Probably dead in a sewer. Maybe still boosting tires, who knows. Maybe where I ended up is shit, too. Maybe it's not much better, worse in some places, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. He gave me a family. A home. Somewhere I could go back to if I needed it.
( damian's from different--circumstances. a different place, different world. but jason's sure he at least gets this much. )
Without him I wouldn't have you. Or Dick's irritating voice yammering on about stupid bullshit I don't care about, or Tim. I idolized him as a kid, y'know. Batman and Robin swinging around Gotham, stopping whatever loser they could find that night. I wanted it so bad, and--being Robin? That was the best time of my life. Bad shit happened, but it gave me the chance to soar. If I could go back in time and get the grimey, snot-nosed brat far away from the batmobile that night? Prevent all of this? I wouldn't.
( there are so many things he should fix, but being robin wasn't one of them. meeting bruce wasn't either. damian's world is fucked to all hell and back, sure--but he's not so sure about this bruce. doesn't want to cut ties before he knows. )
Cut ties with him, if you wanna. 's your choice. Just like cutting ties with me is. Maybe he is a fucked up monster just waiting for the chance to unleash hell on this place. But nobody knows how to stop him better than we do. And I doubt you'd be able to handle it all on your own.
