[ He didn’t mean to cry this hard. It’s like a leak springing in a water pipe. Once sprung, just putting his thumb over the hole isn’t going to stop anything. It’s all just compounding.
Tim doesn’t like crying, or being vulnerable, so the very act is making the act work, like a high pressure leak further damaging the pipeline.
Doesn’t like it when people are stupid. Kon is, for this phenomenally bad idea. Tim is, for surrendering to tears over it.
Doesn’t like not being in control, and he’s not even control of himself right now, so how can he be in control of the situation?
It’s some stupid genetic quirk to make Tim question nature over nurture when he’s not wrapping one arm himself to steady himself. As for Kon coming in for a hug? Truth be told, Tim’s not even looking. He’s trying to process this mess. The plan is currently get the phone, get out, and try not to get into a motorcycle accident, but it’s getting lost in the chaff.
I know it’s risky. As he continues to justify making boneheaded plans to lead an equal rights fight, because of course he is, why wouldn’t he? There really isn’t going to be any way to stop him, barring kryptonite or an equally heavyweight meta getting involved.
Someone else can be the example this time. Someone else can be the one who gets beaten to death and their friends can kneel over them and wonder if they’re cold because it’s the Arctic or because it’s too late for CPR and know because their brain just never stops that Superman would’ve tried if the internal damage wasn’t so significant as to make it a lost cause. Someone else can know what that kind of hopeless feels like.
Feels like right now. It’s not irrational. It’s not. The government has only a tenuous control on the metahuman population, and they’re not going to take this lightly. He’d argue, but no one listens to people when they’re this upset. Kon wouldn’t listen even if Tim was perfectly composed, he’s built from moral conviction. ]
