Tim sat in the edge of the building next to Jason, swinging his feet and sipping a smoothie. He and Jason had just finished another mission together and though it was a success, it came with a cost. Tim was really beating himself up about it.
"Jason, really we shouldn't have-" Tim started to say, his voice laced with guilt.
"Seven billion people in the world, you're overreacting because we killed one man," Jason looked up sharply,
"But-" Tim begun to say before Jason interrupted.
"Seven. Billion. People. Now quit the complaining and drink you're smoothie."
Tim sighed and looked back down at thick pink beverage.
"He had a family, a life," He finally said, "who were we to take that away from him?"
"He was a criminal; a murder, a rapist. He deserved what he got. His death just makes the world a bit safer." Jason fired back.
"But Jason,"
"Enough Tim. I don't want to have this discussion right now." Tim boiling with anger now.
"Too bad, because you're going to. Jason, you can't keep doing this. It's illegal. If I was half the hero of what everyone else is, I'd drag you to the commissioner right now."
"Good for me you're more of a hero than them,"
"Don't try to get out of this with flattery. Jason, this needs to stop," Tim said pleadingly.
"And let Gotham go back to the way it was before I came back? I don't think so. It's better this way,"
"Jason, please,"
"Stop it! Stop saying my name like that!" Jason snapped.
"Like what?" Tim practically snarled back.
"Like I'm bomb that's going to go off at any moment."
"Well you kind of are. In case you didn't notice, you're the one who snapped at me," Tim said throwing his hands in the air.
"God dammit Tim. Can't you see I'm doing this for the greater good?" Jason pinched the bridge of his nose.
Tim was fuming. He'd had enough.
"Maybe so, but that doesn't make it right. If you won't take my request even into consideration then we can't work together. I'm sorry, goodbye Jason"
"Tim wait!" Jason desperately tried to call out, but was already gone.
