Bruce turns the safety back on, but he doesn't put down the gun. Instead, he keeps it in the air, aiming it steadily at the spot he'd just shot at. Despite the mannequin being very much not real, Bruce watches it warily, like it's going to pull out its own weapon in retaliation.
โLook closer,โ Bruce says quietly.
Jason frowns, following the invisible red dot at the muzzle of the gun. He has to squint for a moment, trying to work out where in the stuffied body of the mannequin the bullet would've hit, until he realises where Bruce is aiming. Dread fills his gut, an irrational and inexplicable pool of fear congealing disgustingly in every empty crevice of his body.
Bruce is aiming for the head.
(When Jason is thirteen, Bruce teaches him how to shoot a gun.)
love the impact of the non-linear storytelling! love a jason who still carries what bruce taught him, and a writer who draws from comics canon with regard to bruceโs relationship with guns. always, always thinking about the last line of this fic.
