( this shouldn't happen β he can't afford to let it happen, but. he's never had to see his father like this β see his father falling apart before his eyes as he slowly shuffles his way towards him, arm stretched out, boney fingers reaching for him. he feels like he's ten years old suddenly. paralyzed with fear. a fear he'd thought he'd mastered over the years.
bruce...
he swears he can hear his name on his father's lipsβ hear his voice just as he remembers, but. maybe it's all in his head. this can't be real... can it?
fingers grip tight at the batarang he holds and he's still unable to throw it. that's when he hears jason's voice behind him, soft and close, and it's enough to have those blue eyes covered in black paint to blink a couple times. he's still unable to move β unable to process what exactly is happening right now and that's when the large snake-like creatures slither in fast. teeth bared. ready to take a bite out of both jason and the batman there. )
