absolutely adore the whole idea of Damian only feeling safe requesting help from Jason because of their time at the league together, but GOD it would also be so good if it was the other way round.
Jason fucking Todd, fucked up mind to the EXTREME. pit issues, childhood issues, Bruce issues; he has a lot of... well. issues.
he never feels safe. he can't feel safe. the pit sings in his veins and fills his very being with irritated anxiety. he struggles to sleep, develops eyes in the back of his head, and can't focus clearly in a room unless he has at least two exits mapped out and available to him.
the only person he can feel safe around? Damian. his baby brother.
Damian has been ferocious and overprotective from the beginning. back in the league, when Jason was just a mindless angry zombie following Talia's orders, Damian adopted Jason as his brother and refused to leave his side. ensured Jason ate food when he couldn't remember to take care of himself, watched his back when in dangerous environments, and was there to keep an eye out when Jason was too paranoid to sleep.
Damian is the baby brother, and he will always look to Jason for help and protection, but that instinctive sense of safety goes both ways, and i just think a look into their relationship centric to that from Jason's side would be so fucking cool.
like, Jason having a panic attack in the cave, and nobody can get close. he's barely breathing, lashing out at anybody who dares to touch him, and he clearly isn't present enough to hear anything Dick, Bruce, or Tim say. they've never seen him like this before. they're lost, they don't know what to do, and they only get more worried when in his panic Jason starts hurting himself.
the only person who can get close? Damian. Damian, who slips over to Jason's feet, starts humming a league lullaby, and places his small hand on Jason's chest, reminding him that he's there. Jason isn't present at all, but he instinctively remembers the feeling of that hand, the tone of that voice, and he remembers: safe.
anyways i want a Damian that is the only person that has consistently helped Jason through his worst times at the league+after, and i want it to fuckin show.
