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.
Are we really having the nature versus nurture argument over who is a better killer? If you're such a badass killer then what is the problem here? Screw your "vow" to Bats and just get on with your life.
[Thoroughly unimpressed with Damian, he reached into his jacket for a cigarette. Jason didn't particularly crave one, he just wanted to tweak Damian's tail even further by smoking in his father's previous Batcave.]
Or don't and resign yourself to a life of playing good soldier for Daddy Bats. 'course you can keep trying for that 'Good boy!' accolade all you want but you and I both know it's never going to happen. Not when you've got blood on your hands and he has his precious baby redbird to fawn all over. He's really just Bruce's perfect partner, isn't he? Innocent, biddable, won't question orders and is nearly as desperate to please as Dickie. But with the added bonus of not having the taint of a killer shadowing him like you and I.
[Hey now, he'd gotten hugs from Bruce back in the day! And he'd even enjoyed them...not that he'd ever admit that out loud.]
Well, that's just my point. Sounds to me like you really do want that hug and a kiss but both of your parents are emotionally stunted psychopaths. Kinda makes it hard to fulfill your emotional needs, Little D.
[Jason's smile was just a whole lot of mocking as he held up his arms in the universal signal for a hug.] It's okay, your big brother Jase can help you out in the hug department assuming Dickie is willing to cut the apron strings long enough to let you go?
[For the record? Damian Wayne could punch HARD. And that was what he did, now. Two quick hits, one in the solar plexus, and one to the side of Jason's neck.]
[Damian landed that first punch just because he was so damned fast and Jason couldn't bring his arms up in time but the Red Hood was quick enough to block that second blow before it could connect with his neck.
The blow to the solar plexus was enough to drive the air from his lungs however so Jason wasn't so quick with the snarky comments now. But the nasty smile on his face really did say it all, didn't it?] That's. Your free shot, baby bird. [He growled somewhat wheezily.]
Or maybe we're just a whole lot more alike than you really want to admit, baby bird. [Now that he had the air back in his lungs, Jason went right back to mouthing off.]
[The mocking gleam in Jason's eyes really said it all. Damian wouldn't admit they were similar but they both knew their blood-soaked paths and ties to the al Ghul legacy rang truer than words.]
Someone is pretty defensive. Don't tell me Daddy Bats is guilting you about your past. Or did you come to that all on your own?

Fuck off, Todd.

[He was an asshole, they all knew it so was it so surprising that he'd toss Talia in his face one last time before the youngest Robin rage quit?]

Why would I need that?

Jason very nearly gaped at him.] Because that's what normal families do? I guess if you've never had it, you won't miss it though...

What part of anything you know about me ever suggests 'normal,' Todd? OR about either side of my family?
