand down to ruffle his hair. )
I know it's weird as hell, but we'll get through it.
[ Dick's not sure how to feel about that. It's nice, maybe, but looking in the mirror and seeing his dad has to have been jarring the first time he noticed.
If he ever did. His memories of his parents slip away more and more every day.
Dick freezes at the hair-ruffling, but doesn't push Jason away.
Ruefully: ] Not much of a choice but to get through it.

( better than jason and junior, at least. hell, jason handled having a double better when he was just a brat rather than someone so--similar to him. )
He's had time to adjust to a bunch of Robins running rampant 'round him. You're just a little closer than the rest of 'em.

That's one way of putting it.
[ He sighs and leans forward, resting his forearms on his thighs. ]
He looks so much like my dad.
[ Which makes sense, of course, but it threw Dick off so badly the first time that he could hardly look at his double. ]
