“Alrighty next clip is a sibling universe of this universe so again most things are the same as yours with some slight differences.”
Damian’s eyes narrowed as he tried to spy on her phone with Jon in between them, “What kind of differences.”
“Well in this universe Jason and Bruce manage to talk some things out. A more glaring difference is that this Jason is a scientist.”
“Woah, really Jason?”
The man in question smacked the archers shoulder playfully, “Hey what that’s supposed to mean! I’m smart!”
“Yup Jason in this universe practically lives in space!”
The video started to play, “Oh also in this universe Konner doesn’t exist.”
“Wait what!” Tim was horrified, Konner nodded it made sense they couldn’t all exist every time… especially when they weren’t even born in the first place.
The scene opened on Jason and Tim in Jasons apartment kitchen. It was kinda creepy how the apartment looked exactly the same, until they kept walking. Leading them both into a room that looked like Roy’s workshop, me mechanical garbage thrown everywhere.
“I am wiped out guess I’ll turn in.”
Cass raised an eyebrow, usually they had to fight for Tim to sleep.
“Cool.”
Jason looked at the screen, huh looks like him and replacement had a good relationship here. He felt bitter about it, not that he deserved a good relationship with the replacement.
“Jay, I feel like I’ve spent my whole life pretending Bruce is a great guy and trying to be like him and the ugly truth has always been-“
Tim didn’t like were this was going, but at least him and Jason were close. Close enough for Tim to tell him things like this, real brothers.
“That he’s not that great a guy and you are exactly like him?”
“Am I evil?”
Bruce felt like his nerves were on fire, he knew he wasn’t a good man but Tim?
Damian scoffed, “As if you have the capacity to ever be Batman.”
“Actually Tim is the most like me.”
The room grew silent, as Tim hunched his shoulders. He never wanted to be Batman in the first place.
“Worse you’re smart. When you know nothing matters the universe is yours and I have never met a universe that was into it.
It was Hals turn to raise an eyebrow, “That kinda sounds like he drops into different dimensions a lot.”
Chimera smiled, “Oo! Got it in one! And people saw your the dumb one.”
The universe is basically an animal that grazes on the ordinary creates infinite idiots just to eat them not unlike your husband Brecard -“
“Bernard”
“Yeah hardly matters now sweetie.”
“I MARRIED Bernard !!!”
Konner could admit to being a little itty bit jealous.
“Jay I’m out of excuses to not be who I am … so who am I ? What do I do?”
“You’re asking Jason for advice?- ow”
“I’m asking Jason for advice? I guess we’re close …” it felt nice to know there was one world out there where his Robin liked him.
“My advice? Take off, leave Gotham before it eats you.”
“Jason!”
“What Dick! It’s not like any of you would even notice if he left and it’s obvious that this Tim isn’t happy to be there.”
“I can’t do that! The titans, Dick, my job and as much as I hate to admit it ABCs the Bachelor- “
Dick couldn’t help but feel vindicated, of course Tim wouldn’t leave. “I Knew it I knew you liked the Bachelor! We should have a movie night Tim-“
“Oh maybe Dick, I’m pretty busy.”
“Oh okay no worries Timmy.”
“I can make a clone of you.
Konner couldn’t breath.
A perfect instance of you with all of your memories an exact copy in every way. It will love and provide for the family, do your job and consume broadcast network reality tv on the same alleged ironic level you do. You could be gone a day, a week of the rest of your life with zero consequences. The moment you decide to come back I flip a switch and the clones job is done. It feels no pain, it regrets nothing, it has zero chance of going BladeRunner.”
“Konner-“
“I’m fine.” And he was he didn’t need Superman’s pity, he didn’t want it. He didn’t get to do that, he had made his choice.
“If nothing matters, why would you do that for me?”
Jason rede used to ever admit it but he actually did like replac- Tim. He liked Tim, but after everything Jason didn’t have any room left to stand on with the kid. And he had done it to himself.
“I dunno maybe you matter so little that I like you. Or maybe it makes you matter. Maybe I love you. Maybe something about the Pits. Don’t jump a gift shark in the mouth.”
Bruce took note of Pits being mentioned, at the very least maybe these videos could help him figure something’s out. They might even give him information on how to help Jason.
“I don’t know if I can do it.”
Divk smiled of course not, this was Tim. His little brother wouldn’t just leave. Not like that, he couldn’t lose a brother like that. Even if Tim was cloned he’d notice! He’s know Tim since he was eight!
“Then stay and luxuriate in a life that you can finally know you’ve chosen.
Damian scoffed, ‘chosen’ of course Drake was the only one to get a choice. Everyone else had been dragged into the Batfamily, but Drake? Drake just waltzed in like it was nothing.
My secret bonus is no matter what you choose you’re finally gonna chill the fuck out.”
Jason laughed, “Yeah Timborine fucking chill out with your identity crisis and pick a lane.”
“Okay I know what I wanna do.”
“Tim…?” Stephanie would like to believe that Tim wouldn’t but… after everything Tim had changed.
Tim folded into Konner.
