( he's just a kid. a kid with an attitude who, from what jason has seen, is extremely clever. he did some follow up research on accelerator after they parted ways last time, because he doesn't just give guns out to kids who ask for them on the streets, that'd be a really stupid move. and jason, despite airs he might intentionally put on to throw people off, isn't an idiot. he isn't just a brawler, isn't just some guy with guns.
probably isn't the person to be having this talk, either. but he rolls his eyes under his mask, puts both hands on his hips. )
You're a brat who was walking 'round the street asking thugs for guns. Not only is that reckless, it'd be downright stupid for most. But you're not most kids, are you? You're on your own, in a new place, far away from home. An' you're pretty sure you're doing just fine, because you can handle everything on your own.
( a lot of this is guesswork, based on their very limited interactions. jason's usually pretty spot on, he wasn't trained by the world's greatest detective for nothing, but he wouldn't be surprised if he got shit wrong, either. )
I was on my own when I was a lot younger than you, I know what it's like to need something to try and keep yourself safe, 'cause who the fuck knows what the world's going to throw at you next. Doesn't matter what special abilities you've got going on, you've got a weakness you can't hide which means you've gotta make up for it in other ways. Mouthing off, finding a good weapon you can pull out to throw people, being suspicious of everyone who offers a hand 'cause chances are high they're all out to get you. And if they aren't, who gives a shit? You're not out here looking for friends, and it's better to tell everyone to fuck off because chances are always higher their intentions are shit.
