( no, come here. he's even sitting up and holding an arm out. jason wants hugs. )
I'll let you know before I pull anything. Even message you every step and every place I'm at, if it makes you feel better. ( ah, but also. ) But I'm doing this by my rules, not Dick's.
[ he's all hugged out why does no one respect his personal space. but he'll allow it, only because jason has to be dealing with this shit about as well as he is. so. he'll come a little closer. ]
Is this what we're doing now? Playing good cop and bad cop to keep the heat off Morningstar?
No. I'm not doing this for Morningstar. ( jason always has other intentions.
if damian were anyone else from their family, he wouldn't share. )
El has secrets. The AIs must know a shitton more about all of this than we do. El, Cassius. And I'm not going to kiss El's ass or anyone else's. But working towards something we both want, proving I can handle myself and get shit done?
That's gonna go a lot further than just covering us for this one thing.
[ It's the leverage. The ability to use those brownie points in their favor. ]
It leaves a bad taste in my mouth. [ admitting it is... hard. ] I don't have a problem with AIs, I have a problem with weaponized AIs who don't share human morality. Seems like something my Father would do. Is something he'd do. And he'd be just as surprised when it all goes wrong as these idiots were.
It's the countless goddamn bodies. ( how many kids died, when cassius decided to play god? how many innocents were lying on the streets? how many begged for something to come save them right before they passed? )
I don't give a shit what they are, anyone who can watch that many people--regardless of what those people are--suffer and die for no fucking reason's a prick who doesn't deserve to live.
You live too long and you stop seeing humanity as anything other than a parasite. There's...

That's what Ra's intends to do back in my world. For the sake of the planet he wants to thin the population. [ and he was playing right along with it ] I imagine this is something similar.
( like maybe damian's grandfather is an insane evil mastermind who has lived for forever and a half by dipping himself in evil green sludge but damian's pretty okay usually. )
I won't say shit about Talia, I'd be braindead on a street corner without her. But Ra's? The way he pulls shit? I wouldn't trust him with anything.
The entire world is technology and they're incredibly advanced AI. For all we know, they're listening in on every conversation we're having regardless of where and how it's happening.
Damian. ( brows furrowed, but jason's leaning down to set the glass on the floor. stands himself up after to take a step forward. ) You're not like him. You're better. Given a lot of shit that was happening with you? No sane, rational person's gonna put any of the blame on you.
( ok now that he's cleared that out. )
If they're listening, I don't give a shit. If El wants to use me, then El has to be okay with me using Morningstar, too.
