[Of course he does. But when it fixes things they look wrong so he fixes the fixing. Naturally.]

[The sigh is loud enough to be heard even from across the room and up in the rafters where Jason is, purposely loud and dramatic as it is.

Fine then. Jason comes down by jumping from rafter to rafter at breakneck speed and landing in front of Dick. He might not be as much of an acrobat as Dick, but Jason's still pretty agile. Which is good, considering how easily he probably could kill himself doing that drunk.

He's in a hoodie and jeans and looks, as usual, somewhat belligerent.]


So. What?

[With both feet firmly on the ground, Jason sways a little and crosses his arms over his chest, eyeing Dick warily.

He was here because he didn't really have anywhere else to be, and Gotham was at least familiar, even if it was a shitty familiar. Dick didn't need to know that though.]


Why? You've got your team and fancy tower. Not your city anymore, but I'm not allowed in it anyway?

[Antagonizing is way easier than anything else Jason's got in his arsenal. There's a good reason it's his go-to with Dick. Everything gets real complicated when you used to have a hero-worship crush on someone and now know way too much about exactly how hard you didn't measure up to them and how well they knew it. Being a little shit - way better.

He blows out a harsh sort of breathy laugh. Of course Bruce told him. Of course Bruce knew he was there and didn't bother to say jackshit to him himself. Jason didn't know what he expected. Or yeah, he did. That. He expected exactly that. Not a word and then Dick here to run Jason out of town, but only because Bruce knew Jason would leave once Dick came around, not because Dick would tell him to.]


Sure you are. Okay, so Bruce called you to play us both again. What'd you really come here to say to me?

[Maybe it's Jason's unending paranoid that's kicked up into high gear these days. But the idea that Bruce wants them to reconcile doesn't even occur to him. It made more sense to him that he'd tell Dick something like that, but know that one Jason knows Bruce and Dick know he's there, Jason would leave. So he saw it as a way to get him out of town. Not Dick's idea, hell not even his fault really. But how it was going to happen anyway.]

You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine. Bruce'll find a new Robin, you'll have your team, and I'll get a new city. I'm not an oglib ... obliga ... you don't gotta check me off of a list you look after just because Bruce told you to. [Jason frowned, almost pouting as the tipsiness caught up to him enough to stumble on the word.]

[Predictably, Jason shrugs the hand off and tries to spin out of reach. He's a little too wobbly to manage well and teeters just slightly before catching himself, deflating from angry just a little.]

I don't have one of those, remember?

[He'd had a mansion and then the high tech team tower bullshit, and now back to square one. At least he had more skills to start off with this time.]

[Jason shrugs, doesn't really answer. He doesn't have one other than "places". There's always empty apartments to crash at, or some rich asshole who's off at their summer home.

And if there's not, there's plenty of ways to find a bed for the night.]
Not what? Begging for a room at the bathole? Nope.

[God, what the fuck was wrong with Dick? Why did he keep coming back? Driving Jason off and then coming back after him when Jason left. Jason might be poison, but at least he knew how to take a fucking hint from fate.]

Just stop, all right? Stop HELPING, stop trying to fix me or save me or make me better or whatever you're doing. I'm fucked up, and you can't FIX that, so just let me go fuck up on my own, all right?

[It hurt way less in the end, when he was just on his own instead of trying and getting close to people who turned on him because they didn't need him anymore, or because they realized he wasn't worth bothering with in the first place. Bruce, Dick, Rose - they on a list, they didn't make it up. Jason might feel dumb as shit some days, but he learned eventually.]
robintoo: (006)

[I do that too! It's really easy to hit on accident on the mouseover dropdown.]

[personal profile] robintoo 2020-08-31 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Sometimes Jason really hated Dick for being so hard to hate. Even when he was an utter asshole, it was hard to hate Dick Greyson, somehow. It was worse when he wasn't being an asshole.

He snorts, because yeah, he's fucked up, they both know that. Pretty much anyone in this hero game is screwed up beyond reason. But Jason's pretty sure he's got the lowest return on investment of any of them. He half thinks that's what Bruce was going for, after Dick. Someone who wouldn't ever be TOO good a guy.]


You don't HAVE to help. You don't have to do anything for me. But fine. Whatever. I'll crash with you and go in the morning. [Jason was a dumbass, but he wouldn't have driven like this anyway, and he wasn't gonna leave his bike. He might hock it for a cheaper one later, but he wasn't going to leave it.

He did shrug off Dick's hand, but less vehemently this time, and just turned to go grab a duffel bag that he slung over his shoulder, managing not to actually spill his drink at the same time.]

[No problem at all!]

[Sometimes Jason doesn't want it to be a fight. A few times he'd even thought it didn't have to be. But usually those times came to bite him on the ass, so yeah. He was a combative shit and he knew it, and he expected it to run most people off. Dick just refused to be most people. It was annoying.

He follows Dick out and then snorts at the question.]


Only if you do.

[He climbs on behind Dick, wrapping his arms around the guy. Much as he'd shoved Dick's hands off of him, like this Jason cozied right up to him, chest against Dick's back and arms tight around his waist, hips snug against his. If he was gonna get bossed around, babied, and have to haul himself out of Dick's with a hangover tomorrow, Jason figured he might as well enjoy this part, and whatever else Dick was, he was hot and he wasn't going to push Jason off a motorcycle for hanging on to him.]

[Jason hangs on for the ride, not paying all that much attention to anything but the feel of it. He hadn't wanted the helmet, but he put it on reluctantly, and wishes for the wind in his hair during the ride. He settles for feeling it bite through his clothes and the contrast of that against the warmth of Dick in front of him, the bike beneath him. He's just drunk enough that all of that feels better than it normally would and he doesn't care about questioning why.

Jason would argue about where he belongs, and that's probably why Dick doesn't say it, or keep driving. The safehouse isn't one he's been in before, and he just climbs off the bike and pulls off the helmet, hair everywhere and that faint sway to his step again before his equilibrium rights itself.

He silently helps clear the place, and then plops down on the nearest soft surface inside, taking the glass from Dick bemusedly when it's offered. He's never going to understand this guy.]
I'd have been fine. Not like this is some kind of special occasion. Why do you care? Really? I'm not Robin, I'm not on your team. We don't owe each other shit. What do you want? [Maybe sometime he'd get an answer that made some damn sense.]

[Jason doesn't understand Dick, and it shows everytime they talk because he just can't always accept what Dick tells him. Jason had come at him once with mostly-own walls, when they first met. Yeah he'd needled him too, because Jason was always Jason, but he'd been genuinely excited and admiring, too. That was long past them, and now Jason just does with Dick what he does with everyone else - even Bruce, now. He looks for the hidden motives in everything.

Just wanting Jason around can't be a reason, because people don't want that. So there has to be more to it. Maybe it's a thing with B, maybe it's an ego thing, where he has to succeed where the Bat failed.

Jason's tired, and he's still just a little drunk, and he can't work it out, and fuck, but it's old trying. He rubs his hands over his face.]


I don't sleep in a ditch. I can take care of myself. I did it before I was Robin, I can do it now that I'm not. I don't need you. Why do you want me there? You've got a team, anything I can do you can do better, and the rest of them are fucking superpowered. You don't need me for shit. I don't belong in the Tower anymore than I do in the Manor, and no one wants me there anyway. You know how fast it all went to shit last time. So why do you keep pushing?

[Jason watches Dick come in closer, but doesn't move away. The shoulder beneath Dick's hand tenses, but he stays.

He thinks Dick cares because he's obligated to. Because Dick wears the hero cape and that's what he's supposed to do. Because the Bat told him to, so he feels like he has to. Because he saw Jason nearly toss himself off a roof because he had in in his head that he probably should have just finished the job when Slade started it.

He doesn't think Dick cares about him. Why should he? What the fuck is Jason to him? Jason's the same thing he's always been. A broken part, leaking something toxic that corrodes anything near him. Bruce realizes it, Dick's just too stubborn.

He isn't better off alone. He's incapable of anything else, but alone, and everyone else is better with him that way. Dick fucked up his team and with Slade's kid, yeah. But he's not going to get that. No one's better off never knowing him.

So he's wrong about getting it.]
I think you have no fucking clue what I want or what it's like. [If he knew what Jason wanted, he'd be a lot less likely to be here, since one of the things Jason wanted was him.] I think B handed you a project you didn't wanna have to handle and now you feel obligated about it because you know I'm fucked up. I'm not your fault to fix because Slade dropped me off a building and I tried to jump off another one. You don't want me around anymore than anyone else does, you hated it too. I get it, you're a good guy. You still don't have to convince yourself of it, all right?
