Thinking about that one fic idea where Bruce is heading for a death match and the only kid he tells is estranged Jason because he needs someone to keep the other kids from getting involved or they'll die and "you'll let him kill me". And Jason is in shock that Bruce thinks their relationship is that bad that he would let Bruce die, but then has to reconcile that he will.
Then he has to stand there, a human barrier against his siblings as Bruce fights, and has to let him fight and just hope he doesn't die. He can't. Jason can't have agreed to just stand by and watch while he dies, right?
