[ Jason didn't make the steps to leave, no, he heard that choked noise. It hurt something deep inside of him. Dick shouldn't cry. Dick was the only true shining light out of all of them. He can't look back. He can't.
He doesn't let himself move though. He caused this, he had to stay and deal with it.]
Fair enough. [ It was true, even if it was a question.] I leave because it's what Bruce wants, Dick. It's hard wired. I do what I've been called for and I get the fuck out of Dodge. I hurt you, you, the only person besides Tim and Alfred, who will give me the time of day.
[ He can't help but think of the betrayal he felt standing next to Tim when Dick reveled his death had been a fake... and how good it felt to sit at Batburger with Dick, Duke and Damian. ]
What would you have me do? Stay and hurt you more?
