Part 3:
The recording fizzled a bit as it started which was the first indicator that this was not a recording taken in the cave like the other one. The cameras there are much more advanced.
But the biggest indicator was probably the nice decor the video was showing Jason, despite it being around 3 AM when the video was recorded.
He recognizes the room as one of the manor’s sitting rooms not to far from the main entrance.
For now it seemed to be empty, but Jason had a feeling it wouldn’t stay that way for much longer. He can already hear faint footsteps through.
Bruce storms in. Quite literally so as he looks as though he’s been walking through a thunderstorm and was still dripping water onto the floor.
He wasn’t in his Batman attire. He also wasn’t in a suit. He wore a simple black turtleneck and sweatpants. He was clearly not taking care of himself as well, if the bags under his eyes had anything to say.
He still looked terrible, the recent injuries from fight with Clark had barely healed yet.
Speaking of Clark he came in close after Bruce seemingly frantic.
„Bruce, please listen!“
Bruce started to put wood into the fire place.
“C’mon, Bruce. Please! It was a mistake, please listen to me!”
But Jason’s father only grabbed a box of matches and started a flame. That was a good idea he should get himself warm.
“I didn’t mean to, Bruce! Really! This is just a misunderstanding!”
Bruce took off his turtle neck and put it aside.
He had a stern look on his face. One that forced even Jason to wait and await Bruce’s judgment.
His Dad took a deep and suffering breath.
“Don’t lie to me.”
“What? No! I’m not lying, Bruce! I swear!”
“Really, you’re not lying?” Bruce was angry, his voice took on a bitter tone. His gaze became steel.
“You tell me you didn’t mean to ignore Alfred the entire week?! Hell not even only that! You ignored Dick too! I know that they have been calling you! As well as me! Because you just took off to good knows where and haven’t been home since you arrived in the garden an hour ago!”
“I’m so sorry, but I was not thinking straight!” Clark pleaded “I needed some space to get my head together”
Jason could admit that guilt was written all over Clark, but if it was up to Jason he’d look a whole lot more sorry and guilty.
“You needed to get you head together?! That is such a great reason to ignore your family and stay at a colleagues house! Dick doesn’t want to see me, so you are currently the only parental figure he’d accept right now? But you weren’t there!“
Jason doesn’t think he‘s ever seen his Dad so close to tears
„And I didn’t even know that you weren’t off somewhere in the galaxy until Lois gave me a heads up that you’re coming home! You are right with only one thing! You weren’t thinking!“
Bruce turned away from Clark
“Bruce please, you’ve got to understand!” Clark was pleading
“You gotta know that I never signed up for any of this!” Clark isn’t gonna say what Jason thinks he’s gonna say. Is he?
“You gotta understand why I might need a break from your family in such a situation”
Holy shit!
Clark didn’t just-
But he did
“EXCUSE ME?” Bruce was furious “A break from MY family?! Not OUR? As if you haven’t been living with the boys and me! You’re also their family!”
“Well it’s not my name in the adoption papers, is it!”
“You know that doesn’t matter! It doesn’t work that way!”
“Well the law says it works that way!”
“So since the law says so you aren’t family? ”
Jason could tell Bruce was suppressing tears. Clark though, in his angered state wouldn’t be able to do the same. Even if he did Jason wasn’t sure he’d care.
“No! I’m not- I- can’t- don- I don’t carry that kind of responsibility”
“So you aren’t family at all! And you don’t want to be??? You don’t want to be my family?”
“No- I-“
Clark took a deep breath and answered
“I guess I don’t”
