[The answer doesn't come for a while on Dick's end, either.]

[Because the first thing that comes to mind is accepting some of it, but absolutely fighting against the rest. He had reasons. They both had reasons.]

[Instead, he goes to the gym and beats up the heavy bag for half an hour, until he can think straight and not go for the anger options. Because he knows that Jason doesn't actually blame him for most of that. Jason's already said as much.]

[But he's hurting and Dick had trampled over some boundary without realizing it. Had gone in for a joke because it was easier. Which is why it's closer to an hour before Dick replies.]

I'm sorry about Tony disappearing. I know he was important to you.

[You don't have to entirely like somebody for them to be important.]

I'll be here if you want to talk.

[He can't change the past. The best he can do is keep a hand out going forward.]

harper's gone, too

( there's no delay. jason's angry, but it's not genuine anger. it's anger put on to mask hurt he doesn't want to deal with. it's easier, to be pissed off and scream than it is to sit in his own fucked up feelings and figure out what to do with them. anger has always come easier.

roy doesn't have a neural interface jason can ping, but he's already done his "i'm fucking off from the world for a bit, be back later" ghosting move. he wouldn't pull that again so soon. wouldn't ignore jason's messages that are pointedly on the verge of panic. he's an asshole like the rest of them, but not like that.

they're all disappearing on him. everyone outside the family. and jason doesn't have a way to keep them grounded. )

[Dick's the golden boy. The role model for oh so many heroes Jason's age and younger. He's been mentoring Jon, so he does TRY to keep his language clean. Sometimes.]

[But, there's really only one word for this.]

Fuck.

[Because Roy's his friend, too.]

( there's no response.

he's said his bit. he got it out. dick can do with it what he wants. he wants to get pissed off that dick just - deflected everything, didn't answer for any of it, but jason's tired. he's tired, he's depressed, he's got so much shit going on and every damn time he tries to balance it out something else comes up. he loses someone, he needs to give tim and dickie a break, dick's close to losing it, bruce is - bruce.

maybe it's time to fuck off from everyone again. )
