No, this is me encouraging your fun, nothing-could-go-wrong bonding ideas. Who doesn't love gamblin'.

We both know chances are it'd go wrong. But who knows, maybe we'll get another precocious kid memory.

You

precious. And so was your vocabulary.

So, who goes first?

I'm thinkin' two. You?

Two's about the sweet spot.
['cause his memories usually suck.]
That mean you want me to start?

How 'bout we trade off.

Figured we would.
[but for now, he's gonna press play on the
first
memory.]
[as it plays out, he looks... frustrated, angry. but by the time it finishes, that anger is tempered with resignation. he doesn't really have high hopes for Bruce. not anymore.]
No kid memories today. Too bad.

[None of Nero's anger tapers out, though. If anything, it just grows and grows.]
What the fuck?!
You weren't even fighting back!!
What kinda father just-- beats on his own kid like that?!

That's just how it is with him. What, that's twice we've done that song and dance, or... whatever that falls under.
[he shrugs]
I'm just not the kid he likes.

Because you're not his son by blood?? Then why even take kids in to begin with...?
That's

Y'remember I'm almost twice Talon's age, right? Don't think Bruce knew about Talon until very recently.

That's still bullshit.
Playing favourites is bad enough. But treating you like that...
Re: LATER,

... Well, probably comes with the territory of letting a kid die fighting your battles.
Who coulda predicted.

If he lost you once, he should be fucking counting his blessings you came back at all. Nevermind back to
him.

I wouldn't go back for him. Obviously, he doesn't want me back at all. Thinks it's his.
But it's not.
[he sighs.]
... But, sure. Thanks.

...I fucking hate him so much, Jason. I want to
crush him.
[A pause, before a pained whine.]
He's just gonna keep hurting you.

There're better targets for your rage.
He is pretty shitty, though.
[he settles for a half-hearted shrug.]
Your turn.

[Nero's not as keen to just jump to the next subject though. He puts his hand over Jason's, firm and a little pleading]
He doesn't get to call himself 'good' if he turns around and does this. It's just wrong.
This isn't
normal.
It's shouldn't just be, 'oh, that's how he is'. You know that, right??

Jason...
[His face trembles, before he just-- buries himself into hugging Jason. Almost more for his own sake than for his.
It just. Hurt to think about. It wasn't fair.]

[it's a reaction he almost expects, at least enough to not get too bowled over.
and enough to try and calmly run his hand through nero's hair, massaging lightly to reassure him.]
He's long gone. But everything about this-- I'm used to it.

[Mutters,]
I wish you weren't.
You deserve better. I'll keep saying that as long as I need to.
You do.

Maybe not. You deserve what you get when you set something on fire.
[he pauses for a long time, and finally, glances away, admitting quietly,]
... I just wish he'd trust me.

You don't.
Not when setting fire's the way you know t'survive.
Even I know that, and I'm an idiot.
[Nero swallows the lump in his throat, and strokes Jason's hair]
If he can't, then
he
doesn't deserve you.
