Jason guessed that went around too, Dick and Bruce's non-talking period. They got over it at home, too, more or less. But he doubted it was the same here as it was at home. Nothing really seemed to be, aside from Gotham being weird as hell.
Jason listened, frowning. It wasn't really a surprise. Most people who'd met him since he was a kid pretty much wrote him off for being dead or in jail before he was 18. So he'd already beat the odds by a bit. But there was something about hearing it ...
He was dead, Dick said. So he wasn't anymore, since Dick had talked about him in the present tense before. He didn't know how that worked either, but Jason didn't know if he wanted to. He wondered if this Jason had just been on his own too, if he died and no one knew for a while and then no one knew it wasn't true either.
Probably not. This Dick would care. Jason's was obligated. It was different.
"I never dealt that much with the Joker, he was inactive while I was Robin," Jason said instead of asking. "Wilson had an axe to grind with the Titans and I got in his way like an asshole. He held me captive a while and then dropped me off a balcony when you - other you - got there to see." Jason said it nonchalantly, like he hadn't been tortured and didn't still see himself falling behind his eyelids whenever he closed them. He was used to hiding those things. "A new guy caught me, so I was fine."
