Summary
“What do you need?” Bruce asks, voice still quiet and level - a solid object for you to grasp onto in the middle of drowning.
“I think I just… need to cry about it.” You say dejectedly, finally looking at him. You’re wearing a mask that he recognizes well - you don’t want to cry. There is no part of you that wants to break down and feel this, even though you know you have to.

Summary
"The past doesn't die just because you bury it, Hood. Either dig it up, yourself, or it'll climb out of that grave on its own."
"Excuse me?" Jason bites back. You hold your hands up in surrender.
"Hey, it's up to you," you say. "But… you know. Start running now, you'll never stop, right?"

Summary
"Why are you still there?" Is all you end up saying, the words harsh as they cut through the air. You flinch at hearing them, your own voice hatefully foreign to you.
"Because I love you," Bruce says simply, like it's such an easy thing. "And I promised I wouldn't leave you."

Summary
"I don't know why I do this," you mutter, and Bruce hums.
"You don't?"
"I don't think it makes me a better person," you add.
"Do you put on that mask to be a better person?"
