( maybe he should have seen it coming. should have known jason would do what he does, but. when the gun is raised, bruce reacts a second too late. )
Donβt β!
( the rounds are fired before bruce can even take a step towards jason and he watches as βthe jokerβ takes the four bullets heβs given, laughing as he does. the sound he makes when his body hits the shadowy ground is a loud thud and he lays there with a permanent smile β a shit eating grin β on his face.
bruce stands there. speechless. he feels he should react. that he should tell jason how he let his words get to him. how heβd been goaded into shooting him down like he had and how it doesnβt magically make the words disappear. that it doesnβt erase the years of trauma heβs been through because of him. because of the joker. that this was what he wanted and jason gave him it without a second thought.
he turns to say something when he catches sight of βthe jokerβ there behind jason. still wearing that same grin on his bloodied lips. )
Jason!
( behind him, βthe jokerβ laughs, crowbar raised high, almost shining in the dark. )
