Heh should probably update this 😩

Jason barely registered what Leslie said as he frantically tried to move his legs. Nothing was working.

“Bruce…,” his voice was raw and it hurt to talk. Jason jumped slightly as Bruce pulled him into a hug. He finally noticed Dick standing in front of the bed, face fighting to be either stoic or emotional. Jason pulled himself out of the hug with difficulty.

“You happy, Golden Boy?” He asked as he rubbed his nose, “I'm not your replacement anymore.” Bruce looked at Dick, whose face finally decided on emotional.

“Jason…,” Dick started. Jason didn't want to hear it. He turned his head to the side and crossed his arms, signalling to everyone that the conversation was over.

However in his brooding, he missed Dick's 'we need to talk’ look that he gave Bruce.

:'(

“What the hell happened Bruce?” Dick demanded. Jason had fallen asleep a few minutes ago and Bruce left the infirmary, stalking towards the computer. Dick followed, determined to speak to his old mentor.

“I thought you were in Blüdhaven,” Bruce asked, eyes not leaving the computer screen. His fingers danced over the keyboard and results kept popping up and disappearing.

“I was,” Dick huffed, annoyed, “I decided to help out on patrol, since your new Boy Wonder has been taking some hits.”

Bruce winced internally, really not wanting to have this conversation right now. Joker was out there with Gordon, and time was ticking.

The Dynamic Duo had ran into Bane (in Jason's case, literally) and was left with a few bruises. Bane was taken out, thanks to Jason's creative thinking, but Bane still got some good hits on the young boy.

“What is going on, Bruce?” Bruce sighed as another result popped up a negative.

“Joker broke out of Arkham. He targeted Jim as his next victim so I had Jason watch him. I was here, trying to find Joker before he got to Jim, and I failed. Jim got taken and Jason was shot in the lower spine. He's paralyzed from the waist down,” Dick gaped at his old mentor, processing what he said.

“You let Jason go one on one with Joker?!” Dick finally found his words. His eyebrows furrowed in fury.

“What the actual fck Bruce? Jason is just a kid! He could've been killed!”

“Dick-” Bruce was cut off by the enraged 22 year old.

“No Bruce! You know Jason couldn't fight Joke! It was a trap and Jason and Gordon were the bait!” Dick opened his mouth to yell at the older vigilante more but stopped when he heard crying coming from the infirmary. Without hesitation, Bruce left the console and headed straight to Jason.
