( bruce stops. hesitates. and jason, from the rooftop above him, can make out why. he can see the shape of thomas wayne, recognizes the man from the portraits around wayne manor--at least before the guy starts melting. bruce doesn't move, and that's--never a good sign, because batman doesn't hesitate. batman can't stop, can't let himself be caught off guard, can't leave himself open for a moment because the moment he lets his guard down is the moment everything gets fucked over.
jason catches it. and he jumps.
leans into the ability he's very rarely used, but seems to lean on so much when he's around bruce. he takes a step back into the closest shadow, just to step straight out of bruce's shadow. he'd laugh at the irony, but this isn't really the time. )
On your six. ( voice quiet, but it's definitely jason's, which is all he's going for. bruce knows how he sounds, how he holds himself, and jason's hoping he won't freak out and try to fuck him over for appearing out of nowhere. especially because he's raising up a gun, forearm going over bruce's shoulder so he can aim straight for the monster impersonating thomas wayne. there are others, more shit to take care of--but this is the one that's pulling all of bats' focus and he needs to go. )
