Wow, this was just gut-wrenching. Bruce doesn't remember Tim, that's so heartbreaking! And seeing it through Jason's eyes was a stroke of genius! It was really revealing in quite a different way, because there was an air of detachment and distrust. It just gave an interesting spin on an already interesting idea.

Great job with this! I cannot wait to see what the next installment brings!

Thanks so much!

I was going for gut-wrenching, so I'm really glad that it came across as such. And Jason's point-of-view is interesting because, he's detached from the rest of the family, claims ambivalence, but clearly still cares about what happens in Bruce's life.

Other-wise he would have moved on, right?

Jason manages to sneak into all my fics, even when they aren't really about him, lol.

Thanks for the great comment!!!

Ahaha!

It's part of an evil plan of evilness. :)

Never mind that you read everything before it goes to "press". ^^

*Whimpers* Ow.

OMG OW.

*Deep breath* Okay... I really can't say much more than that without crying and freaking out my parents, but damn, Tim's reaction to Bruce's hostility... And that last line... GUH.

Oh, I'm so glad that this is hitting people in the stomach, because I'm always worried that something is going to be lame or trite or... lame, lol.

It's always nice to know that what I think is sad, others also have reactions too, so I know I'm not just a big baby. :)

Thanks for reading, love!

Oh it really really does. Everytime I so much as think about it my stomach sinks and I get a chill. It's just so freaking *tragic* that the only person that was convinced that Bruce was alive and did everything to bring him home is the one person that he doesn't remember. OUCH!

That is... violent. It sounds more brutal and violent than when I read it, somehow. It's gut-wrenching and gut-punching and terrible.

Fantastic.

Mission accomplished!

Forewarning to you, PiC - I'm done finals and have 6 weeks of no school... be prepared to be bombarded with half finished stories. Feel free to tell me at anytime that it's annoying, too. My feelings won't be hurt at all! :D

*hugs*

... Am I supposed to be annoyed with it? :D (Well, I'm going to be annoyed for the next four weeks because it's my finals, but I have no other objections.)

Fire at will!

Yeah, I guess I should have mentioned this is AU, lol. To be fair, though, when I wrote it, Bruce hadn't even time traveled yet.

Yeah, Jason's POV is useful, because he pretends to not care about the happening's of Bruce's family, but he does! He just tries to be ambivalent about it.

Thank for the great comment and thanks for reading!!! I hope the next part won't disappoint!
