( this is not a question he should be answering, because while jason doesn't give a shit about fucking around with their own while masked, letting others in on personal details is never, ever a good idea. people have gotten the drop on him before due to bleeding in a little too much, and that wasn't even jason's fault. but accelerator is a kid, and kids are idiots who don't trust anyone worth shit because everyone could be out to get them if they're not trying to get something out of them. everyone was out to get jason, and everyone else was trying to get something out of him.

he gets it.

he doesn't move any closer when accelerator turns to look at him. clicks his tongue against the roof of his mouth. )

I've got a little brother who's about your age. He's an asshole with a terrible temper, too much pride, and he saunters around like nothing can touch him. ( the damian here is - significantly older than that now. still similar. but he's not talking about him, except for the points where he is because he still relives the nightmare of damian losing an arm every time he closes his eyes. ) Call it sentiment if you want.
