( he's not out here getting up to shenanigans tonight. there's a mask he puts on for that; masks the chip implanted in his brain, covers his face so no one can read him. it keeps any--personal ties from getting accidentally linked back to what he gets up to after hours. and in a city like this? having that distance is necessary. jason already figured that bit out when he completely fucked over the first ID that'd been attached to him; attracted enemies in high places determined to kill him off and targeted anyone else he was involved with.
lesson learned, for the most part. his daytime identity doesn't wear the same shit he does after hours, jason carries himself a little softer, wears dark-colored contacts when he's roaming where there's a higher chance of getting caught on camera, just in case someone backtracks his face to matches malone. a little bit of extra insurance.
which is why it's an absolutely stupid move (when he spots some kid chasing after idiots he'd been stealthily tailing to see what the hell they were up to) to get involved in exactly what's going on. it's instinct that has him following remembered alleyways to try and cut him off before he gets too close, instinct that has his arm raising just as he's rounding the corner just high enough to slam across shoulders to try and knock him down onto his back before he manages to get any closer. )
