[ He does absorb much of the lecture. He deserves it - how many times has he seen Bruce overstep the rights and concerns of other Justice League members? The objections aren’t invalid.
When you get caught, it doesn’t matter if you’re right. Tim was sloppy and put too much faith in Kon not noticing because Kon hadn’t noticed. This is no one’s fault but his.
It’s fixable. He can get Kon to agree, or do it without him knowing. It won’t be any more manipulative than what’s already occurred. Tim has the information he needs on the server now. He can recreate the forms. It’s fine. He’ll be the Luthor here. If it ends up being needed, Kon can hate him all he wants, but he’ll be safe and Tim will try not to be fucking smug about it and -
He’d been watching the scraps fall to the ground when Kon threatens to revoke the citizenship if Tim does it anyway. Like he followed every step of Tim’s thought process.
Tim’s not mad or malicious. He thinks he should feel sick, but there’s just… nothing. Kon’s so determined to be an idiot that he’s willing to outright sabotage Tim’s work to prove some stupid noble point, because he’s got to be stupid and noble, and Tim is wrung out, all hope of a failsafe gone. ]
Letting someone get what they need and ripping it away? Now that’s a Luthor move.
[ He delivers it numbly and without emphasis. With no real plan, he stands there blankly, his eyebrows pinching together. Eventually, he starts looking for his shoes. ]
