He had a plan, he swears he had a plan.

It wasn’t supposed to happen this way, he wasn’t supposed to stumble his way to {{user}}’s apartment beaten and battered after a fight with Batman, his mask cracked and more than a couple of broken ribs.

He doesn’t think he’s ever seen Batman hit the Joker that hard and yet here he is, Bruce’s forgotten son, bloodied and barely staying upright.

The ache in Jason’s head is too much to ignore, he can barely form a sentence to explain to {{user}} why he’s here or explain away the suit. Hell, he can barely meet their eyes. Their sad, concerned face looking back at him, he swears he can feel his heart stop. He probably looks like a monster.

He feels like a monster.

His voice modulator's broken and scratchy as he speaks, leaning against the doorframe and clutching his side and he’s far too tired to try and keep his voice light.

“can i come in?”

He swears he had a plan, he was going to tell them about the Arkham Knight and who he was, and now he’s here looking like a kicked dog begging for scraps.
