[Somewhere in Central City is a small boy in a red, yellow, and green costume. It’s hard to forget someone in a colorful suit like that.

That is, assuming you can catch a good enough look at him. He’s effortlessly using his grappling gun and parkour skills to swing around and jump rooftops. You might see him as he tries to get a lay of the land.

Alternatively, you might see him fearlessly (or recklessly, depending on how you look at it) pounce right on top of a would-be armed mugger. He might not know where he is but that doesn’t mean he’s going to stop fighting crime. It’s what any good sidekick would do.]

Attic Safehouse above the Descendant Bar (Closed to people who use the safehouse)

[Later that night, Robin is exhausted but isn’t ready to trust just any place to rest for the night. For now, he’s just perched on top of the Descendant, near the attic window]

"Yeah, there probably are. But that doesn't mean that a lot of people would be really okay with the idea of a kid putting their life on the line," Mark counters. So it's not like Robin's fully covered that way.

"You still don't get it. How many times do I have to say it? No one forces me into anything," Jason says. "Kids are a lot smarter than you think."

Part of Jason wants to just leave while another wants to keep arguing and defend his adoptive father. It's getting more difficult to keep his temper in check as well.

They probably are, but that doesn't mean they can really fathom the idea of death and danger.

"I'm less worried about you being forced, and more worried that someone will hurt you, maybe to get at this Batman guy you hand out with. I'm scared of that."

[robintohood]

"It's worth the risk. Plus, you haven't seen Batman in action," Jason says, unperturbed by Mark's words.

As the sounds of police sirens get closer, Jason gets out his grappling gun.

"Anyway, hope you run into more muggers."

[atypical_echo]

Mark sighs and shakes his head. Somehow he has to think this kid doesn't get how dangerous what he's doing is.

"Be careful. Please."

Pretend I wrote "don't run into" in the previous tag

[robintohood]

Jason remains unperturbed. He aims his grappling gun at a nearby rooftop, fires it, and swings up to it, leaving Mark alone.

[atypical_echo]

Yeah, that was a whole thing.

"Guess that's probably a bad thing."

If only he knew Jason and Kyle were from the same world as the kid. He might reach out to them for help
