sometimes , jason truly wonders if talia hates him. if she regrets dropping him into the pit. if she wishes he could go back to being a brain dead zombie with excellent muscle memory. she must , he thinks , seeing whom she had placed him on the particular mission with. a group , who wanted to bring down the league , found by lady shiva. so , of course , shiva had to be involved. send one of her finest. he would’ve taken anyone. literally , anyone else. but , no. jason is stood there , hands on his hips , fingers twitching to get to his guns , or his knife , anything. “ you’ve gotta be fuckin’ kiddin’ me. “ he groans , accent thick with the streets of gotham. years in nanda parbat cannot change it , as much as talia has tried. “ honestly , put me back in the fuckin’ ground. i ain’t workin’ with you. “ he wonders if they’ve done this on purpose. to test him. to see if he could extend his loyalty to them , to their allies. if he can get through this mission without trying to kill tim , then he’ll pass , right ? is that what this is ? he wishes he knew. “ the fuck are you doin’ here , tim ? “ he slips his kris out of the holster on his pocket , playing absently with the knife as he turns his gaze away from tim , back out at the horizon. “ look , kid , i ain’t happy about this. but , it is what it is. let’s just get it over with. “ / @shikrasong
