    Summary

    Jason Todd grew up with a fundamental fear of being seen. Not in the sense of shyness, but in the sense of shame. He supposed, if he wished to contemplate the fear’s origins, he might start where most tragedies do:
    The house he grew up in.
    Where the act of wanting was as good as a death sentence to that desire.
    He supposed he might even make an argument for the statement “people become what they are called”. He thinks that might have some merit, looking back.
    What he fears most, (like most other people), is how obvious it is to others. The fear itself.
    He wonders if they can see it.

    or

    Thanks to a rogue meta, the batfam gets to watch Jason's memories like a movie; and Jason just really wants a family again. But you cannot be loved if you aren't known, and well... if circumstances provide? might as well take the chance, right?

    Summary

    Jason Todd has always been good at handling emotions, especially when they involve Bruce.

    So, when Bruce says something that should send Jason spiralling he definitely doesn't... Spiral that is (lies)

    OR

    Jason’s stomach plummeted, the question striking deeper than any fist or bullet ever had. His breath hitched, chest tightening, lungs aching for air that suddenly felt too thick to take in. The words felt like a trap--like a tripwire stretched taut between them, ready to snap the second he made a move. But Bruce didn’t press. He didn’t soften. He just *waited*, his silence a scalpel peeling Jason apart, layer by layer.

    It was obvious Bruce hadn't meant it in the way Jason was hearing it. Jason knew personally how many times Bruce had used the same words during arguments with Dick but that didn't stop him from being any less caught off guard.
