[Jason leans a little further out, enough that if Dick were to let go, Jason would fall to his death. The wind rushes now and it's almost enough to put Jason fully off his balance.]
[ it doesnāt take much for Dick to yank Jason back, until both of them are tumbling backwards off the parapet and onto the gravel of the roof. his brows are pinched as he straightens, rolling up onto his knees beside Jason. ]
You donāt wanna be my brother anymore? Is that what this is about?

He thinks itās the Lazarus Pit.
no subject
Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised.
[ a frown sets into his features, as he looks away and out over the city. ]

I'm a burden to Bruce. He looks at me like I'm a bomb about to go off.

[And Jason leans over the edge, just enough to feel the flow of wind brush past his face. Just enough danger.]

he drops his sandwich to reach out for Jason instead, grabbing onto his upper arm as the sandwich tumbles over the edge. ]
Youāre Jason Todd. [ he turns to face Jason, his dark eyes intense and filled with emotion. ]
Youāre my brother. And thatās enough.

I donāt care what the death certificate says, youāre still my brother.

That shit's in your head, Jason. You're nothing like me. No one expects you to be!

[Jason is crawling up off his back to his knees.]
no subject
[ he doesn't move, just stays close to Jason as Jason gets up.]
Bruce is Bruce, none of us can change the shit he thinks, but just because he thinks it, doesn't mean you have to live by it.
in the process of making a titans!jason account >>
Easier said than done.
[And then Jason swings at Dick.]
oh my gOD. GIMME.
[ the name doesn't even completely leave his mouth before he's dodging into a back roll that takes him to his feet. ]
Stop. Stop, I'm not fighting you.
