It's a good thing that Dick clarifies the point about Jason there because Bruce was a half a second away from rolling his eyes and puffing out a yeah right. But no, Jason's not as bad he maybe makes himself out to be. Bruce has experienced that firsthand here. The way he's patched him up, come to his aid, told him things that maybe had been difficult for him to. He's a bit of a punk, he's not going to try and say he isn't, but. There's more to him than that... just as there's more to Batman than Batman.

But maybe that's good to hear — that he's not making things worse for them by being here. It's not as if he had a say in it after all and this past month that he's been here has been... hard. Really hard for him. Especially with a Joker being here and everything that's going on back in his Gotham... things that still make him worry with the not knowing and being completely powerless to do anything while being here.

"I'm scared to go back," and the way he says that is so soft and so young, like the ten year old he is right now. "Alfred's badly hurt and in the hospital because of me and if I go back and lose him... then I don't have anyone."
