Protective:
Tim knows that Bruce is protective over him. And he knows that Dick is even more so. After the time when Dick had beaten the Joker to death when he thought said man had killed his little brother, Tim had finally seen a whole new side of the serious Nightwing, one he's not sure he ever wants to see again.
The Team don't know, haven't seen, that side of their all too calm-like-Yoda leader. So it stands to reason that when Tim told that story to Jaime, he'd scoffed and laughed it off, a He-won't-possibly-do-that look tossed at the masked boy.
Tim, however, hates to be told that he's wrong, especially when he's right. So it takes one mission against the Light, and Robin intentionally letting Deathstroke strike him across the middle and into the walls of the warehouse they were fighting in for the Team to finally get that he was right damn it.
"ROBIN!" Superboy, as well as others, yell in panic, a few others (Impulse) already rushing over to help him. Nightwing doesn't react, until he sees that his brother isn't getting up. And then, his muscles tense before he finishes off the guy he was fighting and heads straight for Deathstroke, sticks charged up with electricity to maximum efficiency (Pain).
In the end, it takes both Superboy and Wondergirl to pull him off the guy, and by that time, the villain was already an unrecognizable mess, the only indication that he was alive was the slight movement of his chest, although that was getting dangerously shallow.
By the wide-eyed looks being sent to their leader, Robin can guess tier thoughts, and they're not good at all. He should feel bad about showing this side of his brother to outsiders but all he feels is warm and fuzzy, secure in the fact that his brother indeed cares enough to kill a guy for him.
