You know I know you’re lying.

[ Tim has a brief fantasy of dumping the coffee on him, but Jason would refuse to let heal that, too, and tell everyone it was Tim who made him him into the Phantom of the Opera of burn scars. ]

It’s not even a good lie. It’s insulting.

How else am I supposed to practice? I can’t ask people. I certainly can’t hurt people for the express purpose of healing them, and as much as I’d love to slowly clear out an entire children’s hospital, I’d get caught.

[ He’s thought about it. He’s even more than thought about it, one or twice. It’s why he wants to improve. ]

( he almost, almost bites out a 'you don't know the limitations of it, dumbass' except then he'd just get tim yelling back at him that he's trying to figure them out except jason's being an asshole who won't let tim heal him, and thus, tim's falling back on his original plan to try and find his limits by sneakily healing people without them finding out about it.

he's quiet for a few moments. running through a few lines and all the ways tim's going to rebuff him. because tim's a smartass, accentuating the smart bit, and while jason's usually good for a pointless argument, he can save them both some time and effort of just--not doing it. )

Fine. Do what you want. Don't come crying to me when it fucks you over.

( he'd argue for not using it, but they both know damn well what jason would do if he'd gotten a similar ability: tell everyone to fuck off, he'll do what he wants, and use it whenever someone was stupid enough to get themselves hurt. they all know he's a hypocrite. he doesn't need tim bitching at him over it right now. )

[ Waiting Jason out just pisses Tim off, because he doesn’t come to see things Tim’s way. (Or if he does, Jay’s overriding it out of sheer stubbornness.) Tim should know better, and does, but it would be so much easier if everyone listened to him from the start.

But that doesn’t go as well as he’d like either, and Tim doesn’t like to deal with the future-guilt and alt-guilt over what he could someday do, and Tim can’t help but match Jason’s annoyance. ]

I was trying to do what I want, but you took it on yourself to stop me! I don’t need a babysitter -

[ Bang! Tim registers the sound and stops right before a body drops from the roof in between the balconies.

And whatever else there was to say is gone. Tim’s already rushing back in. ]

I’ve got down!

[ Meaning Jay goes up. Meaning Tim, with healing on the brain, goes to the victim. ]

( tim's starting shit. and jason--is getting ready to mirror that same anger, the irritation, brows furrowed and mouth opened to start yelling back at tim across the balconies when -

- a body drops. the reaction is immediate: jason's pushing bear off of him and pulling himself up to his feet. he's already got boots on, because who relaxes while not ready for a fight? weirdos.

tim rushing for the what's likely a corpse is bad news, but he's already off into his hotel room, so jason doesn't say anything yet. just runs his way through his own room and out the other side, fast enough to catch tim in the hallway before he gets far. not to grab him, but to call out a, )

Don't hurt yourself, idiot. ( he's trusting tim not to be too reckless. even if jason knows better, because they're all reckless. there's no more words, because he's busy making his way through the emergency exit and up the staircase, taking them three at a time in a rush to catch whoever the hell threw someone off the hotel. )
