Do you want to hear it now, from me? Or would you prefer to have it thrown at you during a mission? Or have Todd tell you about how another version of you had failed him so horribly - not by not being able to save him, but because Joker has continued to terrorize all of us to this day because you refuse to kill him?

( jason's story isn't damian's to tell. but bruce is damian's to protect, and he fully intends on keeping him from breaking down when he can't afford it. even if it means being the one to deliver news to him that he would rather not hear. )
