Summary
Jason’s jaw flexes. “You think he’s gonna stop?” he asks, voice low and dangerous. “He won’t. Men like that— they keep taking until someone stops them.”
He leans closer, “I can give you the gun.”
Tim’s stomach turns. “I can’t, Jason,” he says quietly, forcing each word.
Jason studies him in silence, unreadable.
“Then let me,” he says finally.
····•····
“What did you do?”
The words hang in the air, soft but loaded, a warning and an accusation all at once.
Jason watches him, his expression blank and unflinching.
Tim’s voice rises, ragged and raw, shaking with the force of all he’s repressed. “WHAT DID YOU DO?”
•··········•··········•
OR: Tim keeps getting himself kicked out of schools (that little vigilante thing sort of gets in the way), and Jack Drake starts taking it personally. Their already-strained relationship devolves into abuse. Jason offers a helping hand. Tim's parents don't survive.
