"There was a time I wasn't," he admitted, because for a while there Bruce hadn't been his favourite person - he only hoped things improved for that Dick in the same way.
Then Jason picked up on the phrasing of his comments and Dick had to mentally kick himself, he knew he'd been saying too much but he'd hoped it was all vague enough that Jason wouldn't comment, but of course he did - Jason was very good at doing exactly what Dick didn't want him to do, apparently regardless of universe.
"Slade?" he said, partly out of genuine confusion and partly to buy himself some time to try and think of how to explain what had actually happened "Slade Wilson? Deathstroke? No, our Jason was never really involved with him at all..." Dick had tangled with him a few times. A lot of times, actually, but he didn't think Jason ever had.
"We... we thought he was dead because he was." as harsh as it was to tell the truth, lying felt worse "He was brought back, but he had actually died at the hands of the Joker..."
