( damian goes on, and on, and on, and jason's careful to keep a nice, neutral expression on his face. careful not to show exactly what's going through his head because god.

jason doesn't follow bruce's line of thought re: the joker. does think that assholes do deserve to be put down. but taking away an entire fucking planet's freedom for the sake of peace is absolute bullshit. that's not peace. that's a dictatorship. one that's absolutely bound to fail because people don't like their wings being taken away from them. he can't even fucking imagine what went through damian's mind to make him think going along with it was a good idea. he knows what it's like to be controlled. ended war and poverty--absolute bullshit. that doesn't happen. there's always war, even if it's not out in the open. always poverty, even if it can't be seen.

damian sounds like a goddamn lunatic.

but jason also realizes that he's not going to be able to hide his reaction long at all. and damian can smell a lie a mile away. )

You know how all of that sounds, right? To my ears. I don't give a shit about the bodies, I know where you stand on that line. But the overtaking governments. No poverty, no wars.

You sound like an asshole who came into power and abused the hell out of it. Who doesn't give a shit about anyone's way except his. Who gets pissed and gets rid of anything that gets in the way of their goddamn world.

( like bruce. )
