( JASON TODD | @beatupwithacrowbar )
Losing somebody you care for is never easy. That great emptiness is a difficult void to fill, the pangs of guilt ring often and painfully. Few losses quite compare to Bruce Wayne as that of Jason. His Jason. Not the first Robin he’d lost, but the first he’d been powerless to stop. Slipped through his fingers, a victim, a body. Since learning he had returned — angrier than before — Bruce had barely slept. He knew better than to hunt the boy down, but he had so many questions.
Too many apologies.
It took too long to find him again, but when he did, Bruce donned the mask and hurried to track Jason down. As his feet landed on metal, he felt something he hadn’t felt in years: nerves. They coursed through him, blood frozen, knowing this would not be a happy encounter, no matter how badly he willed it to be one. He would be lucky if Jason didn’t head for the hills the minute they saw one another. Bruce turned, slowly, eyes down, staring at Jason’s feet. “I wish you’d stop running,” he said quietly, voice hoarse. “We both know I will always track you down.”
