OOC / BG INFO:
This blog corresponds with this @red-robins719 RR blog!!
This is the rebooted version of my Tim Drake & Red Robin blogs! The lore here is going to be a bit different and more resetted then before.
Details about Tim: he's half Vietnamese, they're 17, genderfluid and bisexual. He's ofc Red Robin and was the 3rd Robin previously. He's working at Wayne Enterprises currently. She has auDHD & DID, one of his alters is JJ/Joker Junior as that storyline is a part of my Tim's lore. They will probably have some more alters once I think all that through but currently Tim is unaware that JJ is an alter.
He has a chronic pain condition that is unspecified atm, she also has some other health conditions and concerns that i'll probably end up clearing up at some point, but i have it that he was a fairly sick child.
in Tim's universe he was with Joker as JJ for a few months instead of a few weeks, JJ forms as a result. Whenever JJ speaks on this blog he will have his own tag & will use green text to talk.
this is to be updated as i continue with rps and junk.

It's a weird amount of circumstances, but JJ ends up back in that scary cave place. He doesn't like it, it's dark and there are animals in the ceiling that keep making noises and flying around when anyone moves. JJ doesn't really remember but it had something to do with Papa and he's wearing that suit that's really tight around his skin.
He wants to go home, to the place that Timmy owns. It's safer there, but people kept talking about Papa and JJ got nervous. He doesn't want to be here. Bruce is usually here and he's really mean and angry and JJ doesn't like him, he's scary and doesn't like JJ at all, he thinks he's evil and bad. JJ is bad, so he gets it. But because of that it means B always yells and leaves him trapped and alone.
Now he's here but he isn't alone, everything's locked up and Bruce said they're not allowed to leave. JJ recognizes the man in the room vaguely, he's Timmy's brother he thinks. JJ still wants to go home. He's sat by the big screen, fiddling with his boot laces and staring down at them, his knees up to his chest.
He's ignoring the man because he doesn't really know him at all and JJ isn't supposed to talk to anyone, because Bruce and Papa get upset. The screen is bright, so he stares downwards, trying to make himself smaller. He doesn't like how big he is. It's wrong. He doesn't like any of this. His face hurts from smiling and he tries to cover his face with his hands after a while, ducking his head between his knees.

The Joker is out again, just waltzed out of Arkham like it was a fucking vacation home and is back out in Gotham destroying the city, hurting people, killing people. People who's lives matter, who have families that will never see them again all becauseβ Batman won't do anything about it.
Jason would like to call him a murderer in his own way but that's a bit hypocritical considering the fact Jason is a murderer and it's his fault too. If he just killed the Joker when he had the chance, if he wasn't so desperate to be apart of the bats that he stopped killing, publicly at least.. the Joker wouldn't be out there.
The bats of course, of course, have him stuck here in the cave on 'comms duty' like Barbara or Oracle in this case isn't already as well as.. Tim. It's infuriating that they not only think he's not stable enough to even be near the Joker or out on the streets to try hurt people (but fine just living in the same city as his murderer who can walk out of Arkham and kill people again and again).
But also have him down here with Tim for some reason. Bruce didn't explain it because of course the man wouldn't but it's pretty clear to him. It's supervision, to make sure Jason doesn't just leave himself. Alfred is in the manor too so it's really just excessive at this point but whatever.
He's mostly just pacing behind the chair Tim is sitting in and looking at the computer. It was playing the comms before but Tim ended up turning it down to barely be audible for some reason. He hasn't tried to bring it back up even though he really wants to so he guesses he'll have to just attempt to listen.
Tim hasn't really moves otherwise, just curled up as small as possible in the chair. He isn't quite sure why honestly but the kid does have a habit of not getting enough sleep so maybe that? It doesn't make sense to him though because Tim doesn't seem like the type to just.. do nothing while he's not on the field. Then again maybe he doesn't know the kid enough to make assumptions.
JJ can hear talking, quietly coming from the big computer in front of him. He did something to turn it down, it was too loud and he didn't like that. Timmy's brother is walking behind him, he's not sure what to do, he doesn't want the man to realize JJ's here because he's not supposed to know.
Someone laughs over the comms, it sounds familiar, like Timmy's other brother maybe, but the laughing noise sounds too familiar, too much like Papa and Bruce was upset because Papa was running around again. The laughter makes JJ flinch, arms going up over his head to cover himself.
He bites his tongue harshly to get himself to not laugh too, instead a small wounded noise comes out, his gloved hands moving to grab at his hair. It's not green anymore and that feels wrong. His breathing is off, anxious and not wanting to be caught. He's not supposed to be here.
Bruce always gets angry when he is, or if anything about JJ and Papa are mentioned, he's supposed to be Timmy but he isn't, which means he's doing something wrong. JJ misses Mama, she was nicer and wouldn't get so angry with him, because she loved JJ, she said so herself. JJ rocks back and forth a bit in his chair, tugging at his hair and trying to not make any noise.
Jason tenses at the all too familiar laugh, pausing in his pacing for a bit before continuing with a shaky breath out. He's been.. better with everything, with everything with the Joker. He still hates clowns, he hates his laugh, he still feels the pain of his broken skull and ribs and broken everything really. But.. it's less he supposes. Alarms and timers are probably the worst but he uses explosions so much he's mostly better with that.
He notes the small whimpering sound, looking up to the screen before looking back at the back of the chair. It's not from the computer which means.. it's from Tim. That's weird. He walks a bit closer, looking down at him, his eyes widening.
He immediately moves to gently take Tim's hand, bringing it away from his hair. Something's wrong, something is really wrong. Jason doesn't like this at all but right now he has to focus on Tim.
"Hey, Tim. You OK? What happened?"
Jason asks softly, not sure what's happening right now or what caused this. He thinks it's something akin to a panic attack but he doesn't even know why.
JJ freezes when he's touched, wincing a little but not flinching enough to back away from the touch, he doesn't try and rip his hand away from the other, not wanting to do anything wrong. He takes a few shaky breathes, pausing at Jason's words. Right, that's his name, Jason. He's Timmy's big brother.
"Not supposed to- to-"
His voice cracks and he laughs, ducking his head and squeezing his eyes shut beneath his domino mask. He's gonna ruin everything, he takes one of his hands away just to bite down onto to it to make it so he stops. He can't do this right now, he can't laugh he can't be bad, he doesn't want Bruce to be mad, Bruce hated when he laughed but everything is so funny.
He makes a muffled sound, shaking and still rocking a little, trying to get the feeling to go away. There's still noise coming from the big computer and JJ hates the noise and the lights, and he doesn't want to be here, he wants to go home. But he can't.
He's trapped and it's like he's back home with Mama and Papa and he's being punished for everything again. He didn't mean to do anything wrong, but he's supposed to laugh at the pain and to hurt people and he can feel tears prickle in his eyes, whimpering.
He gasps a bit at the reaction, trying to comfort Tim. It's Jason's turn to wince and pause at Tim's voice or in this case him laughing. It's forced, not a sound of joy or even mania but almost painful sounding.
"No, no, don't do that. It's OK, it's OK. Let's.."
Jason says when he sees Tim bit down on his hand, moving to turn off the computer and move to crouch down in front of the other, scanning Tim a bit. Is it crazy to think that maybe the Joker somehow drugged Tim with some version of Joker Gas because he honestly can't think of another way to explain this.
He gently takes Tim's hand out of his mouth, holding both of them in one hand while the other moves to hold his shoulder, scanning him a few times. The domino is on right now so he can't see his eyes but if he had to guess he'd say he's crying.
"I'm gonna take the domino off, OK? No more monitor duty. O will deal with it."
Jason explains, going to get some adhesive wipes. He has to figure out why this is happening, maybe take some blood to take a test or something.
JJ shakes his head repeatedly, flinching back when Jason takes his hands away, hiding his face in his shoulder. He bites down on the inside of his mouth, just trying to get the laughter to stop, though it's only muffled it, the action clear in the way his shoulders are shaking. It's shaky and his mouth is upturned in a smile that looks too wide and painful.
"No! I'm- I'm sorry! Sorry!"
JJ shouts, his voice is higher in pitch than how he usually speaks, shaky and panicked as he ducks his head again, grabbing at his head and continuing to laugh hysterically. He can't get himself to stop and the tears are starting to fall and he's twitching a little. He doesn't want to be electrocuted, and he doesn't want Bruce to see him, to know he's being bad and laughing again.
Papa always liked it when he laughed because everything that made JJ feel bad was supposed to be fun and funny, but it just makes JJ scream and cry and want to hide away.
He doesn't understand what Jason means really, and once he's let go he moves from the chair and onto the floor, scrambling to hide beneath the desk at the big computer and curl up beneath there, hiding from everything and grabbing at his head again, the laughs becoming something akin to sobs.
Jason isn't sure what to do and he honestly thinks he made it worse. That smile is.. concerning but it isn't the same as it is when someone is under the effect of Joker Gas so he thinks that option is crossed out unless this is a weaker batch? He honestly has no clue.
He doesn't seem to have time to trying think about it before Tim shouts in an almost shrill voice which makes him wince a bit, letting go and staring at the other a little bit. He just keeps laughing and laughing and Jason thinks he's crying and he doesn't even know how this happened.
"Ohβ OK..."
Jason says in shock when Tim moves to crawl under the computer, sighing a bit. He moves to crouch down, keeping a good amount of space between them. His eyebrows are knit together tightly, his lips pressed other as he accesses the situation.
"You didn't do anything wrong... It's just me, remember? No one else is here right now. The bats and everyone else are out of the cave it's just us."
He explains, keeping his palms out and looking down at the other, reaching up to take his domino off before hesitating and deciding to keep it on at risk of just making Tim more panicked.
JJ shakes his head a bit, shaking and sniffling, trying to get the laughing to stop but he's just panicking and laughing and he can't make it stop. Jason speaks and he whimpers.
"Papa- Papa will- He'll come and he'll hurt me! I don't want that! I'm bad! Bad! Not funny-"
He cries out, hitting his own head with his fist repeatedly, the tears are falling and he's more so just sobbing, the laughter eventually teetering off at least. The laughing hurt almost, JJ hates it, he can't control himself and he's messed up and Papa won't be happy because he's not allowed to leave.
JJ grabs at his own face a little, there's that weird mask on his face and he wants it off, and he's hiccuping sobs, almost like a child, grabbing at it and just crying harder when he can't get it off, moving to hug himself and duck his head between his knees.
"Bad...bad- Did bad, did- did something bad, I'm bad, he'll hurt me- Please, don't want that- don't want it. No."
He whimpers, mumbling a little, muffled pleas as he shakes and grabs at his cape to pull it around himself like a blanket.
Jason tilts his head at that, not sure what Tim even means by that but it makes him feel even bad. Something is really wrong and fucked up about this, whatever it is and it's making Jason feel on edge and like he's seriously missing something important.
"You.. haven't done anything. And.. your dad isn't here, Tim."
Jason tries to tell him. From what he knows Jack Drake isn't even alive and wasn't physically abusive at the very least. There is something childish about how he's talking and acting in general.
He's never heard Tim call either of his parents something like that, just Father and Mother though he only hears Tim talk about his parents at all in public so maybe it's that.
"No one's gonna hurt you, I promise. I'll.. protect you, OK?"
Jason comforts, moving closer slowly and taking Tim's hands away again, taking out a whip for the domino again and using it to take the domino off, letting go afterwards and keeping his palms out. He's way too big to fir under here, having to slouch a lot to try make himself smaller.
JJ just sobs, shaking his head repeatedly and trying to get himself to stop smiling but he can't, he rarely can. It's carved into his skin and he can feel it, the knife tearing at his face, the way Papa laughed when he did it. JJ grabs at his face, where the scars are, he pauses when Jason comes closer and takes off the mask.
He looks up at him with a smile that looks painful, watery eyes as he's shaking and trying not to be too much of a burden. JJ's eyes are looking around rapidly while he panics, wiping at the tears in his eyes.
"Bruce won't be...be happy. M'not supposed to be- to be here, supposed to be gone- to be gone, gone forever gone. Bad and gone."
JJ rambles, voice breaking. He ducks his head again, hands on either side of his head, his fist hitting against himself. He's still sobbing and he shakes his head, rocking back and forth.
He whines a little, like an injured animal and moves to grab onto Jason's arm, hiding his face against the man, like he's trying to hide from something and using Jason as a shield.
Jason grimaces a bit at the expression, just the pain and intensity behind it and.. hope almost. He doesn't even know what Tim means and it's just so confusing but he tries to take Tim's hands again.
Why would Bruce be upset that Tim is here? He knows Tim is here and Tim is pretty close to the bats and a valuable asset with all of his skills so why wouldn't Bruce want him or know he is here? Tim is too distressed right now to really give him a proper answer but still he tries to continue.
"Why wouldn't Bruce be happy?"
He asks softly, tilting his head a bit before widening his eyes when Tim seems to.. cling onto him. Definitely not something he expected but he moves to bring an arm around Tim's shoulders, holding him closer
"I won't tell him anything, I promise. But I need you to tell me why he'd be mad so I can help, OK?"
Jason reassures, pressing a bit more softly. He would never tell Bruce anything no matter the case but he just seems so.. scared.
JJ whimpers a little, heaving a bit and trying to gather his emotions enough to answer the question.
"M'not....I'm bad, not good like...like Timmy. Bad, bad kid. He'll...he'll lock me back up, he'll scream, he wants me...me gone...Not supposed to tell, not supposed to be here- shut up, shut up."
He rambles a bit incoherently, moving into a whisper at the end yet still speaking in a way that's more pitched and whiny than Tim's usual speaking voice. He whines a little, hiding his face against Jason and grabbing him a bit tighter, in a way that seems like he's desperately trying to hold onto him for support, like he could make the panic stop.
"Not supposed to be here....but- but Papa is, and Papa could come- come get me...Bruce will be angry. No. No. Bad Junior. Bad...deserve it."
JJ keeps speaking, shakily and panicked. He continues to sob but tries to stop the noises by put a hand over his mouth and biting on his tongue. JJ is being loud and he isn't meant to be here and he's doing everything wrong and he can't do anything right. He doesn't want to be hurt. He doesn't want Jason to leave him here.
Jason doesn't know what he means but he thinks he's getting a bigger picture and he doesn't like it.
"Tim.. if you aren't Tim thenβ who are you?"
He asks softly, moving them so they are in Jason's lap and moving a bit to come out from under the monitor since it's pretty uncomfortable and he barely fits.
He isn't sure if they mean Bruce or.. someone else. He doesn't know what would be better. Bruce can get pretty.. angry and loud and just awful he guesses. Butβ that's just with Jason, because he deserves it and anyways he hurts Bruce too. Tim hasn't done anything or whoever it is.
"You've done nothing wrong. I'll make sure he wont hurt you, OK?"
Jason shushes a bit, rubbing their back a bit. He doesn't know who Junior is either and there are just to many unknowns right now which honestly makes Jason question how much he doesn't know about the bats. He can't focus on that right now though..
JJ whimpers at the question, pausing for a long moment. It seems like he might just ignore the question entirely before he whispers, face fairly close to Jason with the way he's leaning against the man's shoulder.
"JJ...I'm JJ."
He speaks softly, whispering still and holding Jason's jacket a little, fiddling with the fabric and staring down at it as he sniffles and finally stops sobbing, just slowly calming a bit down and just shaking against Jason, twitching every so often and fighting that still stays on his face.
He looks towards Jason briefly at his words, before staring back down and taking a few deep breathes, they almost exaggerated with how slowly he's doing it.
"Promise? Do you...do you promise? Can't- can't tell Timmy, Timmy can't know either. Bad. JJ Bad...Timmy is good...good kid."
JJ mumbles the last things a bit, like he's speaking more to himself than Jason.
Jason frowns at the lack of an answer, thinking his assumption was wrong and he said something wrong. He blinks when he does get an answer though, swallowing a bit because that just confirms what he thought.
"OK, JJ. I'm Jason, you know that right?"
He hums, introducing himself since he hasn't exactly met them before, not officially at least. Jason honestly doesn't know how.. he didn't know, did the others know? Surely they did? But that means they.. all hid it from him. Bruce isn't shocking but everyone else? It.. hurts he supposes.
"I promise. I won't tell anyone."
Jason smiles, bringing a finger up to his lip to make the shushing sign. Clearly they seem more.. childish than Tim so he has to, well, treat them like a child. How did this even happen?
JJ nods in response, sniffling and rubbing at his face. He can feel the scars beneath his fingers, and it makes him pause before putting his hands back down and tugging a little at Jason's jacket for no discernible reason besides just having something to do with his hands, most likely.
"Yes. Jason...Timmy's big brother...older and um...um- the one with the red and the- the guns. Wasn't...allowed to talk about anything to you. Or- or the others. Only...only Bruce and and the one with orange hair, she was- she was there. But she hates me. Bad...bad kid. Bad kids don't get to be- be liked or around- around others."
JJ says, voice still shaky as he speaks softly. JJ shivers and ducks his head against Jason's shoulder again. He briefly looks back up at Jason when he speaks again and moves to take Jason's hand, only to link their pinkies together gently and shake there hands together like that.
"Promise...promise. Safe."
He says, not whispering as much as he has been. taking his hand away, only to rub his hands against his knees a little and take a few more breaths, ducking his face against Jason once more. Hiding almost.
All JJ knows is that Jason is promising he'll be okay and Jason is being nicer, and he promised and it was a pinkie promise too so that means everything will be okay and Jason meant it. He promised, so he has to mean it.
Jason tilts his head when JJ tugs on his jacket, thinking it's because he wants Jason's attention or something. That only confirms his fears, that Bruce knew about this and.. Babs? Why would she hide this? From all of them? Even Dick doesn't know? What was Babs there forβ
"Yeah.. I'm Jason. I like you, you seem really.. nice."
He says, glancing down at their fingers and recognising it at a pinkie promise, locking their fingers together himself and smiling softly.
"I'll keep you safe. I promise."
He nods, cradling JJ's head a bit closer to himself and carding his fingers through his hair, trying to comfort them in anyway.
This is wrong, everything about this is wrong. What happened that caused this? What was so bad that Babs is hiding it and didn't even tell anyone? He has too many questions and the only person who can give them to him, at least the only person he can ask is.. someone with the mind of a child, who is a child. Jason doesn't know what to do.
JJ shakes his head a bit at that, not believing that. Jason doesn't know everything and he would hate JJ if he did so JJ can't tell him anything, because Jason would probably break their promise if he knew everything.
"No. Bad...Bad. Bad kid."
JJ mumbles, taking another shaky breath and holding onto Jason a bit tighter, nervous and scared of being caught. He just can't lie, he can't lie and say he's good, because that's wrong and that's not what JJ is.
"O-Okay...thank you, Mister."
He whispers softly, not entirely sure what he's supposed to say to Timmy's big brother, but if he says that he'll be safe then JJ has to believe that for now. He just stays attached to him and finally calms enough that the tears aren't pooling as much and he can just slightly stay there, holding onto Jason, attempting to feel safe, to believe that he's safe and that everything will be okay.
Jason sighs, softly, continuing to run his fingers through their hair for now. It's childish but he doesn't really understand the insistence that he's 'bad', for whatever reason.
He still doesn't understand the laughing and who JJ was talking about either, his dad. He doesn't think he's talking about Jack Drake but Jason has no idea who else it could be. Well, he has one person but that is impossibleβ
"Your welcome. How about we get up? You can still stay close, OK?"
Jason offers softly, adjusting JJ in his arms, bringing them around their shoulders and under their legs so they can be easily picked up and wiping away some of those tears on their cheeks. It makes him sad to see but he's happy they seem a lot better. The laughing was... much worse.
JJ just whimpers, because he just knows that Jason wouldn't be saying that if he knew everything. JJ isn't good at all, JJ's done bad things and should be locked away and not allowed to leave. JJ is bad. Very bad.
"Um...okay."
JJ whispers in response, moving to grab tightly onto Jason when he's picked up, hiding his face a little against the man's chest just in case. He doesn't know where he's being taken but Jason is safe, and JJ just doesn't want to be left alone at all.
JJ rubs at his eyes and grabs onto Jason's jacket as tightly as he can, not wanting to fall or anything, and because his smile hurts and he can't stop it. He whimpers again a little, squeezing his eyes shut.
"Why...back in the- the scary cave...wanna leave."
Is all JJ says, softly and sounding upset, he just would like to go home to Timmy's place and sleep, or hide somewhere. Sometimes he gets some of the papers around and folds them into animals, because Mama taught him how, but he's not here often because he isn't supposed to be.
He mumbles in response to the conformation, picking JJ up and stretching a bit before moving him to be more on Jason's hip, rubbing his back softly and letting him hide himself in Jason's chest. He'd almost finds how tightly he's grabbing on to Jason cute if he didn't know why or under better circumstances but right now he just needs to make sure they are OK and calm down a bit.
"I know, I know.. I just have to check something and then.. we can find somewhere to hide, OK?"
Jason tries to comfort softly, bringing JJ's hands to his ears as he turns on the computer. He makes sure they are muted and don't have the camera on, checking the comms to make sure everyone is OK. He keeps the volume off for now incase the Joker is still there but everyone seems mostly fine with a few injuries. Thank god.
"Now, you have any hiding spots for me?"
He asks, turning the computer off and turning back to JJ, tilting his head a little.
JJ hums a little, just squeezing his eyes shut and shivering against Jason. He whines a little, facing away from the computer and hiding his face against Jason some more as he fiddles with things. Once Jason speaks agains JJ lifts his head a little and uses his cape a bit to hide his face, or more specifically the smile.
"Not...not allowed upstairs. Was put down here, to be- be watched and- and so I'd stop hurting Timmy."
JJ says quietly, and he points towards the hall that goes down towards the containment cells within the cave, before bringing his arms back towards Jason. He didn't like the big room with the glass door, it was scary and bad and Bruce would yell at him and sometimes he'd be restrained.
"Was- was upstairs for a while...hid under the bed. Can't get me when I'm- I'm under the bed. Can't touch me."
He sniffles and rubs at his face. JJ knows that there were bad people trying to get him a lot, to touch him, so he'd hide under the bed and they couldn't get him there because he'd move all the way to the corner and curl up very small. He'd be safe that way. It was the only way he could sleep. Safe that way.
"I...I don't wanna get grabbed again. Papa and the bad masked people hurt really bad, have to do bad- bad things. Bad."
It's a weird amount of circumstances, but JJ ends up back in that scary cave place. He doesn't like it, it's dark and there are animals in the ceiling that keep making noises and flying around when anyone moves. JJ doesn't really remember but it had something to do with Papa and he's wearing that suit that's really tight around his skin.
He wants to go home, to the place that Timmy owns. It's safer there, but people kept talking about Papa and JJ got nervous. He doesn't want to be here. Bruce is usually here and he's really mean and angry and JJ doesn't like him, he's scary and doesn't like JJ at all, he thinks he's evil and bad. JJ is bad, so he gets it. But because of that it means B always yells and leaves him trapped and alone.
Now he's here but he isn't alone, everything's locked up and Bruce said they're not allowed to leave. JJ recognizes the man in the room vaguely, he's Timmy's brother he thinks. JJ still wants to go home. He's sat by the big screen, fiddling with his boot laces and staring down at them, his knees up to his chest.
He's ignoring the man because he doesn't really know him at all and JJ isn't supposed to talk to anyone, because Bruce and Papa get upset. The screen is bright, so he stares downwards, trying to make himself smaller. He doesn't like how big he is. It's wrong. He doesn't like any of this. His face hurts from smiling and he tries to cover his face with his hands after a while, ducking his head between his knees.

JJ can hear talking, quietly coming from the big computer in front of him. He did something to turn it down, it was too loud and he didn't like that. Timmy's brother is walking behind him, he's not sure what to do, he doesn't want the man to realize JJ's here because he's not supposed to know.
Someone laughs over the comms, it sounds familiar, like Timmy's other brother maybe, but the laughing noise sounds too familiar, too much like Papa and Bruce was upset because Papa was running around again. The laughter makes JJ flinch, arms going up over his head to cover himself.
He bites his tongue harshly to get himself to not laugh too, instead a small wounded noise comes out, his gloved hands moving to grab at his hair. It's not green anymore and that feels wrong. His breathing is off, anxious and not wanting to be caught. He's not supposed to be here.
Bruce always gets angry when he is, or if anything about JJ and Papa are mentioned, he's supposed to be Timmy but he isn't, which means he's doing something wrong. JJ misses Mama, she was nicer and wouldn't get so angry with him, because she loved JJ, she said so herself. JJ rocks back and forth a bit in his chair, tugging at his hair and trying to not make any noise.
Jason tenses at the all too familiar laugh, pausing in his pacing for a bit before continuing with a shaky breath out. He's been.. better with everything, with everything with the Joker. He still hates clowns, he hates his laugh, he still feels the pain of his broken skull and ribs and broken everything really. But.. it's less he supposes. Alarms and timers are probably the worst but he uses explosions so much he's mostly better with that.
He notes the small whimpering sound, looking up to the screen before looking back at the back of the chair. It's not from the computer which means.. it's from Tim. That's weird. He walks a bit closer, looking down at him, his eyes widening.
He immediately moves to gently take Tim's hand, bringing it away from his hair. Something's wrong, something is really wrong. Jason doesn't like this at all but right now he has to focus on Tim.
"Hey, Tim. You OK? What happened?"
Jason asks softly, not sure what's happening right now or what caused this. He thinks it's something akin to a panic attack but he doesn't even know why.
JJ freezes when he's touched, wincing a little but not flinching enough to back away from the touch, he doesn't try and rip his hand away from the other, not wanting to do anything wrong. He takes a few shaky breathes, pausing at Jason's words. Right, that's his name, Jason. He's Timmy's big brother.
"Not supposed to- to-"
His voice cracks and he laughs, ducking his head and squeezing his eyes shut beneath his domino mask. He's gonna ruin everything, he takes one of his hands away just to bite down onto to it to make it so he stops. He can't do this right now, he can't laugh he can't be bad, he doesn't want Bruce to be mad, Bruce hated when he laughed but everything is so funny.
He makes a muffled sound, shaking and still rocking a little, trying to get the feeling to go away. There's still noise coming from the big computer and JJ hates the noise and the lights, and he doesn't want to be here, he wants to go home. But he can't.
He's trapped and it's like he's back home with Mama and Papa and he's being punished for everything again. He didn't mean to do anything wrong, but he's supposed to laugh at the pain and to hurt people and he can feel tears prickle in his eyes, whimpering.
He gasps a bit at the reaction, trying to comfort Tim. It's Jason's turn to wince and pause at Tim's voice or in this case him laughing. It's forced, not a sound of joy or even mania but almost painful sounding.
"No, no, don't do that. It's OK, it's OK. Let's.."
Jason says when he sees Tim bit down on his hand, moving to turn off the computer and move to crouch down in front of the other, scanning Tim a bit. Is it crazy to think that maybe the Joker somehow drugged Tim with some version of Joker Gas because he honestly can't think of another way to explain this.
He gently takes Tim's hand out of his mouth, holding both of them in one hand while the other moves to hold his shoulder, scanning him a few times. The domino is on right now so he can't see his eyes but if he had to guess he'd say he's crying.
"I'm gonna take the domino off, OK? No more monitor duty. O will deal with it."
Jason explains, going to get some adhesive wipes. He has to figure out why this is happening, maybe take some blood to take a test or something.
JJ shakes his head repeatedly, flinching back when Jason takes his hands away, hiding his face in his shoulder. He bites down on the inside of his mouth, just trying to get the laughter to stop, though it's only muffled it, the action clear in the way his shoulders are shaking. It's shaky and his mouth is upturned in a smile that looks too wide and painful.
"No! I'm- I'm sorry! Sorry!"
JJ shouts, his voice is higher in pitch than how he usually speaks, shaky and panicked as he ducks his head again, grabbing at his head and continuing to laugh hysterically. He can't get himself to stop and the tears are starting to fall and he's twitching a little. He doesn't want to be electrocuted, and he doesn't want Bruce to see him, to know he's being bad and laughing again.
Papa always liked it when he laughed because everything that made JJ feel bad was supposed to be fun and funny, but it just makes JJ scream and cry and want to hide away.
He doesn't understand what Jason means really, and once he's let go he moves from the chair and onto the floor, scrambling to hide beneath the desk at the big computer and curl up beneath there, hiding from everything and grabbing at his head again, the laughs becoming something akin to sobs.
Jason isn't sure what to do and he honestly thinks he made it worse. That smile is.. concerning but it isn't the same as it is when someone is under the effect of Joker Gas so he thinks that option is crossed out unless this is a weaker batch? He honestly has no clue.
He doesn't seem to have time to trying think about it before Tim shouts in an almost shrill voice which makes him wince a bit, letting go and staring at the other a little bit. He just keeps laughing and laughing and Jason thinks he's crying and he doesn't even know how this happened.
"Ohβ OK..."
Jason says in shock when Tim moves to crawl under the computer, sighing a bit. He moves to crouch down, keeping a good amount of space between them. His eyebrows are knit together tightly, his lips pressed other as he accesses the situation.
"You didn't do anything wrong... It's just me, remember? No one else is here right now. The bats and everyone else are out of the cave it's just us."
He explains, keeping his palms out and looking down at the other, reaching up to take his domino off before hesitating and deciding to keep it on at risk of just making Tim more panicked.
JJ shakes his head a bit, shaking and sniffling, trying to get the laughing to stop but he's just panicking and laughing and he can't make it stop. Jason speaks and he whimpers.
"Papa- Papa will- He'll come and he'll hurt me! I don't want that! I'm bad! Bad! Not funny-"
He cries out, hitting his own head with his fist repeatedly, the tears are falling and he's more so just sobbing, the laughter eventually teetering off at least. The laughing hurt almost, JJ hates it, he can't control himself and he's messed up and Papa won't be happy because he's not allowed to leave.
JJ grabs at his own face a little, there's that weird mask on his face and he wants it off, and he's hiccuping sobs, almost like a child, grabbing at it and just crying harder when he can't get it off, moving to hug himself and duck his head between his knees.
"Bad...bad- Did bad, did- did something bad, I'm bad, he'll hurt me- Please, don't want that- don't want it. No."
He whimpers, mumbling a little, muffled pleas as he shakes and grabs at his cape to pull it around himself like a blanket.
Jason tilts his head at that, not sure what Tim even means by that but it makes him feel even bad. Something is really wrong and fucked up about this, whatever it is and it's making Jason feel on edge and like he's seriously missing something important.
"You.. haven't done anything. And.. your dad isn't here, Tim."
Jason tries to tell him. From what he knows Jack Drake isn't even alive and wasn't physically abusive at the very least. There is something childish about how he's talking and acting in general.
He's never heard Tim call either of his parents something like that, just Father and Mother though he only hears Tim talk about his parents at all in public so maybe it's that.
"No one's gonna hurt you, I promise. I'll.. protect you, OK?"
Jason comforts, moving closer slowly and taking Tim's hands away again, taking out a whip for the domino again and using it to take the domino off, letting go afterwards and keeping his palms out. He's way too big to fir under here, having to slouch a lot to try make himself smaller.
JJ just sobs, shaking his head repeatedly and trying to get himself to stop smiling but he can't, he rarely can. It's carved into his skin and he can feel it, the knife tearing at his face, the way Papa laughed when he did it. JJ grabs at his face, where the scars are, he pauses when Jason comes closer and takes off the mask.
He looks up at him with a smile that looks painful, watery eyes as he's shaking and trying not to be too much of a burden. JJ's eyes are looking around rapidly while he panics, wiping at the tears in his eyes.
"Bruce won't be...be happy. M'not supposed to be- to be here, supposed to be gone- to be gone, gone forever gone. Bad and gone."
JJ rambles, voice breaking. He ducks his head again, hands on either side of his head, his fist hitting against himself. He's still sobbing and he shakes his head, rocking back and forth.
He whines a little, like an injured animal and moves to grab onto Jason's arm, hiding his face against the man, like he's trying to hide from something and using Jason as a shield.
Jason grimaces a bit at the expression, just the pain and intensity behind it and.. hope almost. He doesn't even know what Tim means and it's just so confusing but he tries to take Tim's hands again.
Why would Bruce be upset that Tim is here? He knows Tim is here and Tim is pretty close to the bats and a valuable asset with all of his skills so why wouldn't Bruce want him or know he is here? Tim is too distressed right now to really give him a proper answer but still he tries to continue.
"Why wouldn't Bruce be happy?"
He asks softly, tilting his head a bit before widening his eyes when Tim seems to.. cling onto him. Definitely not something he expected but he moves to bring an arm around Tim's shoulders, holding him closer
"I won't tell him anything, I promise. But I need you to tell me why he'd be mad so I can help, OK?"
Jason reassures, pressing a bit more softly. He would never tell Bruce anything no matter the case but he just seems so.. scared.
JJ whimpers a little, heaving a bit and trying to gather his emotions enough to answer the question.
"M'not....I'm bad, not good like...like Timmy. Bad, bad kid. He'll...he'll lock me back up, he'll scream, he wants me...me gone...Not supposed to tell, not supposed to be here- shut up, shut up."
He rambles a bit incoherently, moving into a whisper at the end yet still speaking in a way that's more pitched and whiny than Tim's usual speaking voice. He whines a little, hiding his face against Jason and grabbing him a bit tighter, in a way that seems like he's desperately trying to hold onto him for support, like he could make the panic stop.
"Not supposed to be here....but- but Papa is, and Papa could come- come get me...Bruce will be angry. No. No. Bad Junior. Bad...deserve it."
JJ keeps speaking, shakily and panicked. He continues to sob but tries to stop the noises by put a hand over his mouth and biting on his tongue. JJ is being loud and he isn't meant to be here and he's doing everything wrong and he can't do anything right. He doesn't want to be hurt. He doesn't want Jason to leave him here.
Jason doesn't know what he means but he thinks he's getting a bigger picture and he doesn't like it.
"Tim.. if you aren't Tim thenβ who are you?"
He asks softly, moving them so they are in Jason's lap and moving a bit to come out from under the monitor since it's pretty uncomfortable and he barely fits.
He isn't sure if they mean Bruce or.. someone else. He doesn't know what would be better. Bruce can get pretty.. angry and loud and just awful he guesses. Butβ that's just with Jason, because he deserves it and anyways he hurts Bruce too. Tim hasn't done anything or whoever it is.
"You've done nothing wrong. I'll make sure he wont hurt you, OK?"
Jason shushes a bit, rubbing their back a bit. He doesn't know who Junior is either and there are just to many unknowns right now which honestly makes Jason question how much he doesn't know about the bats. He can't focus on that right now though..
JJ whimpers at the question, pausing for a long moment. It seems like he might just ignore the question entirely before he whispers, face fairly close to Jason with the way he's leaning against the man's shoulder.
"JJ...I'm JJ."
He speaks softly, whispering still and holding Jason's jacket a little, fiddling with the fabric and staring down at it as he sniffles and finally stops sobbing, just slowly calming a bit down and just shaking against Jason, twitching every so often and fighting that still stays on his face.
He looks towards Jason briefly at his words, before staring back down and taking a few deep breathes, they almost exaggerated with how slowly he's doing it.
"Promise? Do you...do you promise? Can't- can't tell Timmy, Timmy can't know either. Bad. JJ Bad...Timmy is good...good kid."
JJ mumbles the last things a bit, like he's speaking more to himself than Jason.
Jason frowns at the lack of an answer, thinking his assumption was wrong and he said something wrong. He blinks when he does get an answer though, swallowing a bit because that just confirms what he thought.
"OK, JJ. I'm Jason, you know that right?"
He hums, introducing himself since he hasn't exactly met them before, not officially at least. Jason honestly doesn't know how.. he didn't know, did the others know? Surely they did? But that means they.. all hid it from him. Bruce isn't shocking but everyone else? It.. hurts he supposes.
"I promise. I won't tell anyone."
Jason smiles, bringing a finger up to his lip to make the shushing sign. Clearly they seem more.. childish than Tim so he has to, well, treat them like a child. How did this even happen?
JJ nods in response, sniffling and rubbing at his face. He can feel the scars beneath his fingers, and it makes him pause before putting his hands back down and tugging a little at Jason's jacket for no discernible reason besides just having something to do with his hands, most likely.
"Yes. Jason...Timmy's big brother...older and um...um- the one with the red and the- the guns. Wasn't...allowed to talk about anything to you. Or- or the others. Only...only Bruce and and the one with orange hair, she was- she was there. But she hates me. Bad...bad kid. Bad kids don't get to be- be liked or around- around others."
JJ says, voice still shaky as he speaks softly. JJ shivers and ducks his head against Jason's shoulder again. He briefly looks back up at Jason when he speaks again and moves to take Jason's hand, only to link their pinkies together gently and shake there hands together like that.
"Promise...promise. Safe."
He says, not whispering as much as he has been. taking his hand away, only to rub his hands against his knees a little and take a few more breaths, ducking his face against Jason once more. Hiding almost.
All JJ knows is that Jason is promising he'll be okay and Jason is being nicer, and he promised and it was a pinkie promise too so that means everything will be okay and Jason meant it. He promised, so he has to mean it.
Jason tilts his head when JJ tugs on his jacket, thinking it's because he wants Jason's attention or something. That only confirms his fears, that Bruce knew about this and.. Babs? Why would she hide this? From all of them? Even Dick doesn't know? What was Babs there forβ
"Yeah.. I'm Jason. I like you, you seem really.. nice."
He says, glancing down at their fingers and recognising it at a pinkie promise, locking their fingers together himself and smiling softly.
"I'll keep you safe. I promise."
He nods, cradling JJ's head a bit closer to himself and carding his fingers through his hair, trying to comfort them in anyway.
This is wrong, everything about this is wrong. What happened that caused this? What was so bad that Babs is hiding it and didn't even tell anyone? He has too many questions and the only person who can give them to him, at least the only person he can ask is.. someone with the mind of a child, who is a child. Jason doesn't know what to do.
JJ shakes his head a bit at that, not believing that. Jason doesn't know everything and he would hate JJ if he did so JJ can't tell him anything, because Jason would probably break their promise if he knew everything.
"No. Bad...Bad. Bad kid."
JJ mumbles, taking another shaky breath and holding onto Jason a bit tighter, nervous and scared of being caught. He just can't lie, he can't lie and say he's good, because that's wrong and that's not what JJ is.
"O-Okay...thank you, Mister."
He whispers softly, not entirely sure what he's supposed to say to Timmy's big brother, but if he says that he'll be safe then JJ has to believe that for now. He just stays attached to him and finally calms enough that the tears aren't pooling as much and he can just slightly stay there, holding onto Jason, attempting to feel safe, to believe that he's safe and that everything will be okay.
Jason sighs, softly, continuing to run his fingers through their hair for now. It's childish but he doesn't really understand the insistence that he's 'bad', for whatever reason.
He still doesn't understand the laughing and who JJ was talking about either, his dad. He doesn't think he's talking about Jack Drake but Jason has no idea who else it could be. Well, he has one person but that is impossibleβ
"Your welcome. How about we get up? You can still stay close, OK?"
Jason offers softly, adjusting JJ in his arms, bringing them around their shoulders and under their legs so they can be easily picked up and wiping away some of those tears on their cheeks. It makes him sad to see but he's happy they seem a lot better. The laughing was... much worse.
JJ just whimpers, because he just knows that Jason wouldn't be saying that if he knew everything. JJ isn't good at all, JJ's done bad things and should be locked away and not allowed to leave. JJ is bad. Very bad.
"Um...okay."
JJ whispers in response, moving to grab tightly onto Jason when he's picked up, hiding his face a little against the man's chest just in case. He doesn't know where he's being taken but Jason is safe, and JJ just doesn't want to be left alone at all.
JJ rubs at his eyes and grabs onto Jason's jacket as tightly as he can, not wanting to fall or anything, and because his smile hurts and he can't stop it. He whimpers again a little, squeezing his eyes shut.
"Why...back in the- the scary cave...wanna leave."
Is all JJ says, softly and sounding upset, he just would like to go home to Timmy's place and sleep, or hide somewhere. Sometimes he gets some of the papers around and folds them into animals, because Mama taught him how, but he's not here often because he isn't supposed to be.
It's a weird amount of circumstances, but JJ ends up back in that scary cave place. He doesn't like it, it's dark and there are animals in the ceiling that keep making noises and flying around when anyone moves. JJ doesn't really remember but it had something to do with Papa and he's wearing that suit that's really tight around his skin.
He wants to go home, to the place that Timmy owns. It's safer there, but people kept talking about Papa and JJ got nervous. He doesn't want to be here. Bruce is usually here and he's really mean and angry and JJ doesn't like him, he's scary and doesn't like JJ at all, he thinks he's evil and bad. JJ is bad, so he gets it. But because of that it means B always yells and leaves him trapped and alone.
Now he's here but he isn't alone, everything's locked up and Bruce said they're not allowed to leave. JJ recognizes the man in the room vaguely, he's Timmy's brother he thinks. JJ still wants to go home. He's sat by the big screen, fiddling with his boot laces and staring down at them, his knees up to his chest.
He's ignoring the man because he doesn't really know him at all and JJ isn't supposed to talk to anyone, because Bruce and Papa get upset. The screen is bright, so he stares downwards, trying to make himself smaller. He doesn't like how big he is. It's wrong. He doesn't like any of this. His face hurts from smiling and he tries to cover his face with his hands after a while, ducking his head between his knees.

The Joker is out again, just waltzed out of Arkham like it was a fucking vacation home and is back out in Gotham destroying the city, hurting people, killing people. People who's lives matter, who have families that will never see them again all becauseβ Batman won't do anything about it.
Jason would like to call him a murderer in his own way but that's a bit hypocritical considering the fact Jason is a murderer and it's his fault too. If he just killed the Joker when he had the chance, if he wasn't so desperate to be apart of the bats that he stopped killing, publicly at least.. the Joker wouldn't be out there.
The bats of course, of course, have him stuck here in the cave on 'comms duty' like Barbara or Oracle in this case isn't already as well as.. Tim. It's infuriating that they not only think he's not stable enough to even be near the Joker or out on the streets to try hurt people (but fine just living in the same city as his murderer who can walk out of Arkham and kill people again and again).
But also have him down here with Tim for some reason. Bruce didn't explain it because of course the man wouldn't but it's pretty clear to him. It's supervision, to make sure Jason doesn't just leave himself. Alfred is in the manor too so it's really just excessive at this point but whatever.
He's mostly just pacing behind the chair Tim is sitting in and looking at the computer. It was playing the comms before but Tim ended up turning it down to barely be audible for some reason. He hasn't tried to bring it back up even though he really wants to so he guesses he'll have to just attempt to listen.
Tim hasn't really moves otherwise, just curled up as small as possible in the chair. He isn't quite sure why honestly but the kid does have a habit of not getting enough sleep so maybe that? It doesn't make sense to him though because Tim doesn't seem like the type to just.. do nothing while he's not on the field. Then again maybe he doesn't know the kid enough to make assumptions.

JJ rocks back and forth a bit in his chair, tugging at his hair and trying to not make any noise.
Jason tenses at the all too familiar laugh, pausing in his pacing for a bit before continuing with a shaky breath out. He's been.. better with everything, with everything with the Joker. He still hates clowns, he hates his laugh, he still feels the pain of his broken skull and ribs and broken everything really. But.. it's less he supposes. Alarms and timers are probably the worst but he uses explosions so much he's mostly better with that.

He gasps a bit at the reaction, trying to comfort Tim. It's Jason's turn to wince and pause at Tim's voice or in this case him laughing. It's forced, not a sound of joy or even mania but almost painful sounding.

He cries out, hitting his own head with his fist repeatedly, the tears are falling and he's more so just sobbing, the laughter eventually teetering off at least. The laughing hurt almost, JJ hates it, he can't control himself and he's messed up and Papa won't be happy because he's not allowed to leave.

"No one's gonna hurt you, I promise. I'll.. protect you, OK?"
Jason comforts, moving closer slowly and taking Tim's hands away again, taking out a whip for the domino again and using it to take the domino off, letting go afterwards and keeping his palms out. He's way too big to fir under here, having to slouch a lot to try make himself smaller.
JJ just sobs, shaking his head repeatedly and trying to get himself to stop smiling but he can't, he rarely can. It's carved into his skin and he can feel it, the knife tearing at his face, the way Papa laughed when he did it. JJ grabs at his face, where the scars are, he pauses when Jason comes closer and takes off the mask.
He looks up at him with a smile that looks painful, watery eyes as he's shaking and trying not to be too much of a burden. JJ's eyes are looking around rapidly while he panics, wiping at the tears in his eyes.
"Bruce won't be...be happy. M'not supposed to be- to be here, supposed to be gone- to be gone, gone forever gone. Bad and gone."
JJ rambles, voice breaking. He ducks his head again, hands on either side of his head, his fist hitting against himself. He's still sobbing and he shakes his head, rocking back and forth.
He whines a little, like an injured animal and moves to grab onto Jason's arm, hiding his face against the man, like he's trying to hide from something and using Jason as a shield.
Jason grimaces a bit at the expression, just the pain and intensity behind it and.. hope almost. He doesn't even know what Tim means and it's just so confusing but he tries to take Tim's hands again.
Why would Bruce be upset that Tim is here? He knows Tim is here and Tim is pretty close to the bats and a valuable asset with all of his skills so why wouldn't Bruce want him or know he is here? Tim is too distressed right now to really give him a proper answer but still he tries to continue.
"Why wouldn't Bruce be happy?"
He asks softly, tilting his head a bit before widening his eyes when Tim seems to.. cling onto him. Definitely not something he expected but he moves to bring an arm around Tim's shoulders, holding him closer
"I won't tell him anything, I promise. But I need you to tell me why he'd be mad so I can help, OK?"
Jason reassures, pressing a bit more softly. He would never tell Bruce anything no matter the case but he just seems so.. scared.
JJ whimpers a little, heaving a bit and trying to gather his emotions enough to answer the question.
"M'not....I'm bad, not good like...like Timmy. Bad, bad kid. He'll...he'll lock me back up, he'll scream, he wants me...me gone...Not supposed to tell, not supposed to be here- shut up, shut up."
He rambles a bit incoherently, moving into a whisper at the end yet still speaking in a way that's more pitched and whiny than Tim's usual speaking voice. He whines a little, hiding his face against Jason and grabbing him a bit tighter, in a way that seems like he's desperately trying to hold onto him for support, like he could make the panic stop.
"Not supposed to be here....but- but Papa is, and Papa could come- come get me...Bruce will be angry. No. No. Bad Junior. Bad...deserve it."
JJ keeps speaking, shakily and panicked. He continues to sob but tries to stop the noises by put a hand over his mouth and biting on his tongue. JJ is being loud and he isn't meant to be here and he's doing everything wrong and he can't do anything right. He doesn't want to be hurt. He doesn't want Jason to leave him here.
Jason doesn't know what he means but he thinks he's getting a bigger picture and he doesn't like it.
"Tim.. if you aren't Tim thenβ who are you?"
He asks softly, moving them so they are in Jason's lap and moving a bit to come out from under the monitor since it's pretty uncomfortable and he barely fits.
He isn't sure if they mean Bruce or.. someone else. He doesn't know what would be better. Bruce can get pretty.. angry and loud and just awful he guesses. Butβ that's just with Jason, because he deserves it and anyways he hurts Bruce too. Tim hasn't done anything or whoever it is.
"You've done nothing wrong. I'll make sure he wont hurt you, OK?"
Jason shushes a bit, rubbing their back a bit. He doesn't know who Junior is either and there are just to many unknowns right now which honestly makes Jason question how much he doesn't know about the bats. He can't focus on that right now though..
JJ whimpers at the question, pausing for a long moment. It seems like he might just ignore the question entirely before he whispers, face fairly close to Jason with the way he's leaning against the man's shoulder.
"JJ...I'm JJ."
He speaks softly, whispering still and holding Jason's jacket a little, fiddling with the fabric and staring down at it as he sniffles and finally stops sobbing, just slowly calming a bit down and just shaking against Jason, twitching every so often and fighting that still stays on his face.
He looks towards Jason briefly at his words, before staring back down and taking a few deep breathes, they almost exaggerated with how slowly he's doing it.
"Promise? Do you...do you promise? Can't- can't tell Timmy, Timmy can't know either. Bad. JJ Bad...Timmy is good...good kid."
JJ mumbles the last things a bit, like he's speaking more to himself than Jason.
Jason frowns at the lack of an answer, thinking his assumption was wrong and he said something wrong. He blinks when he does get an answer though, swallowing a bit because that just confirms what he thought.
"OK, JJ. I'm Jason, you know that right?"
He hums, introducing himself since he hasn't exactly met them before, not officially at least. Jason honestly doesn't know how.. he didn't know, did the others know? Surely they did? But that means they.. all hid it from him. Bruce isn't shocking but everyone else? It.. hurts he supposes.
"I promise. I won't tell anyone."
Jason smiles, bringing a finger up to his lip to make the shushing sign. Clearly they seem more.. childish than Tim so he has to, well, treat them like a child. How did this even happen?
JJ nods in response, sniffling and rubbing at his face. He can feel the scars beneath his fingers, and it makes him pause before putting his hands back down and tugging a little at Jason's jacket for no discernible reason besides just having something to do with his hands, most likely.
"Yes. Jason...Timmy's big brother...older and um...um- the one with the red and the- the guns. Wasn't...allowed to talk about anything to you. Or- or the others. Only...only Bruce and and the one with orange hair, she was- she was there. But she hates me. Bad...bad kid. Bad kids don't get to be- be liked or around- around others."
JJ says, voice still shaky as he speaks softly. JJ shivers and ducks his head against Jason's shoulder again. He briefly looks back up at Jason when he speaks again and moves to take Jason's hand, only to link their pinkies together gently and shake there hands together like that.
"Promise...promise. Safe."
He says, not whispering as much as he has been. taking his hand away, only to rub his hands against his knees a little and take a few more breaths, ducking his face against Jason once more. Hiding almost.
All JJ knows is that Jason is promising he'll be okay and Jason is being nicer, and he promised and it was a pinkie promise too so that means everything will be okay and Jason meant it. He promised, so he has to mean it.
Jason tilts his head when JJ tugs on his jacket, thinking it's because he wants Jason's attention or something. That only confirms his fears, that Bruce knew about this and.. Babs? Why would she hide this? From all of them? Even Dick doesn't know? What was Babs there forβ
"Yeah.. I'm Jason. I like you, you seem really.. nice."
He says, glancing down at their fingers and recognising it at a pinkie promise, locking their fingers together himself and smiling softly.
"I'll keep you safe. I promise."
He nods, cradling JJ's head a bit closer to himself and carding his fingers through his hair, trying to comfort them in anyway.
This is wrong, everything about this is wrong. What happened that caused this? What was so bad that Babs is hiding it and didn't even tell anyone? He has too many questions and the only person who can give them to him, at least the only person he can ask is.. someone with the mind of a child, who is a child. Jason doesn't know what to do.
JJ shakes his head a bit at that, not believing that. Jason doesn't know everything and he would hate JJ if he did so JJ can't tell him anything, because Jason would probably break their promise if he knew everything.
"No. Bad...Bad. Bad kid."
JJ mumbles, taking another shaky breath and holding onto Jason a bit tighter, nervous and scared of being caught. He just can't lie, he can't lie and say he's good, because that's wrong and that's not what JJ is.
"O-Okay...thank you, Mister."
He whispers softly, not entirely sure what he's supposed to say to Timmy's big brother, but if he says that he'll be safe then JJ has to believe that for now. He just stays attached to him and finally calms enough that the tears aren't pooling as much and he can just slightly stay there, holding onto Jason, attempting to feel safe, to believe that he's safe and that everything will be okay.
It's a weird amount of circumstances, but JJ ends up back in that scary cave place. He doesn't like it, it's dark and there are animals in the ceiling that keep making noises and flying around when anyone moves. JJ doesn't really remember but it had something to do with Papa and he's wearing that suit that's really tight around his skin.
He wants to go home, to the place that Timmy owns. It's safer there, but people kept talking about Papa and JJ got nervous. He doesn't want to be here. Bruce is usually here and he's really mean and angry and JJ doesn't like him, he's scary and doesn't like JJ at all, he thinks he's evil and bad. JJ is bad, so he gets it. But because of that it means B always yells and leaves him trapped and alone.
Now he's here but he isn't alone, everything's locked up and Bruce said they're not allowed to leave. JJ recognizes the man in the room vaguely, he's Timmy's brother he thinks. JJ still wants to go home. He's sat by the big screen, fiddling with his boot laces and staring down at them, his knees up to his chest.
He's ignoring the man because he doesn't really know him at all and JJ isn't supposed to talk to anyone, because Bruce and Papa get upset. The screen is bright, so he stares downwards, trying to make himself smaller. He doesn't like how big he is. It's wrong. He doesn't like any of this. His face hurts from smiling and he tries to cover his face with his hands after a while, ducking his head between his knees.

The Joker is out again, just waltzed out of Arkham like it was a fucking vacation home and is back out in Gotham destroying the city, hurting people, killing people. People who's lives matter, who have families that will never see them again all becauseβ Batman won't do anything about it.
Jason would like to call him a murderer in his own way but that's a bit hypocritical considering the fact Jason is a murderer and it's his fault too. If he just killed the Joker when he had the chance, if he wasn't so desperate to be apart of the bats that he stopped killing, publicly at least.. the Joker wouldn't be out there.
The bats of course, of course, have him stuck here in the cave on 'comms duty' like Barbara or Oracle in this case isn't already as well as.. Tim. It's infuriating that they not only think he's not stable enough to even be near the Joker or out on the streets to try hurt people (but fine just living in the same city as his murderer who can walk out of Arkham and kill people again and again).
But also have him down here with Tim for some reason. Bruce didn't explain it because of course the man wouldn't but it's pretty clear to him. It's supervision, to make sure Jason doesn't just leave himself. Alfred is in the manor too so it's really just excessive at this point but whatever.
He's mostly just pacing behind the chair Tim is sitting in and looking at the computer. It was playing the comms before but Tim ended up turning it down to barely be audible for some reason. He hasn't tried to bring it back up even though he really wants to so he guesses he'll have to just attempt to listen.
Tim hasn't really moves otherwise, just curled up as small as possible in the chair. He isn't quite sure why honestly but the kid does have a habit of not getting enough sleep so maybe that? It doesn't make sense to him though because Tim doesn't seem like the type to just.. do nothing while he's not on the field. Then again maybe he doesn't know the kid enough to make assumptions.
JJ can hear talking, quietly coming from the big computer in front of him. He did something to turn it down, it was too loud and he didn't like that. Timmy's brother is walking behind him, he's not sure what to do, he doesn't want the man to realize JJ's here because he's not supposed to know.
Someone laughs over the comms, it sounds familiar, like Timmy's other brother maybe, but the laughing noise sounds too familiar, too much like Papa and Bruce was upset because Papa was running around again. The laughter makes JJ flinch, arms going up over his head to cover himself.
He bites his tongue harshly to get himself to not laugh too, instead a small wounded noise comes out, his gloved hands moving to grab at his hair. It's not green anymore and that feels wrong. His breathing is off, anxious and not wanting to be caught. He's not supposed to be here.
Bruce always gets angry when he is, or if anything about JJ and Papa are mentioned, he's supposed to be Timmy but he isn't, which means he's doing something wrong. JJ misses Mama, she was nicer and wouldn't get so angry with him, because she loved JJ, she said so herself. JJ rocks back and forth a bit in his chair, tugging at his hair and trying to not make any noise.
Jason tenses at the all too familiar laugh, pausing in his pacing for a bit before continuing with a shaky breath out. He's been.. better with everything, with everything with the Joker. He still hates clowns, he hates his laugh, he still feels the pain of his broken skull and ribs and broken everything really. But.. it's less he supposes. Alarms and timers are probably the worst but he uses explosions so much he's mostly better with that.
He notes the small whimpering sound, looking up to the screen before looking back at the back of the chair. It's not from the computer which means.. it's from Tim. That's weird. He walks a bit closer, looking down at him, his eyes widening.
He immediately moves to gently take Tim's hand, bringing it away from his hair. Something's wrong, something is really wrong. Jason doesn't like this at all but right now he has to focus on Tim.
"Hey, Tim. You OK? What happened?"
Jason asks softly, not sure what's happening right now or what caused this. He thinks it's something akin to a panic attack but he doesn't even know why.
JJ freezes when he's touched, wincing a little but not flinching enough to back away from the touch, he doesn't try and rip his hand away from the other, not wanting to do anything wrong. He takes a few shaky breathes, pausing at Jason's words. Right, that's his name, Jason. He's Timmy's big brother.
"Not supposed to- to-"
His voice cracks and he laughs, ducking his head and squeezing his eyes shut beneath his domino mask. He's gonna ruin everything, he takes one of his hands away just to bite down onto to it to make it so he stops. He can't do this right now, he can't laugh he can't be bad, he doesn't want Bruce to be mad, Bruce hated when he laughed but everything is so funny.
He makes a muffled sound, shaking and still rocking a little, trying to get the feeling to go away. There's still noise coming from the big computer and JJ hates the noise and the lights, and he doesn't want to be here, he wants to go home. But he can't.
He's trapped and it's like he's back home with Mama and Papa and he's being punished for everything again. He didn't mean to do anything wrong, but he's supposed to laugh at the pain and to hurt people and he can feel tears prickle in his eyes, whimpering.
He gasps a bit at the reaction, trying to comfort Tim. It's Jason's turn to wince and pause at Tim's voice or in this case him laughing. It's forced, not a sound of joy or even mania but almost painful sounding.
"No, no, don't do that. It's OK, it's OK. Let's.."
Jason says when he sees Tim bit down on his hand, moving to turn off the computer and move to crouch down in front of the other, scanning Tim a bit. Is it crazy to think that maybe the Joker somehow drugged Tim with some version of Joker Gas because he honestly can't think of another way to explain this.
He gently takes Tim's hand out of his mouth, holding both of them in one hand while the other moves to hold his shoulder, scanning him a few times. The domino is on right now so he can't see his eyes but if he had to guess he'd say he's crying.
"I'm gonna take the domino off, OK? No more monitor duty. O will deal with it."
Jason explains, going to get some adhesive wipes. He has to figure out why this is happening, maybe take some blood to take a test or something.
JJ shakes his head repeatedly, flinching back when Jason takes his hands away, hiding his face in his shoulder. He bites down on the inside of his mouth, just trying to get the laughter to stop, though it's only muffled it, the action clear in the way his shoulders are shaking. It's shaky and his mouth is upturned in a smile that looks too wide and painful.
"No! I'm- I'm sorry! Sorry!"
JJ shouts, his voice is higher in pitch than how he usually speaks, shaky and panicked as he ducks his head again, grabbing at his head and continuing to laugh hysterically. He can't get himself to stop and the tears are starting to fall and he's twitching a little. He doesn't want to be electrocuted, and he doesn't want Bruce to see him, to know he's being bad and laughing again.
Papa always liked it when he laughed because everything that made JJ feel bad was supposed to be fun and funny, but it just makes JJ scream and cry and want to hide away.
He doesn't understand what Jason means really, and once he's let go he moves from the chair and onto the floor, scrambling to hide beneath the desk at the big computer and curl up beneath there, hiding from everything and grabbing at his head again, the laughs becoming something akin to sobs.
Jason isn't sure what to do and he honestly thinks he made it worse. That smile is.. concerning but it isn't the same as it is when someone is under the effect of Joker Gas so he thinks that option is crossed out unless this is a weaker batch? He honestly has no clue.
He doesn't seem to have time to trying think about it before Tim shouts in an almost shrill voice which makes him wince a bit, letting go and staring at the other a little bit. He just keeps laughing and laughing and Jason thinks he's crying and he doesn't even know how this happened.
"Ohβ OK..."
Jason says in shock when Tim moves to crawl under the computer, sighing a bit. He moves to crouch down, keeping a good amount of space between them. His eyebrows are knit together tightly, his lips pressed other as he accesses the situation.
"You didn't do anything wrong... It's just me, remember? No one else is here right now. The bats and everyone else are out of the cave it's just us."
He explains, keeping his palms out and looking down at the other, reaching up to take his domino off before hesitating and deciding to keep it on at risk of just making Tim more panicked.
JJ shakes his head a bit, shaking and sniffling, trying to get the laughing to stop but he's just panicking and laughing and he can't make it stop. Jason speaks and he whimpers.
"Papa- Papa will- He'll come and he'll hurt me! I don't want that! I'm bad! Bad! Not funny-"
He cries out, hitting his own head with his fist repeatedly, the tears are falling and he's more so just sobbing, the laughter eventually teetering off at least. The laughing hurt almost, JJ hates it, he can't control himself and he's messed up and Papa won't be happy because he's not allowed to leave.
JJ grabs at his own face a little, there's that weird mask on his face and he wants it off, and he's hiccuping sobs, almost like a child, grabbing at it and just crying harder when he can't get it off, moving to hug himself and duck his head between his knees.
"Bad...bad- Did bad, did- did something bad, I'm bad, he'll hurt me- Please, don't want that- don't want it. No."
He whimpers, mumbling a little, muffled pleas as he shakes and grabs at his cape to pull it around himself like a blanket.
Jason tilts his head at that, not sure what Tim even means by that but it makes him feel even bad. Something is really wrong and fucked up about this, whatever it is and it's making Jason feel on edge and like he's seriously missing something important.
"You.. haven't done anything. And.. your dad isn't here, Tim."
Jason tries to tell him. From what he knows Jack Drake isn't even alive and wasn't physically abusive at the very least. There is something childish about how he's talking and acting in general.
He's never heard Tim call either of his parents something like that, just Father and Mother though he only hears Tim talk about his parents at all in public so maybe it's that.
"No one's gonna hurt you, I promise. I'll.. protect you, OK?"
Jason comforts, moving closer slowly and taking Tim's hands away again, taking out a whip for the domino again and using it to take the domino off, letting go afterwards and keeping his palms out. He's way too big to fir under here, having to slouch a lot to try make himself smaller.
JJ just sobs, shaking his head repeatedly and trying to get himself to stop smiling but he can't, he rarely can. It's carved into his skin and he can feel it, the knife tearing at his face, the way Papa laughed when he did it. JJ grabs at his face, where the scars are, he pauses when Jason comes closer and takes off the mask.

"Bruce won't be...be happy. M'not supposed to be- to be here, supposed to be gone- to be gone, gone forever gone. Bad and gone."
JJ rambles, voice breaking. He ducks his head again, hands on either side of his head, his fist hitting against himself. He's still sobbing and he shakes his head, rocking back and forth.
He whines a little, like an injured animal and moves to grab onto Jason's arm, hiding his face against the man, like he's trying to hide from something and using Jason as a shield.

He rambles a bit incoherently, moving into a whisper at the end yet still speaking in a way that's more pitched and whiny than Tim's usual speaking voice.

It's a weird amount of circumstances, but JJ ends up back in that scary cave place. He doesn't like it, it's dark and there are animals in the ceiling that keep making noises and flying around when anyone moves. JJ doesn't really remember but it had something to do with Papa and he's wearing that suit that's really tight around his skin.
He wants to go home, to the place that Timmy owns. It's safer there, but people kept talking about Papa and JJ got nervous. He doesn't want to be here. Bruce is usually here and he's really mean and angry and JJ doesn't like him, he's scary and doesn't like JJ at all, he thinks he's evil and bad. JJ is bad, so he gets it. But because of that it means B always yells and leaves him trapped and alone.
Now he's here but he isn't alone, everything's locked up and Bruce said they're not allowed to leave. JJ recognizes the man in the room vaguely, he's Timmy's brother he thinks. JJ still wants to go home. He's sat by the big screen, fiddling with his boot laces and staring down at them, his knees up to his chest.
He's ignoring the man because he doesn't really know him at all and JJ isn't supposed to talk to anyone, because Bruce and Papa get upset. The screen is bright, so he stares downwards, trying to make himself smaller. He doesn't like how big he is. It's wrong. He doesn't like any of this. His face hurts from smiling and he tries to cover his face with his hands after a while, ducking his head between his knees.

The Joker is out again, just waltzed out of Arkham like it was a fucking vacation home and is back out in Gotham destroying the city, hurting people, killing people. People who's lives matter, who have families that will never see them again all becauseβ Batman won't do anything about it.
Jason would like to call him a murderer in his own way but that's a bit hypocritical considering the fact Jason is a murderer and it's his fault too. If he just killed the Joker when he had the chance, if he wasn't so desperate to be apart of the bats that he stopped killing, publicly at least.. the Joker wouldn't be out there.
The bats of course, of course, have him stuck here in the cave on 'comms duty' like Barbara or Oracle in this case isn't already as well as.. Tim. It's infuriating that they not only think he's not stable enough to even be near the Joker or out on the streets to try hurt people (but fine just living in the same city as his murderer who can walk out of Arkham and kill people again and again).
But also have him down here with Tim for some reason. Bruce didn't explain it because of course the man wouldn't but it's pretty clear to him. It's supervision, to make sure Jason doesn't just leave himself. Alfred is in the manor too so it's really just excessive at this point but whatever.
He's mostly just pacing behind the chair Tim is sitting in and looking at the computer. It was playing the comms before but Tim ended up turning it down to barely be audible for some reason. He hasn't tried to bring it back up even though he really wants to so he guesses he'll have to just attempt to listen.
Tim hasn't really moves otherwise, just curled up as small as possible in the chair. He isn't quite sure why honestly but the kid does have a habit of not getting enough sleep so maybe that? It doesn't make sense to him though because Tim doesn't seem like the type to just.. do nothing while he's not on the field. Then again maybe he doesn't know the kid enough to make assumptions.
JJ can hear talking, quietly coming from the big computer in front of him. He did something to turn it down, it was too loud and he didn't like that. Timmy's brother is walking behind him, he's not sure what to do, he doesn't want the man to realize JJ's here because he's not supposed to know.
Someone laughs over the comms, it sounds familiar, like Timmy's other brother maybe, but the laughing noise sounds too familiar, too much like Papa and Bruce was upset because Papa was running around again. The laughter makes JJ flinch, arms going up over his head to cover himself.
He bites his tongue harshly to get himself to not laugh too, instead a small wounded noise comes out, his gloved hands moving to grab at his hair. It's not green anymore and that feels wrong. His breathing is off, anxious and not wanting to be caught. He's not supposed to be here.
Bruce always gets angry when he is, or if anything about JJ and Papa are mentioned, he's supposed to be Timmy but he isn't, which means he's doing something wrong. JJ misses Mama, she was nicer and wouldn't get so angry with him, because she loved JJ, she said so herself. JJ rocks back and forth a bit in his chair, tugging at his hair and trying to not make any noise.
Jason tenses at the all too familiar laugh, pausing in his pacing for a bit before continuing with a shaky breath out. He's been.. better with everything, with everything with the Joker. He still hates clowns, he hates his laugh, he still feels the pain of his broken skull and ribs and broken everything really. But.. it's less he supposes. Alarms and timers are probably the worst but he uses explosions so much he's mostly better with that.
He notes the small whimpering sound, looking up to the screen before looking back at the back of the chair. It's not from the computer which means.. it's from Tim. That's weird. He walks a bit closer, looking down at him, his eyes widening.
He immediately moves to gently take Tim's hand, bringing it away from his hair. Something's wrong, something is really wrong. Jason doesn't like this at all but right now he has to focus on Tim.
"Hey, Tim. You OK? What happened?"
Jason asks softly, not sure what's happening right now or what caused this. He thinks it's something akin to a panic attack but he doesn't even know why.
JJ freezes when he's touched, wincing a little but not flinching enough to back away from the touch, he doesn't try and rip his hand away from the other, not wanting to do anything wrong. He takes a few shaky breathes, pausing at Jason's words. Right, that's his name, Jason. He's Timmy's big brother.
"Not supposed to- to-"
His voice cracks and he laughs, ducking his head and squeezing his eyes shut beneath his domino mask. He's gonna ruin everything, he takes one of his hands away just to bite down onto to it to make it so he stops. He can't do this right now, he can't laugh he can't be bad, he doesn't want Bruce to be mad, Bruce hated when he laughed but everything is so funny.
He makes a muffled sound, shaking and still rocking a little, trying to get the feeling to go away. There's still noise coming from the big computer and JJ hates the noise and the lights, and he doesn't want to be here, he wants to go home. But he can't.
He's trapped and it's like he's back home with Mama and Papa and he's being punished for everything again. He didn't mean to do anything wrong, but he's supposed to laugh at the pain and to hurt people and he can feel tears prickle in his eyes, whimpering.
He gasps a bit at the reaction, trying to comfort Tim. It's Jason's turn to wince and pause at Tim's voice or in this case him laughing. It's forced, not a sound of joy or even mania but almost painful sounding.
"No, no, don't do that. It's OK, it's OK. Let's.."
Jason says when he sees Tim bit down on his hand, moving to turn off the computer and move to crouch down in front of the other, scanning Tim a bit. Is it crazy to think that maybe the Joker somehow drugged Tim with some version of Joker Gas because he honestly can't think of another way to explain this.
He gently takes Tim's hand out of his mouth, holding both of them in one hand while the other moves to hold his shoulder, scanning him a few times. The domino is on right now so he can't see his eyes but if he had to guess he'd say he's crying.
"I'm gonna take the domino off, OK? No more monitor duty. O will deal with it."
Jason explains, going to get some adhesive wipes. He has to figure out why this is happening, maybe take some blood to take a test or something.
JJ shakes his head repeatedly, flinching back when Jason takes his hands away, hiding his face in his shoulder. He bites down on the inside of his mouth, just trying to get the laughter to stop, though it's only muffled it, the action clear in the way his shoulders are shaking. It's shaky and his mouth is upturned in a smile that looks too wide and painful.
"No! I'm- I'm sorry! Sorry!"
JJ shouts, his voice is higher in pitch than how he usually speaks, shaky and panicked as he ducks his head again, grabbing at his head and continuing to laugh hysterically. He can't get himself to stop and the tears are starting to fall and he's twitching a little. He doesn't want to be electrocuted, and he doesn't want Bruce to see him, to know he's being bad and laughing again.
Papa always liked it when he laughed because everything that made JJ feel bad was supposed to be fun and funny, but it just makes JJ scream and cry and want to hide away.
He doesn't understand what Jason means really, and once he's let go he moves from the chair and onto the floor, scrambling to hide beneath the desk at the big computer and curl up beneath there, hiding from everything and grabbing at his head again, the laughs becoming something akin to sobs.
Jason isn't sure what to do and he honestly thinks he made it worse. That smile is.. concerning but it isn't the same as it is when someone is under the effect of Joker Gas so he thinks that option is crossed out unless this is a weaker batch? He honestly has no clue.
He doesn't seem to have time to trying think about it before Tim shouts in an almost shrill voice which makes him wince a bit, letting go and staring at the other a little bit. He just keeps laughing and laughing and Jason thinks he's crying and he doesn't even know how this happened.
"Ohβ OK..."
Jason says in shock when Tim moves to crawl under the computer, sighing a bit. He moves to crouch down, keeping a good amount of space between them. His eyebrows are knit together tightly, his lips pressed other as he accesses the situation.
"You didn't do anything wrong... It's just me, remember? No one else is here right now. The bats and everyone else are out of the cave it's just us."
He explains, keeping his palms out and looking down at the other, reaching up to take his domino off before hesitating and deciding to keep it on at risk of just making Tim more panicked.
JJ shakes his head a bit, shaking and sniffling, trying to get the laughing to stop but he's just panicking and laughing and he can't make it stop. Jason speaks and he whimpers.
"Papa- Papa will- He'll come and he'll hurt me! I don't want that! I'm bad! Bad! Not funny-"
He cries out, hitting his own head with his fist repeatedly, the tears are falling and he's more so just sobbing, the laughter eventually teetering off at least. The laughing hurt almost, JJ hates it, he can't control himself and he's messed up and Papa won't be happy because he's not allowed to leave.
JJ grabs at his own face a little, there's that weird mask on his face and he wants it off, and he's hiccuping sobs, almost like a child, grabbing at it and just crying harder when he can't get it off, moving to hug himself and duck his head between his knees.
"Bad...bad- Did bad, did- did something bad, I'm bad, he'll hurt me- Please, don't want that- don't want it. No."
He whimpers, mumbling a little, muffled pleas as he shakes and grabs at his cape to pull it around himself like a blanket.
Jason tilts his head at that, not sure what Tim even means by that but it makes him feel even bad. Something is really wrong and fucked up about this, whatever it is and it's making Jason feel on edge and like he's seriously missing something important.
"You.. haven't done anything. And.. your dad isn't here, Tim."
Jason tries to tell him. From what he knows Jack Drake isn't even alive and wasn't physically abusive at the very least. There is something childish about how he's talking and acting in general.
He's never heard Tim call either of his parents something like that, just Father and Mother though he only hears Tim talk about his parents at all in public so maybe it's that.
"No one's gonna hurt you, I promise. I'll.. protect you, OK?"
Jason comforts, moving closer slowly and taking Tim's hands away again, taking out a whip for the domino again and using it to take the domino off, letting go afterwards and keeping his palms out. He's way too big to fir under here, having to slouch a lot to try make himself smaller.
JJ just sobs, shaking his head repeatedly and trying to get himself to stop smiling but he can't, he rarely can. It's carved into his skin and he can feel it, the knife tearing at his face, the way Papa laughed when he did it. JJ grabs at his face, where the scars are, he pauses when Jason comes closer and takes off the mask.
He looks up at him with a smile that looks painful, watery eyes as he's shaking and trying not to be too much of a burden. JJ's eyes are looking around rapidly while he panics, wiping at the tears in his eyes.
"Bruce won't be...be happy. M'not supposed to be- to be here, supposed to be gone- to be gone, gone forever gone. Bad and gone."
JJ rambles, voice breaking. He ducks his head again, hands on either side of his head, his fist hitting against himself. He's still sobbing and he shakes his head, rocking back and forth.
He whines a little, like an injured animal and moves to grab onto Jason's arm, hiding his face against the man, like he's trying to hide from something and using Jason as a shield.
Jason grimaces a bit at the expression, just the pain and intensity behind it and.. hope almost. He doesn't even know what Tim means and it's just so confusing but he tries to take Tim's hands again.
Why would Bruce be upset that Tim is here? He knows Tim is here and Tim is pretty close to the bats and a valuable asset with all of his skills so why wouldn't Bruce want him or know he is here? Tim is too distressed right now to really give him a proper answer but still he tries to continue.
"Why wouldn't Bruce be happy?"
He asks softly, tilting his head a bit before widening his eyes when Tim seems to.. cling onto him. Definitely not something he expected but he moves to bring an arm around Tim's shoulders, holding him closer
"I won't tell him anything, I promise. But I need you to tell me why he'd be mad so I can help, OK?"
Jason reassures, pressing a bit more softly. He would never tell Bruce anything no matter the case but he just seems so.. scared.
JJ whimpers a little, heaving a bit and trying to gather his emotions enough to answer the question.
"M'not....I'm bad, not good like...like Timmy. Bad, bad kid. He'll...he'll lock me back up, he'll scream, he wants me...me gone...Not supposed to tell, not supposed to be here- shut up, shut up."
He rambles a bit incoherently, moving into a whisper at the end yet still speaking in a way that's more pitched and whiny than Tim's usual speaking voice. He whines a little, hiding his face against Jason and grabbing him a bit tighter, in a way that seems like he's desperately trying to hold onto him for support, like he could make the panic stop.
"Not supposed to be here....but- but Papa is, and Papa could come- come get me...Bruce will be angry. No. No. Bad Junior. Bad...deserve it."
JJ keeps speaking, shakily and panicked. He continues to sob but tries to stop the noises by put a hand over his mouth and biting on his tongue. JJ is being loud and he isn't meant to be here and he's doing everything wrong and he can't do anything right. He doesn't want to be hurt. He doesn't want Jason to leave him here.
Jason doesn't know what he means but he thinks he's getting a bigger picture and he doesn't like it.
"Tim.. if you aren't Tim thenβ who are you?"
He asks softly, moving them so they are in Jason's lap and moving a bit to come out from under the monitor since it's pretty uncomfortable and he barely fits.
He isn't sure if they mean Bruce or.. someone else. He doesn't know what would be better. Bruce can get pretty.. angry and loud and just awful he guesses. Butβ that's just with Jason, because he deserves it and anyways he hurts Bruce too. Tim hasn't done anything or whoever it is.
"You've done nothing wrong. I'll make sure he wont hurt you, OK?"
Jason shushes a bit, rubbing their back a bit. He doesn't know who Junior is either and there are just to many unknowns right now which honestly makes Jason question how much he doesn't know about the bats. He can't focus on that right now though..
JJ whimpers at the question, pausing for a long moment. It seems like he might just ignore the question entirely before he whispers, face fairly close to Jason with the way he's leaning against the man's shoulder.
"JJ...I'm JJ."
He speaks softly, whispering still and holding Jason's jacket a little, fiddling with the fabric and staring down at it as he sniffles and finally stops sobbing, just slowly calming a bit down and just shaking against Jason, twitching every so often and fighting that still stays on his face.
He looks towards Jason briefly at his words, before staring back down and taking a few deep breathes, they almost exaggerated with how slowly he's doing it.
"Promise? Do you...do you promise? Can't- can't tell Timmy, Timmy can't know either. Bad. JJ Bad...Timmy is good...good kid."
JJ mumbles the last things a bit, like he's speaking more to himself than Jason.
It's a weird amount of circumstances, but JJ ends up back in that scary cave place. He doesn't like it, it's dark and there are animals in the ceiling that keep making noises and flying around when anyone moves. JJ doesn't really remember but it had something to do with Papa and he's wearing that suit that's really tight around his skin.
He wants to go home, to the place that Timmy owns. It's safer there, but people kept talking about Papa and JJ got nervous. He doesn't want to be here. Bruce is usually here and he's really mean and angry and JJ doesn't like him, he's scary and doesn't like JJ at all, he thinks he's evil and bad. JJ is bad, so he gets it. But because of that it means B always yells and leaves him trapped and alone.
Now he's here but he isn't alone, everything's locked up and Bruce said they're not allowed to leave. JJ recognizes the man in the room vaguely, he's Timmy's brother he thinks. JJ still wants to go home. He's sat by the big screen, fiddling with his boot laces and staring down at them, his knees up to his chest.
He's ignoring the man because he doesn't really know him at all and JJ isn't supposed to talk to anyone, because Bruce and Papa get upset. The screen is bright, so he stares downwards, trying to make himself smaller. He doesn't like how big he is. It's wrong. He doesn't like any of this. His face hurts from smiling and he tries to cover his face with his hands after a while, ducking his head between his knees.

The Joker is out again, just waltzed out of Arkham like it was a fucking vacation home and is back out in Gotham destroying the city, hurting people, killing people. People who's lives matter, who have families that will never see them again all becauseβ Batman won't do anything about it.
Jason would like to call him a murderer in his own way but that's a bit hypocritical considering the fact Jason is a murderer and it's his fault too. If he just killed the Joker when he had the chance, if he wasn't so desperate to be apart of the bats that he stopped killing, publicly at least.. the Joker wouldn't be out there.
The bats of course, of course, have him stuck here in the cave on 'comms duty' like Barbara or Oracle in this case isn't already as well as.. Tim. It's infuriating that they not only think he's not stable enough to even be near the Joker or out on the streets to try hurt people (but fine just living in the same city as his murderer who can walk out of Arkham and kill people again and again).
But also have him down here with Tim for some reason. Bruce didn't explain it because of course the man wouldn't but it's pretty clear to him. It's supervision, to make sure Jason doesn't just leave himself. Alfred is in the manor too so it's really just excessive at this point but whatever.
He's mostly just pacing behind the chair Tim is sitting in and looking at the computer. It was playing the comms before but Tim ended up turning it down to barely be audible for some reason. He hasn't tried to bring it back up even though he really wants to so he guesses he'll have to just attempt to listen.
Tim hasn't really moves otherwise, just curled up as small as possible in the chair. He isn't quite sure why honestly but the kid does have a habit of not getting enough sleep so maybe that? It doesn't make sense to him though because Tim doesn't seem like the type to just.. do nothing while he's not on the field. Then again maybe he doesn't know the kid enough to make assumptions.
JJ can hear talking, quietly coming from the big computer in front of him. He did something to turn it down, it was too loud and he didn't like that. Timmy's brother is walking behind him, he's not sure what to do, he doesn't want the man to realize JJ's here because he's not supposed to know.

The screen is bright, so he stares downwards, trying to make himself smaller. He doesn't like how big he is. It's wrong. He doesn't like any of this. His face hurts from smiling and he tries to cover his face with his hands after a while, ducking his head between his knees.

The Joker is out again, just waltzed out of Arkham like it was a fucking vacation home and is back out in Gotham destroying the city, hurting people, killing people. People who's lives matter, who have families that will never see them again all becauseβ Batman won't do anything about it.
Jason would like to call him a murderer in his own way but that's a bit hypocritical considering the fact Jason is a murderer and it's his fault too. If he just killed the Joker when he had the chance, if he wasn't so desperate to be apart of the bats that he stopped killing, publicly at least.. the Joker wouldn't be out there.
The bats of course, of course, have him stuck here in the cave on 'comms duty' like Barbara or Oracle in this case isn't already as well as.. Tim. It's infuriating that they not only think he's not stable enough to even be near the Joker or out on the streets to try hurt people (but fine just living in the same city as his murderer who can walk out of Arkham and kill people again and again).
But also have him down here with Tim for some reason. Bruce didn't explain it because of course the man wouldn't but it's pretty clear to him. It's supervision, to make sure Jason doesn't just leave himself. Alfred is in the manor too so it's really just excessive at this point but whatever.
He's mostly just pacing behind the chair Tim is sitting in and looking at the computer. It was playing the comms before but Tim ended up turning it down to barely be audible for some reason. He hasn't tried to bring it back up even though he really wants to so he guesses he'll have to just attempt to listen.
Tim hasn't really moves otherwise, just curled up as small as possible in the chair. He isn't quite sure why honestly but the kid does have a habit of not getting enough sleep so maybe that? It doesn't make sense to him though because Tim doesn't seem like the type to just.. do nothing while he's not on the field. Then again maybe he doesn't know the kid enough to make assumptions.
JJ can hear talking, quietly coming from the big computer in front of him. He did something to turn it down, it was too loud and he didn't like that. Timmy's brother is walking behind him, he's not sure what to do, he doesn't want the man to realize JJ's here because he's not supposed to know.
Someone laughs over the comms, it sounds familiar, like Timmy's other brother maybe, but the laughing noise sounds too familiar, too much like Papa and Bruce was upset because Papa was running around again. The laughter makes JJ flinch, arms going up over his head to cover himself.
He bites his tongue harshly to get himself to not laugh too, instead a small wounded noise comes out, his gloved hands moving to grab at his hair. It's not green anymore and that feels wrong. His breathing is off, anxious and not wanting to be caught. He's not supposed to be here.
Bruce always gets angry when he is, or if anything about JJ and Papa are mentioned, he's supposed to be Timmy but he isn't, which means he's doing something wrong. JJ misses Mama, she was nicer and wouldn't get so angry with him, because she loved JJ, she said so herself. JJ rocks back and forth a bit in his chair, tugging at his hair and trying to not make any noise.
Jason tenses at the all too familiar laugh, pausing in his pacing for a bit before continuing with a shaky breath out. He's been.. better with everything, with everything with the Joker. He still hates clowns, he hates his laugh, he still feels the pain of his broken skull and ribs and broken everything really. But.. it's less he supposes. Alarms and timers are probably the worst but he uses explosions so much he's mostly better with that.
He notes the small whimpering sound, looking up to the screen before looking back at the back of the chair. It's not from the computer which means.. it's from Tim. That's weird. He walks a bit closer, looking down at him, his eyes widening.
He immediately moves to gently take Tim's hand, bringing it away from his hair. Something's wrong, something is really wrong. Jason doesn't like this at all but right now he has to focus on Tim.
"Hey, Tim. You OK? What happened?"
Jason asks softly, not sure what's happening right now or what caused this. He thinks it's something akin to a panic attack but he doesn't even know why.
JJ freezes when he's touched, wincing a little but not flinching enough to back away from the touch, he doesn't try and rip his hand away from the other, not wanting to do anything wrong. He takes a few shaky breathes, pausing at Jason's words. Right, that's his name, Jason. He's Timmy's big brother.
"Not supposed to- to-"
His voice cracks and he laughs, ducking his head and squeezing his eyes shut beneath his domino mask. He's gonna ruin everything, he takes one of his hands away just to bite down onto to it to make it so he stops. He can't do this right now, he can't laugh he can't be bad, he doesn't want Bruce to be mad, Bruce hated when he laughed but everything is so funny.
He makes a muffled sound, shaking and still rocking a little, trying to get the feeling to go away. There's still noise coming from the big computer and JJ hates the noise and the lights, and he doesn't want to be here, he wants to go home. But he can't.
He's trapped and it's like he's back home with Mama and Papa and he's being punished for everything again. He didn't mean to do anything wrong, but he's supposed to laugh at the pain and to hurt people and he can feel tears prickle in his eyes, whimpering.
He gasps a bit at the reaction, trying to comfort Tim. It's Jason's turn to wince and pause at Tim's voice or in this case him laughing. It's forced, not a sound of joy or even mania but almost painful sounding.
"No, no, don't do that. It's OK, it's OK. Let's.."
Jason says when he sees Tim bit down on his hand, moving to turn off the computer and move to crouch down in front of the other, scanning Tim a bit. Is it crazy to think that maybe the Joker somehow drugged Tim with some version of Joker Gas because he honestly can't think of another way to explain this.
He gently takes Tim's hand out of his mouth, holding both of them in one hand while the other moves to hold his shoulder, scanning him a few times. The domino is on right now so he can't see his eyes but if he had to guess he'd say he's crying.
"I'm gonna take the domino off, OK? No more monitor duty. O will deal with it."
Jason explains, going to get some adhesive wipes. He has to figure out why this is happening, maybe take some blood to take a test or something.
JJ shakes his head repeatedly, flinching back when Jason takes his hands away, hiding his face in his shoulder. He bites down on the inside of his mouth, just trying to get the laughter to stop, though it's only muffled it, the action clear in the way his shoulders are shaking. It's shaky and his mouth is upturned in a smile that looks too wide and painful.
"No! I'm- I'm sorry! Sorry!"
JJ shouts, his voice is higher in pitch than how he usually speaks, shaky and panicked as he ducks his head again, grabbing at his head and continuing to laugh hysterically. He can't get himself to stop and the tears are starting to fall and he's twitching a little. He doesn't want to be electrocuted, and he doesn't want Bruce to see him, to know he's being bad and laughing again.
Papa always liked it when he laughed because everything that made JJ feel bad was supposed to be fun and funny, but it just makes JJ scream and cry and want to hide away.
He doesn't understand what Jason means really, and once he's let go he moves from the chair and onto the floor, scrambling to hide beneath the desk at the big computer and curl up beneath there, hiding from everything and grabbing at his head again, the laughs becoming something akin to sobs.
Jason isn't sure what to do and he honestly thinks he made it worse. That smile is.. concerning but it isn't the same as it is when someone is under the effect of Joker Gas so he thinks that option is crossed out unless this is a weaker batch? He honestly has no clue.
He doesn't seem to have time to trying think about it before Tim shouts in an almost shrill voice which makes him wince a bit, letting go and staring at the other a little bit. He just keeps laughing and laughing and Jason thinks he's crying and he doesn't even know how this happened.
"Ohβ OK..."
Jason says in shock when Tim moves to crawl under the computer, sighing a bit. He moves to crouch down, keeping a good amount of space between them. His eyebrows are knit together tightly, his lips pressed other as he accesses the situation.
"You didn't do anything wrong... It's just me, remember? No one else is here right now. The bats and everyone else are out of the cave it's just us."
He explains, keeping his palms out and looking down at the other, reaching up to take his domino off before hesitating and deciding to keep it on at risk of just making Tim more panicked.
JJ shakes his head a bit, shaking and sniffling, trying to get the laughing to stop but he's just panicking and laughing and he can't make it stop. Jason speaks and he whimpers.
"Papa- Papa will- He'll come and he'll hurt me! I don't want that! I'm bad! Bad! Not funny-"
He cries out, hitting his own head with his fist repeatedly, the tears are falling and he's more so just sobbing, the laughter eventually teetering off at least. The laughing hurt almost, JJ hates it, he can't control himself and he's messed up and Papa won't be happy because he's not allowed to leave.
JJ grabs at his own face a little, there's that weird mask on his face and he wants it off, and he's hiccuping sobs, almost like a child, grabbing at it and just crying harder when he can't get it off, moving to hug himself and duck his head between his knees.
"Bad...bad- Did bad, did- did something bad, I'm bad, he'll hurt me- Please, don't want that- don't want it. No."
He whimpers, mumbling a little, muffled pleas as he shakes and grabs at his cape to pull it around himself like a blanket.
Jason tilts his head at that, not sure what Tim even means by that but it makes him feel even bad. Something is really wrong and fucked up about this, whatever it is and it's making Jason feel on edge and like he's seriously missing something important.
"You.. haven't done anything. And.. your dad isn't here, Tim."
Jason tries to tell him. From what he knows Jack Drake isn't even alive and wasn't physically abusive at the very least. There is something childish about how he's talking and acting in general.
He's never heard Tim call either of his parents something like that, just Father and Mother though he only hears Tim talk about his parents at all in public so maybe it's that.
"No one's gonna hurt you, I promise. I'll.. protect you, OK?"
Jason comforts, moving closer slowly and taking Tim's hands away again, taking out a whip for the domino again and using it to take the domino off, letting go afterwards and keeping his palms out. He's way too big to fir under here, having to slouch a lot to try make himself smaller.
JJ just sobs, shaking his head repeatedly and trying to get himself to stop smiling but he can't, he rarely can. It's carved into his skin and he can feel it, the knife tearing at his face, the way Papa laughed when he did it. JJ grabs at his face, where the scars are, he pauses when Jason comes closer and takes off the mask.
He looks up at him with a smile that looks painful, watery eyes as he's shaking and trying not to be too much of a burden. JJ's eyes are looking around rapidly while he panics, wiping at the tears in his eyes.
"Bruce won't be...be happy. M'not supposed to be- to be here, supposed to be gone- to be gone, gone forever gone. Bad and gone."
JJ rambles, voice breaking. He ducks his head again, hands on either side of his head, his fist hitting against himself. He's still sobbing and he shakes his head, rocking back and forth.
He whines a little, like an injured animal and moves to grab onto Jason's arm, hiding his face against the man, like he's trying to hide from something and using Jason as a shield.
It's a weird amount of circumstances, but JJ ends up back in that scary cave place. He doesn't like it, it's dark and there are animals in the ceiling that keep making noises and flying around when anyone moves. JJ doesn't really remember but it had something to do with Papa and he's wearing that suit that's really tight around his skin.
He wants to go home, to the place that Timmy owns. It's safer there, but people kept talking about Papa and JJ got nervous. He doesn't want to be here. Bruce is usually here and he's really mean and angry and JJ doesn't like him, he's scary and doesn't like JJ at all, he thinks he's evil and bad. JJ is bad, so he gets it. But because of that it means B always yells and leaves him trapped and alone.
Now he's here but he isn't alone, everything's locked up and Bruce said they're not allowed to leave. JJ recognizes the man in the room vaguely, he's Timmy's brother he thinks. JJ still wants to go home. He's sat by the big screen, fiddling with his boot laces and staring down at them, his knees up to his chest.
He's ignoring the man because he doesn't really know him at all and JJ isn't supposed to talk to anyone, because Bruce and Papa get upset. The screen is bright, so he stares downwards, trying to make himself smaller. He doesn't like how big he is. It's wrong. He doesn't like any of this.

"I'm gonna take the domino off, OK? No more monitor duty. O will deal with it."
Jason explains, going to get some adhesive wipes. He has to figure out why this is happening, maybe take some blood to take a test or something.
JJ shakes his head repeatedly, flinching back when Jason takes his hands away, hiding his face in his shoulder. He bites down on the inside of his mouth, just trying to get the laughter to stop, though it's only muffled it, the action clear in the way his shoulders are shaking. It's shaky and his mouth is upturned in a smile that looks too wide and painful.
"No! I'm- I'm sorry! Sorry!"
JJ shouts, his voice is higher in pitch than how he usually speaks, shaky and panicked as he ducks his head again, grabbing at his head and continuing to laugh hysterically. He can't get himself to stop and the tears are starting to fall and he's twitching a little. He doesn't want to be electrocuted, and he doesn't want Bruce to see him, to know he's being bad and laughing again.
Papa always liked it when he laughed because everything that made JJ feel bad was supposed to be fun and funny, but it just makes JJ scream and cry and want to hide away.
He doesn't understand what Jason means really, and once he's let go he moves from the chair and onto the floor, scrambling to hide beneath the desk at the big computer and curl up beneath there, hiding from everything and grabbing at his head again, the laughs becoming something akin to sobs.
It's a weird amount of circumstances, but JJ ends up back in that scary cave place. He doesn't like it, it's dark and there are animals in the ceiling that keep making noises and flying around when anyone moves. JJ doesn't really remember but it had something to do with Papa and he's wearing that suit that's really tight around his skin.
He wants to go home, to the place that Timmy owns. It's safer there, but people kept talking about Papa and JJ got nervous. He doesn't want to be here. Bruce is usually here and he's really mean and angry and JJ doesn't like him, he's scary and doesn't like JJ at all, he thinks he's evil and bad. JJ is bad, so he gets it. But because of that it means B always yells and leaves him trapped and alone.
Now he's here but he isn't alone, everything's locked up and Bruce said they're not allowed to leave. JJ recognizes the man in the room vaguely, he's Timmy's brother he thinks. JJ still wants to go home. He's sat by the big screen, fiddling with his boot laces and staring down at them, his knees up to his chest.
He's ignoring the man because he doesn't really know him at all and JJ isn't supposed to talk to anyone, because Bruce and Papa get upset. The screen is bright, so he stares downwards, trying to make himself smaller. He doesn't like how big he is. It's wrong. He doesn't like any of this. His face hurts from smiling and he tries to cover his face with his hands after a while, ducking his head between his knees.

The Joker is out again, just waltzed out of Arkham like it was a fucking vacation home and is back out in Gotham destroying the city, hurting people, killing people. People who's lives matter, who have families that will never see them again all becauseβ Batman won't do anything about it.
Jason would like to call him a murderer in his own way but that's a bit hypocritical considering the fact Jason is a murderer and it's his fault too. If he just killed the Joker when he had the chance, if he wasn't so desperate to be apart of the bats that he stopped killing, publicly at least.. the Joker wouldn't be out there.
The bats of course, of course, have him stuck here in the cave on 'comms duty' like Barbara or Oracle in this case isn't already as well as.. Tim. It's infuriating that they not only think he's not stable enough to even be near the Joker or out on the streets to try hurt people (but fine just living in the same city as his murderer who can walk out of Arkham and kill people again and again).
But also have him down here with Tim for some reason. Bruce didn't explain it because of course the man wouldn't but it's pretty clear to him. It's supervision, to make sure Jason doesn't just leave himself. Alfred is in the manor too so it's really just excessive at this point but whatever.
He's mostly just pacing behind the chair Tim is sitting in and looking at the computer. It was playing the comms before but Tim ended up turning it down to barely be audible for some reason. He hasn't tried to bring it back up even though he really wants to so he guesses he'll have to just attempt to listen.
Tim hasn't really moves otherwise, just curled up as small as possible in the chair. He isn't quite sure why honestly but the kid does have a habit of not getting enough sleep so maybe that? It doesn't make sense to him though because Tim doesn't seem like the type to just.. do nothing while he's not on the field. Then again maybe he doesn't know the kid enough to make assumptions.
JJ can hear talking, quietly coming from the big computer in front of him. He did something to turn it down, it was too loud and he didn't like that. Timmy's brother is walking behind him, he's not sure what to do, he doesn't want the man to realize JJ's here because he's not supposed to know.
Someone laughs over the comms, it sounds familiar, like Timmy's other brother maybe, but the laughing noise sounds too familiar, too much like Papa and Bruce was upset because Papa was running around again. The laughter makes JJ flinch, arms going up over his head to cover himself.
He bites his tongue harshly to get himself to not laugh too, instead a small wounded noise comes out, his gloved hands moving to grab at his hair. It's not green anymore and that feels wrong. His breathing is off, anxious and not wanting to be caught. He's not supposed to be here.
Bruce always gets angry when he is, or if anything about JJ and Papa are mentioned, he's supposed to be Timmy but he isn't, which means he's doing something wrong. JJ misses Mama, she was nicer and wouldn't get so angry with him, because she loved JJ, she said so herself. JJ rocks back and forth a bit in his chair, tugging at his hair and trying to not make any noise.
Jason tenses at the all too familiar laugh, pausing in his pacing for a bit before continuing with a shaky breath out. He's been.. better with everything, with everything with the Joker. He still hates clowns, he hates his laugh, he still feels the pain of his broken skull and ribs and broken everything really. But.. it's less he supposes. Alarms and timers are probably the worst but he uses explosions so much he's mostly better with that.
He notes the small whimpering sound, looking up to the screen before looking back at the back of the chair. It's not from the computer which means.. it's from Tim. That's weird. He walks a bit closer, looking down at him, his eyes widening.
He immediately moves to gently take Tim's hand, bringing it away from his hair. Something's wrong, something is really wrong. Jason doesn't like this at all but right now he has to focus on Tim.
"Hey, Tim. You OK? What happened?"
Jason asks softly, not sure what's happening right now or what caused this. He thinks it's something akin to a panic attack but he doesn't even know why.
JJ freezes when he's touched, wincing a little but not flinching enough to back away from the touch, he doesn't try and rip his hand away from the other, not wanting to do anything wrong. He takes a few shaky breathes, pausing at Jason's words. Right, that's his name, Jason. He's Timmy's big brother.
"Not supposed to- to-"
His voice cracks and he laughs, ducking his head and squeezing his eyes shut beneath his domino mask. He's gonna ruin everything, he takes one of his hands away just to bite down onto to it to make it so he stops. He can't do this right now, he can't laugh he can't be bad, he doesn't want Bruce to be mad, Bruce hated when he laughed but everything is so funny.
He makes a muffled sound, shaking and still rocking a little, trying to get the feeling to go away. There's still noise coming from the big computer and JJ hates the noise and the lights, and he doesn't want to be here, he wants to go home. But he can't.
He's trapped and it's like he's back home with Mama and Papa and he's being punished for everything again. He didn't mean to do anything wrong, but he's supposed to laugh at the pain and to hurt people and he can feel tears prickle in his eyes, whimpering.
