I've had a really terrible day, emotionally speaking, and give!Jason is sort of a pressure release valve for me. I'd love to play with anyone and I'm down for anything at all -- shock and horror, anger, grief, carting this one off in a straitjacket, whatever.
This post is meta so no one has to count it toward their "Hub canon" unless they want to.
Hugs for you. Would love to help but can only play for an hour or so before I take off for the weekend. Is that okay?
[Jason doesn't know whether he wants to throw up, kill the version of himself or help him. He hovers nearby, his wing flapping twitching slightly as he watches Jason.]
We're good. I'm glad I didn't chase everyone away with the High Octane Nightmare Fuel
[Jason has his cheek pressed against Bruce's chest -- and it's Bruce, not Batman -- right above the bloody ruin where Bruce was stabbed near the heart.] Wouldn't stop. You just wouldn't stop. But I stopped him and I stopped you.
Oh fuck [Jason steps closer, his wings fluttering. He can feel the wrongness inside the other Jason's head, tangled up and broken. He kneels down on the other side of the corpse, reaching out to close Bruce's eyes. He doesn't know if Jason can see him, not everyone can but he can't bear to see Bruce's eyes so empty.]
[The memories are all jumbled up -- the flash of light on the crowbar as it was brought down on his ribs, Tim cracking him across the face with his staff, Batgirl with her hair like a fiery flag as she attacked the smugglers, Steph with tears in her eyes as she slammed a boot into his stomach and screamed something about Tim -- and Jason can't escape them by closing his eyes. He only sees an indistinct form, vaguely human, and the shape of the wings.]
No. [Jason twists, stares up at Bruce with wide, confused eyes. His face is bruised, and Bruce might realize that both his alternate's body and Jason have defensive wounds. This Bruce didn't go down without a fight.]

Won't leave me again, will you?

Found Alfred, did you, Dickie? Tied up nice and safe in the old Batmobile. Couldn't let him stop me...

He wouldn't stop. Kill his followers, he'll get new ones.
