and if you don't know my name maybe we could be something

Summary:

Jason works alone. He doesn't need help, he doesn't need Tim butting in on his cases, and he especially doesn't need some unknown number telling him what to do.

Notes:

Happy HTML Tryhard week! Make sure to check out the other works in the collection there's some really cool stuff!

XXX-XXX-XXXX Hello, Jason. Run that number for me Hmm. Please You know that’s really not how this works, right? Barbie I don’t have the time 🙄 Burner phone, paid for in cash, purchased from a gas station at the edge of town. No GPS. I can tell you the last cell tower it bounced off of but that was earlier today. Does it say who the phone belongs to? What part of “paid for in cash” didn’t you understand? Whatever Thanks Don’t be a stranger

I thought you didnt want my help Never even so much as a thank you I might have the codes pulled up to black out the whole building Might give you about five minutes if you use your time wisely What do you want? A thanks for saving my life might be a good place to start Learn how to use punctuation and I might think about it Oh no looks like theyre closing in on your location :( Thank you. :) Good luck

What do you know about the Tryads? Oh ho whats this? The great red hood asking for help? Do you know anything or not No relation to the band i assure you What band? Tryad The tryads were influenced more by triad Like from china The organized crime stuff Its all about three part harmony Heaven earth and humanity Father son holy ghost Ect ect So think gentrification of chinese organized crime Where they push catholicism but also are super into blood sacrifices and human trafficking Fun stuff I already know all that Wow okay great! Wonderful talk bye Wait sorry Just You know things. Its true Do you know anything about their setup that would help bring them down? I know their main headquarters but like names, places, shipping times Anything helps. And if I do Why would I tell you? You want to help me, right? Hmm Do i? I Why else would you have given me all that information? Maybe i just like stacking the deck in my favor If i get on your good side maybe youll do something for me Like what? Dont know yet Jesus Christ I don’t know why I even bothered I know when their next meeting is What? When? Itll cost you Cost me what? A favor What favor? Dont know yet Fuck you Strangely i feel even less inclined to help now So you don’t care about saving kids and you don’t care about stopping insane cults. Got it. Calm down Don’t tell me to fucking calm down You help me out when I don’t even ask for it and when I do ask you fuck around What’s your angle? No angle I just like getting you riled up Do you have anything for me or not? Not But ill look into it because i like you so much Fuck off Ive heard mentions of a meeting but ill confirm before i let you know I really do want to help You’ve got a funny way of showing it Sorry i thought sending you vital information and getting you out of a gunfight was enough You didn’t want to help those kids I wanted a goddamn thank you Thank you Thats Ok Ill look into it for you Let you know if i heard anything 👍

Got a few pings on your boy. He’s not my boy Might not even be a ‘he’ Well whoever they are, they definitely hang around oldtown Gotham a lot. Might have a place there or near the Bowrey. Got a location? Still not really how it works, but more or less. Cams in the area didn’t pick anything up, whoever they are knows how to avoid being spotted. Want my opinion? Sure Ex-military, maybe. Black ops or something, maybe even an ex-con. Someone who knows how to bounce their signal off of cell towers and has experience avoiding being seen. I think it’s less likely that they live in Old Gotham, and more likely they go there each time they message you, or they have a system to misdirect the cell towers. Can you do that? Sure. But the question really is why. If they’re so intent on helping you, why keep their identity hidden? They have something to hide My thoughts exactly. I’ll keep an eye on it but they’re good, Hood. They don’t want to be found and they’re putting all this effort to avoid it. Figured. Thanks for looking into it. ofc Stay safe, Hood. Always, Barbie.

Did you know? I suspected. How long? When I saw the phone hanging around the Bowery. Tim has his nest out there. And you didn’t think to tell me? I wasn’t positive. If I was wrong I’d make you suspicious of Tim for no reason and if I was right If you were right? You and Tim were finally working together. Yeah because I didn’t fucking know it was him Not just that. On the Tryads, you willingly accepted information from him. I didn’t want to set that back. Right. Because the case is always more important. That’s not what I said. Whatever. For what it’s worth, I’m sorry you found out the way you did. 👍

😬 Fuck off. hey brother o mine who I love dearly what the fuck happened between you and Tim? Nothing happened. u sure??? bc he got all weepy the other day after I caught him on his phone when he should’ve been resting and now suddenly it’s like you’ve fallen off the face of the Earth again and you’re avoiding everyone on patrol and Tim won’t even tell me what happened he’s just sleeping all the time and telling me not to bother you Maybe you should listen to him I’m a big brother it’s my job not to listen to my siblings when they tell me to leave them alone 🙄 you should know this by now Unfortunately. so I can use context clues to figure out what happened. Enlighten me. it’s really not that big of a deal Jay 🫤 it’s not like this is anything NEW Right he’s just been lying to me the entire time he’s known me I wouldn’t call it... lying. What would you call it? Deceptions? A little oopsie? you’re being kind of a dick 🫤 Sorry I don’t like being fucking lied to, Dick not telling you he has a crush on you isn’t lying!!!!omfg!!! like thats not something ur entitled too sorry if you feel weird about it but I can promise that Tim feels 100 times worse knowing how bad the guy he liked is reacting to his crush!! What like Jesus Christ I know you think you’re unlovable or whatever which isn’t event true bc I LOVE YOU but Tim really looks up to you like you could at least be cool about this and let him down gently 🫤 That’s Dick. Tim didn’t tell me he had a crush on me. wh oh oops 😬 Tim was using false pretences to help me out by pretending to be someone else. He tricked me into listening to him, into trusting him. This has nothing to do about whether or not he Whatever. ok well first off PLEASE don’t tell him I told you he’ll kill me for real also who did you think he was??? What? like who did he tell you he was? Well he didn’t actually He never gave me a name or told me I just assumed it was a new vigilante or something 😶 I tried to look into it but he kept bouncing the signal and not even Babs knew for sure. so... Tim, known for his security and being a vigilante, used a VPN and you’re mad about it? bc he didn’t tell you who he was bc he knew you wouldn’t accept help from him?? I’m mad because he lied. He didn’t give me the choice to trust him or not. bc he knew you wouldn’t sorry Jay I know you’re upset and honesty is really important to you and I’m not telling you that he was right or that you’re wrong but you literally never gave him the time of day you never would have accepted help if you knew it was from him because you’re still holding onto your complex that he stole Robin from you He did! Jay I love you so much and every day I am so thankful you’re here but he didn’t you were dead and Bruce was falling apart and I couldn’t deal with it and a hundred other things a kid shouldn’t have had to pick up the pieces but he did and you can’t blame him for that I’m glad he’s Robin. I’m glad Damian’s Robin. I’m glad you were Robin, even for a little bit. it’s something from my family I can share with my little brothers. a way to connect us even without blood and if you’ll remember I’m pretty sure you took Robin first Yeah. I did. Sorry. I’m not. you were such a good Robin, Jay I’m so proud of you Yeah so I know you’re mad at Tim and that’s ok, and you don’t have to forgive him but maybe think about why he did it? and think about it without your preconceived prejudice of him might help Okay and for the love of GOD do NOT tell him that I told you about his crush please delete it from your brain Huh? What are we talking about? thanks Jay ♥️ love you ♥️ Love you, too.

 



 

 

  Tim

Hey. fdnsjak; UH HI?? tbh i thought you were never gonna talk to me again Yeah, me too. but? But. I realized you may not have had ulterior motives i didnt jay im so sorry i never meant for it to go that far i just wanted to help I know. I don’t forgive you for lying about who you were. (Or wern’t.) ok thats fair But. but? I never really gave you a chance before, so I guess I get it. oh ok cool But next time you wanna help just do it as yourself. yeah! i can do that Also learn some punctuation and capitalization. but my cool guy facade Sorry to break it to you kid, but any cool you had got taken out with the spleen. ???? Cool guys have spleens and don’t have to worry about eating red meat or sepsis. haha... Sepsis, Tim. it wasnt that bad!!! everyone just made a big deal out of nothing :\ You were dying alone in your apartment from SEPSIS. :\ And you STILL told me you would go out and get the information I needed. i couldve done it! i was still fine then the fever hadnt even set in yet I don’t even know how to respond to that Okay, new rule. ? Well, same as before but just reiterating it. You can help but ONLY if it’s not at the detriment to yourself. this means no bleeding out, no going out after you’ve been shot/stabbed/otherwise brutally maimed lame It’s called staying alive, sweetheart. Which is how I prefer you. oh really? Yes, really. I haven’t wanted you dead in a long time, Tim. You’re just really fucking annoying sometimes i know :) ok i wont almost die next time i help out Pinky promise? lol? This shit is serious. haha ok :) pinky promise Also ? A big birdy may or may not have told me about a certain Robin’s little crush i sorry give me one sec i have to kill dick :) ALSO HE WAS LYING i dont know what he said but he was lying HA That’s a shame. Guess I won’t be able to ask you out for coffee coffee? Well you’re still too young to drink, as you’ve frequently informed me. But if you don’t have a crush on me, I guess I won’t ask !!! no you can still ask i mean if you want crush notwithstanding Of course. of course So. so???? Wanna get coffee sometime? hmmm idk id have to check my very busy schedule Hm. hm! but im sure i can pencil you in :) Oh well if you’re sure. positive! positive i can pencil you in sorry mustve been a typo Clearly. Alright. Once you’re off of bedrest, it’s a date. !!!! ok! Now get some rest, I know you still have limited screen time. :( ok See you later ♥️ !!! <3
