Regarding...

[demon_brat]

Does it not occur to you that it may be for the better? I would prove beyond the shadow of a doubt what I chose and what matters to me, and there won't be anyone who can undo it. No more questions.

Just... peace.

That is a load of crap. Take it from someone who's been a dead Robin, it sucks. There is not peace, there is just nothing. [Without the Red Hood helmet, Jason looked far too young to have that many shadows and darkness in his eyes.]

Besides, are you really going to let your damned Mother win?

[demon_brat]

And how is 'nothing' not peace? Compared to... [one-shouldered shrug. His life. All of it.]

And no, I shall not. Taking away both of her sons at once, leaving her with nobody to manipulate and nobody to hold over Father sounds as close to victory as I can get.

[here_take_this]

would you really want that though Damian? [Because she hates the idea of him well...]

[demon_brat]

It is a better option than many of the alternatives.

[hackingyoursensors]

You can do all of that without dying.

There's no way anything would be better with you... gone.

[demon_brat]

Death doesn't make anything better or worse, Grayson. It just is.

And maybe I can.

[He's not going to die on purpose. But he's tired.]

[donna_troy]

We aren't always given a choice in our departure from this world. Sometimes the best we can do is to g out fighting until our last breath.

But for what it's worth, I think you do more in the world than out of it.

[demon_brat]

Mine seems to have been decided. And it is not me who is objecting to it.

[jungle_cat]

[Look Damian. A giant cat.]

What may be for the better?

[demon_brat]

[... it's not even the strangest thing he's seen.]

An outcome to a forthcoming... interaction.

[imaginate]

The world is going to be a lot drearier if you aren't around, little bat.

[demon_brat]

Not funny, Rayner. Even you must be aware that most of the people who've ever interacted with me would be relieved, to one degree or another.

[andaway]

No.

[That's it, just no.]

[demon_brat]

>Tt.<

In the end, it doesn't matter what anyone says, does it.

[wholenewstory]

Used to think that.

Better - that I'm gone. No...risks. No mistakes. No more - nightmares. Or guilt.

It would be...fair.

[demon_brat]

I don't...

Hnn.

I don't have nightmares, I don't fear risks, or guilt. It just seems the least damaging option from the ones I see. And sometimes, it all just stops making sense, trying.

[wing_of_night]

I could scold you for thinking like that. I could, but I won't. That's not the issue. What is the issue, is that we will bring you back.

[Gently grabs a shoulder.] You understand me?

[demon_brat]

[And, at that, Damian just. Stares.]

Would you turn me into my Grandfather, Grayson?

[bodilesswarrior]

No.

Anyone who needs your death to be convinced you're a hero isn't worth listening to.

And I'll be damned if we lose another Robin. [Never mind that it the matter is quite entirely out of her hands. Fuck the continuum.]

[demon_brat]

Hnn...

[Or, rather, fuck Morrison for ignoring Babs in the title?]

You know how stubborn he can be. I am not certain there are other ways, some days.

[Though only some days.]

[spoiled_bat]

Well...that was dark.

[demon_brat]

I suppose that is the point of the situation it is referring to.

[midnightdoctor]

This can't be happening. My mun is in complete denial of it.

[demon_brat]

Apparently it is not, somehow.

[hart_or_hand]

Damian... What's going on? Are you all right? [He's worried about you, kid. That didn't sound good at all.]

[demon_brat]

I'm fine.

[Mostly.]

But what is happening to the 'me' in the current continuity at home - which is not me, either, it's complicated - is not particularly promising.

[alostsoldier]

Okay, no. I am officially declaring a ban on dead Robins. [She's a ghost, she can totally do that.]

[demon_brat]

Like that is how it works, Brown.
