He steps away as I stare, my throat locked shut because Jason looks so angry, and so hurt that I even considered that he would have actually touched me while I was down like this, and I can't find the words to try and make it any better. I had to know, and now I do, but god I can tell I've hurt him. I never meant to do that, I just had to know if he… I should have known better.
I am so mad at dick?! Bruce too, but honestly I've come to accept him putting his foot in his mouth, especially where family is concerned.
But at the same time, I understand WHY he needed to ask. There is nothing more terrifying than knowing you were out and about, doing things, having things done to you, and coming up completely blank. That utter uncertainty sets your teeth on edge.
But oh, it's all such a mess. Poor Jason, he did everything right and it feels like it STILL it wasn't enough for Dick to assume he's capable of basic decency.
Glad you like it so far! Yeah, especially with Dick's background. Memory loss has to be one of the nastiest things possible to a vigilante; they know all of the nasty things that it's possible they don't remember.
