accelerator isn't the only kid he's known who's been through some shit. hell, jason's known many. grew up surrounded by them, knows several kids who lived in crime alley who didn't make it. people don't give a shit, back home. street kids are disposable; several had been picked up and used by some of gotham's worst, only to be thrown out the moment their usefulness was over. jason didn't have it easy, he just got lucky and got an out, even if that out got him killed. jason knows he would have turned out worse, had bruce not picked him up.
but jason hates it anyway. winces, even, because it sucks.
takes a breath in after. )
Some asshole took a crowbar and beat me with it 'til I was so fucked up no one would've recognized me. Left me in a warehouse, an' when I finally pulled myself together enough to try and get out, the bomb he'd planted earlier went off.
