[Dick goes quiet for a few moments, ignoring any looks their direction. Really, it's probably not the weirdest thing people in this city have seen, after all. And maybe a few of the boys will see it and realize that they can be vulnerable, too.]
[The mention of getting away with murder doesn't quite make him flinch. But it touches on a few things that he doesn't think about. Things that aren't really part of his past, but are because of Barry Allen.]
I'm not B. I can see that you're trying. I'm just...not always in a place where I can help with that, either.
[He's only human. He has limits.]
You're my brother. I know I don't say that often enough, but you are family. You HAVE family. And when you need me, I will do my best to be there to help catch you.
( and he does. tim's had his back when jason thought he was fucked all on his own. he knows that even if jason pisses them all off--if he gets into shit, they'll do their damned best to get him out of it. he'd argue he doesn't deserve it, given all the shit he's pulled over the years. but jason also knows it isn't about who deserves what. even if he's legally dead, legally nothing to them, none of them have ever given two shits about that. )
Came over here, didn't I?
( he went to dick, when he needed help with figuring his shit out. even if he hates the answer dick's given him. )
( dick pats at him, and jason takes that as a good enough cue to pull back entirely, raising his right hand up to semi-straighten out his hair. it's getting a little too long - long enough it's starting to curl towards the ends, so it's always a little messy, but. he can shove it out of the way at least. )
Don't mention it. ( a pause, before he offers a little half-grin. ) Really. Or else.
( jason, usually, knows when to fight and when to drop it. hell, he's--been getting along better with dick and the rest, in comparison to when he first came back. the bit with junior's a new mess, but it doesn't necessarily apply to the rest of them, either. it's fine. mostly. )
I can figure out Kyle. 's not like he's gonna be surprised. Wouldn't be the first time I've fucked off on him. Hell, or the second.
( his multiversal adventure was during a rough time. )

Yeah. Yeah, you did.
[Another pause.]
And thank you. For giving me a chance to help.

I won't mention it except to you.
[Tim knows that Jason was there, and will be able to notice that Dick's not bruised all to hell. But Jason doesn't ALWAYS fight with him.]
Now. You just need to figure out what you're going to tell Kyle.
