[There is no way Tim and Bart can handle him by themselves when he'd thrashed the entire Titans by himself once and also been a handful for the Outsiders, even with him being weaker in this world. There are two other heroes here trying to help. He has to assume they're ready and willing to keep helping.]
[It's not like Bart can't make multiple trips.]
Some kinda mental programming. A villain personality. Black Zero. Still...fighting me.
[He'd have no reason to call it a "villain" personality if he was a villain.]
