Summary
Jason is tired.
He has been tried time and time again, and he’s just… tired.
But he’s also so angry.

Not since his saving grace couldn’t save him.
But all of that is besides the current point.
Yes, the current point, is this kid—of course it had to be a kid—is hurting.
Hurting so badly, she might just end it all.
Jason is definitely not qualified for this.
…
or Jason Todd witnesses a young girl kill herself, and it really fucks him up.

Summary
“Are you okay?” Bruce asks, and Tim doesn’t know whether he means mentally or physically. The latter is easier to answer, so he goes with that.
“I’m fine, I think. My nose hurts, and I think my wrist might be slightly sprained, but I’m fine.”
Dick sighs. “Just go home, baby bird. We’ll be better off without you.”
Tim stops himself from flinching and holds back tears. He nods silently.
“Go home and rest, okay? Take a break.” Bruce doesn’t sound mad anymore, just tired. Tim nods again, not trusting his voice enough to speak. He turns and leaves the warehouse, walking out onto the moonlit streets of Gotham.
***
Or: Tim tries to kill himself, and Jason is the only person who can stop him.

They both ended on the bed. Facing the ceiling this time. Just laying there in a comfortable silence for a few minutes.
That was until Kon broke it, "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable earlier."

Summary
I’ve got so much left to say, I guess I’m just the bigger guy. Oh, thats the way things go.
He could not fathom disliking someone and just… letting that be. His own emotions were so strong. Like Richard’s, one may say. Or even Todd after the pit. But he did not have the casual snark that Drake possessed. The lazy grin, or easy frown. Drake was awkward, but in a stiff way. He got… angry during father’s disappearance. He would throw and crash and shout. But that wasn’t him at his core, Damian would say. That was him at his worst. Drake was emotionally cool. Didn’t show too many. Didn't show none.
Damian didn't understand why.
