[ Yeah. That sounds like him. There's a frown more than a sigh. ]
I'm sorry for that, too.
He's a different version of himself—somehow— [ Barbara doesn't like contemplating it, but then she's now dealing with it with a new, younger version of Damian and Dick, with the addition of another Bruce. Who, at least, is the right one, but now comes from beyond her, too.
It's a lot.
But it's also not Jason's problem. And she's not here to ask for his sympathy. ]
It doesn't make it better, but he won't remember that now at all.
Doesn't fucking matter. [Jason crosses his arms.] I got dropped on twice by that fucker. I don't know how much more 'you're not part of the family' that can get.
Damian hardly speaks for everyone. Either version of him was a child.
And the current one is ten.
[ It's too ludicrous to parse even as an insult. Damian thinking he gets to make everyone's choices is. Anyone else assuming a child leads them around by the nose, or the pointy-ears really needs to a small reality check. ]
He doesn't make my decision for me.
Just like Dick—and especially your Bruce—don't get to make yours.
