let's take it underground 😈 - artbyhelenhe on instagram and X
I want Jason to accidentally say I love you to Bruce.
B is fussing over him in the Batman way after patrol, but Jason just wants to leave, so he’s dismissively agreeing with everything.
Things are okay between them right now, but it’s not quite comfortable. (It will never be the same as it once was.)
“Check in at the Batcave after the warehouse is clear,” Batman gruffly orders.
Jason rolls his eyes as he responds, “Sure, B.”
“Tread lightly on that ankle.”
“Okay,” Jason says absently, already halfway out the door.
“I also made some enhancements for your armour that you should pick up.”
“Alright.”
“Stay safe.” Batman concludes, in his ever-present flat tone.
And then, Jason doesn’t even think as he ends the conversation with “Okay bye, love you.”
Even though it’s minute, Bruce flinches.
Memories of a younger Jason, Robin, flood his mind. That boyish smile that spread laughter and light amongst Gotham is there. The one that belongs to Bruce’s child who use to share hugs and love no matter the day.
Jason-Robin-gives-me-magic-Todd was truely happy just to be with Batman. He shone the brightest so that Bruce could form the strongest shadow behind him.
But now, as silence envelops the two vigilantes, Jason’s face of shock no longer holds the same light. A natural grimace rests in place of a smile. A jagged J scar is carved into those once-pearly-cheeks, brandishing their gorey tale.
His innocence has been eroded, corrupted by Gotham.
By Bruce.
Bruce knows that he is to blame for Jason’s loss of light. He lost his son and his position as a father that night.
Bruce can’t hear the words “I love you” without hating himself for taking Jason’s love away.
He will never be worthy of love again.
On the other hand, Jason had let the words slip without thinking.
He felt like kicking himself. The situation was beyond embarrassing, infinitely worse than calling your teacher ‘mum’ or something.
(Though, when he reflects on the moment, maybe the slip was his subconscious projecting.
Deep down inside, he’s still a hurting Robin that wants his father’s comfort.)
He’s not prepared for Bruce’s face of horror as he turns around though.
Considering the past few months, he should have been prepared.
It’s just as he thought.
Bruce doesn’t love him anymore.
Jason knew that he’s changed, he will never be the child that he once was.
He grew older. He finally left the nest. He died. He came back.
And it was wrong. With green in his veins and a penchant for murder.
Jason knows that it wasn’t just the Pits. He’s in full control when he kills, and he doesn’t regret it.
He went out and broke Bruce’s fundamental moral code, and even tried to kill another bird.
If Bruce’s rejection wasn’t already clear on his face, then the flinch was definitely enough to sell it.
Bruce’s son died that night in the warehouse, and Red Hood is just the name that’s parading around in a dead child’s body.
Clearly, B’s fussing over his safety was out of his duty to Gotham. He doesn’t love Jason anymore. He loves Gotham.
After all, how could he love a monster?
idk if u can tell but I’m halfway thru Arkham knight and this angsty idea popped into my at 1:30 am! Highly recommend the game!!
..Imagine the Batfam watching game play of (Edit- GOTHAM) Knight(s?) And just. Imagine their reaction to see Jason's face 💀 just--
You can hear Jason screaming from Metropolis about "WHY THE FUCK DO I LOOK OLDER THAN BRUCE?? WHERES MY HAIR?"
And Dicks laughing so damn hard cuz he looks YOUNGER than Jason and ahsjaj
They can't get through the game cuz Jason's throwing a fit, Damians pissed cuz he's not in it but then Duke and Cassandra point out that they aren't either- (that doesn't make him feel better, he's gonna call someone, who?? He doesn't know yet)
And Tim is enjoying this cuz Jason gets to know how it feels to be bald for some reason- (everyone remembers with a shudder what they did to him in the first game)
Dick and Barbara are the only ones having a good time 💀
Playing Arkham Knight for the first time. What should I know before I start?
Jason sharing his favorite book with Y/N.
i feel like i’m going insane
the cup that alfred give dick in arkham knights does have the bi flag on it right? right?? or am i just reading into this??? bc like it could be a sunset i guess but they also have the pride flag in the bg and the conversation about attending pride… like neither of those things mean anything specifically about their sexualities they could just be allies but the cup…. is like clearly supposed to be dick’s it says blüdhaven on it
my favorite thing about anything batman related is the running joke about dick’s ass.
on tumblr? it’s the clap of my ass cheeks meme
in arkham nights? babs pokes fun at dick always checking out his ass
in the comics? oh you know wally’s slapping and commenting on that gorgeous badonkadonk
in freaking titans of all things, they still choose an actor with an ass worthy of the title grayson
