Talk about it.

As if that was going to fix anything.

It wouldn’t fade the bruises Willis had left behind on him and his mom. Talking wouldn’t bring Catherine back. It wouldn’t make the memory of an empty stomach and freezing feet fade away. And it wouldn’t take away the greedy hands off of his skin.

Jason scoffed, shaking his head a little. “I don’t need to talk about it, ma'am. And I don’t want to keep dragging up the mess I left behind when Bruce found me. Whatever needs fixing, I can fix. Whatever ‘demons’ there are, I can fight. As myself I couldn’t do shit. As Robin I can.”

As Robin, I’m worth something more.

Leslie was quiet for a moment, allowing Jason's words to hang in the air. It was a valid point, if what happened hadn't effected him, didn't have any power over him, then why would he want to talk about it? But then, Leslie thought rather instead that he was deferring the issues. Hoping they would disappear entirely if only he could turn into someone else. Someone he percieved as better.

She shifted slightly in her seat. "Robin isn't a person. It's a construct. A persona. A mantle. You can be Robin, but you'll still always also be Jason. Someone who has a lot of merit all on his own."

She caught the look on the young boys fsce and pressed forward again before he had chance to interrupt her.

"I think you would do yourself a disservice if you forgot about Jason. After all, he is just as important, if not more so than Robin."

''She's -- I don't know, she looks at me like she's hearing the stuff I'm not telling her, and it's freaking me the fuck out.''

"Thank you for coming to pick me up. I'm almost done. Shall we get take out? "

Sat in the clinic awaiting @docthompkins to finish her shift so we can go back to hers to snuggle on the sofa.

"Consider it payback Mr Pennyworth."

Back in Starbucks after shopping 🛍️ @docthompkins is enjoying teasing me back with taking random pictures because I spam her with lots of mine.

// sorry i’ve been kinda slow on the replies lately. have saved a ton of drafts tonight across all accounts so shall work through them this weekend. <3

Leslie smiled at that, proud of him for doing so well. People often forgot how difficult education was for children and underestimated the effect it could have. But it didn't feel like an issue at the moment.

She nodded, adding a note to her book, tilted just out of Jason's line of sight. "Excellent. And how about the journaling task I set you last week? How have you found it?"

Hel–Heck yeah.“

Jason smirked, opening his can of coke. ’‘I told you, doc; being Robin is the best thing that ever happened to me. I can do good. Batman needs me.”

It had earned more than a few notes down in his journal. He was good enough, he was earning his keep as Robin and as Jason. All their worries… he was good. Even Barbara had said so.
