Summary
Batman needs a Robin. But Tim needs Jason.
So, he leaves to get Jason back. All the while, Jason’s ghost follows, as brash and endearing as ever. It’s not exactly what Tim wants, but he’ll take whatever the universe gives him until he can figure out a way to make things right.
“You know, you don’t have to do this.”
Tim doesn’t even bother turning around. Even if he did, he’d hardly be able to see Jason’s ghostly visage past the stupidly bright blues of the computer screen.
The rumors and movies were right, apparently; the deceased really do visit the living in cloying smoke tendrils of blues and grays, glittering with promise and shards of hope.
How apropos.
“But I will,” Tim responds quietly. “I mean, what else would I do? Live without you?”
