“back then, B was the only one who got to know.” it was actually kinda weird to think about, now. for someone who had tracked down the original dynamic duo with fistfuls of evidence, he’d guarded his own identity zealously. his closest friends hadn’t known who he was for years, even when he wasn’t wearing a mask.
he thinks it’s past time for dear old Alvin Draper to find a permanent retirement.
Tim grinned as she finished her offer. the clarification. he’s always known she’s around for non-Oracle things, even if they were well past the ‘asking for a friend’ stage. “well… I can’t promise I’ll hang around every day, but I think I can manage being less of a stranger than Black Bat. deal?”
❝ setting the bar pretty low, i see. ❞ she can’t say she’s too surprised, as she knows it’s the natural order of things. kids grow up and set out on their own. she’d done the same. dick too. it was just how things were. but at the end of the day, they were family, and barbara always made sure they knew that big sis was always in their corner.
❝ i’ll take that compromise. ❞ she told him, resigning herself to the fact that she didn’t have much choice. it was still a little sad -- she missed cassandra something fierce, but this wasn’t about her right now. ❝ to what do i owe the pleasure of this visit today? ❞

in hindsight, calling up the one person who would actually ask questions? maybe not the move he should’ve gone with. though calling up anyone at all was a move he hadn’t anticipated for himself. “ i’m not hurt, ” he supplies. knows it might not be what she means, but it’s the best he’s got to swim alongside the inkling that this is a mistake. “ and truth be told i really wasn’t expecting you to be asleep at 11pm, so if i’m keeping you up, feel free to tell me to fuck off. ” punctuated by a very small, very quiet laugh that almost sounds more embarrassed than anything.
typically, no, barbara wouldn’t be asleep at 11pm. it was the height of when things were happening, especially in a place like gotham, but when you’d been up for nearly 48 hours before that, you had to give yourself sleep when you could. ❝ didn’t think you were. ❞ she replies, egging him a bit further to get to what was on his mind. ❝ it doesn’t matter if you need me. ❞ she concluded, because at the end of the day, she’d forego that rest if the family needed her. ❝ what’s going on, jason? ❞

❝ you know at the end of the day, when you close the door and you’re all alone … and you strip off your armor and lower your guard and peel away the mask … when there’s nobody watching and nothing to hide … and you no longer need to be strong or clever or pretty or brave … there’s just you. that’s it. that’s the soul. ❞ // ©

“ sorry. ” and it sounds genuine ; a quiet, begrudging pair of syllables he doesn’t commonly use. they sound strange from his lips. “ just uh … you, mind some company for a bit? i’ll bring coffee, ” tacked on at the end, either as incentive or apology ( and he’ll let her pick which ).
brows furrow as she notices his tone -- quiet, and most importantly sincere. it’s not like he’s not capable of it, but it certainly feels off, and his request matches it too. ❝ -- are you okay? ❞ she won’t beat around the bush with it.

❝ just sit for a bit. ❞ there’s already a cup of coffee on the table. it’s black for now, but she can fix it up however. it’s all barbara has, though, so she’ll have to deal with that. ❝ take a second to catch your breath, have a hot drink, and then we’ll talk. think you can handle that? ❞

❝ contrary to popular belief, i do like to sleep. ❞ her voice is groggy - definitely a bit irritated. this better be an emergency. ❝ what do you want, jason? ❞
