Jason's back went up a notch when Dick's voice took on that note of kindness. He recognized that, too. He'd even gotten it a few times. And just like then, with the exception of when Jason was already too raw to snap back, it made him want to lash out. Kindness and pity always looked the same to him.
But he did have slightly more survival instinct than that, so he just gritted his teeth for a second and then blew out a breath. "It's Gotham. Nobody belongs here." By rights the place was a neverending shithole that never really got any better and they should just clear it out and blow it off the map, probably.
But it was the closest thing to a home Jason had ever had, so he didn't actually believe that.
He thought about it. He didn't know how to get back, and who knows if he could get near Bruce in this Gotham, if he was even around. Dick would probably have connections, or at least a hook up to someone who might fucking know something. It was better than stumbling around in the dark beating up randos. "Not in this Gotham," he said finally.
