( jason does reach back for the gun. grabs onto it, but he's not handing it over immediately. instead, he's making sure there's no bullets in the chamber and unloading the magazine from the gun. pulls out a different one from inside his jacket that's marked with a bit of blue painted onto the bottom, and loads that one in. )

Non-lethal rounds. All I've got on me, so don't waste 'em.

( see how nice he is. tim asks for a gun, jason hands over the gun. )

It doesn't hurt. You got your new meta-abilities from the Confluence, right? I got mine from the godbits that yanked me into New Amsterdam.

( patting at his chest for a moment, before he's reaching up for the high neck of his suit. jason pulls it away from himself far enough that the blue glow of his sternum is visible. not his sternum itself, he's not explaining the scar there too. )

's more of an uncomfortable pull. Pain I can handle. This just feels weird.
