( look he barely has the patience to deal with himself on a daily basis, let alone a second jason. and this guy, this stupid kid is being the stupid kid jason expects him to be and pulling stupid, shitty stunts and refusing to believe jack shit because clearly he'll do better, he won't get caught, he won't get the snot beat out of him and then blown up. god.

jason tried. he did his best. he's done trying. so he swings a hand around, this time moving to grip tight onto his collar. tries to pull this little shit in close so he can't try and kick his way out again.

this isn't even his problem. this kid isn't. he'll do whatever the hell he wants regardless and fuck himself over and end up just like him because fuck everything else, why would he bother listening? jason wouldn't. )

No. I'm saying you're a brat who's gonna end up as roadkill. That your reckless, cocky attitude's gonna get you killed, and Bats isn't gonna be around to save you. You climbed out of the goddamn gutter just to claw your way into one of the shittiest deaths you can imagine and one of the worst ways to come back from it. But you don't give a shit, do you?

( because why would he? nothing terrible's happened to him yet. )

Might was well put you out of your misery now.

( an empty threat, because there's no way he can just. kill himself like that. jason hasn't done anything to deserve it, aside from be an idiot. )
