Jason's tired.
It's been a while since he saw a cape on his tail, but that doesn't mean they're not there. It just means they're getting better, which is so much worse, and if he thinks about it any harder he might actually explode.
"Fucking...birds," he says, drained enough that even that takes an effort. He's secured the perimeter around Lux's treehouse, but who knows how long that will hold. Steph is probably still out there somewhere, and Damian definitely is. He's probably scowling at them from a safe distance even now, biding his time, waiting for Jason's guard to drop before winging closer, and Jason can't - he can't take much more of this.
"Are you sure?" he asks, sprawled on the bed and twisting his head towards Lux. "It'd only be a few explosives. I could rig this place and only the people we don't want creeping in would know about it."

Jason's face is grim when he looks up at her. "If Batman comes. Just in case."

As a rule, she really tries to be sympathetic to the way Jason thinks and the reasons he does all of the strange things he does. But she genuinely cannot fathom why he would ever think living down in Rapture would be the better alternative to seeing Bruce. It scares her a little that this isn't just a notion, but something already done.

Falling silent with a stuttered breath, Jason rubs his fingers over the scar on his throat, a year healed and still red. "The last time I saw him, I got this. I asked him to kill the Joker, and he cut me instead. He hates me, Lux. The Joker's filled fucking graveyards full of people he cares about, and he'd rather put me down."

"I don't—" she begins, the words pinched off as her face crumples a bit; distressed, angry and fiercely implacable. Hearing things from Jason's side all this time, she'd never liked Bruce, but now she hates him.
"Will you tell me, at least?" she quietly asks, and brushes away a tear before it can fall. If he's suddenly gone, how is she supposed to know the reason?

"I'll figure it out. No matter what, Bucky won't let anything happen to anybody, okay? If you're scared, you go to him."
