( it's maybe ten minutes after bruce falls into a shadow that jason opens the group chat. ten minutes to check his trackers, ten minutes to wait for bruce to pop back out somewhere growling and bitching like he usually does.

before jason opts to instead - )

prefacing this with i didn't do it
anyone have a location on b?
i don't give a shit where he is, just making sure he still exists somewhere

[reneger]

i'm the only one who can

[hackingyoursensors]

yeah but you can bring people with you right?

[reneger]

( well. yes. )

i know you're clever and capable
i did think about asking you to come with me given your powerset
but if anything happened to you because you followed me into who knows where i wouldn't be able to live with myself
and i know you would have tagged along knowing and accepting the risk and you probably hate that i'm taking it but not letting you
i would in your shoes
i don't have a good excuse

[hackingyoursensors]

then don't make an excuse
you need someone to watch your back
and his

[reneger]

i can't lose you, too

[hackingyoursensors]

and its okay if i lose you?

[reneger]

no, it's not
it's never okay

[hackingyoursensors]

then whey can't we go together
we're partners

[reneger]

because you're my responsibility
i promised to keep you as safe as i could
because i love you and if anything hurt you i'd lose my shit and b wouldn't be able to stop me

[hackingyoursensors]

[ using the 'l' word is a low blow, Jason. ]

how are you going to keep me safe
if you're not here
if we're not together

[reneger]

kyle's still around
he's significantly better at heroing than i am

[hackingyoursensors]

i don't need a hero
i need a partner

[reneger]

i'll come back

[hackingyoursensors]

we both know
you can't promise that

[reneger]

i promise i'll do everything i can to come back
i don't want to leave you
but i can't leave him on his own either

[hackingyoursensors]

[ There is no response for a few minutes. ]

don't be an idiot though

[reneger]

i'd never
keep an eye on rayner and tj for me
i'll be back before you know it

[hackingyoursensors]
