Dick: I’m not mad
Bruce: you punched a hole through the concrete support beam Dick I think your ly-
Dick: SHUT UP FOR ONE SECOND
Bruce:
Dick: I’m not mad
Dick: but can you explain to me, your son -if that MEANS anything anymore- why the fuck
Dick: you thought it was okay to SHOOT MY BROTHER IN THE FACE
Bruce: it was necessary to discover his id-
Dick: STOP TALKING.
Bruce: you asked me to explai-
Dick: THATS BEFORE I REALIZED YOU WERE BEING FUCKING STUPID
Dick pinching the bridge of his nose: okay let me phrase it this way. Let’s say it wasn’t Jason behind the mask
Bruce: it was tho
Dick: let’s imagine an alternate reality where Jason doesn’t raise my blood pressure
Dick: and let’s say you shot this secret third person in the face, and it went through the helmet
Dick: and you ended up killing them
Bruce: I wouldn’t have I analyzed the makeup of the mask and extrapolated the amount of force required to shatter it vs go clean through it
Dick: yeah except that wasn’t your gun
Bruce: I knew the make
Dick: and I can count 60 rogues, mercs and assassins who match jays build and customize their weaponry in ways we can’t notice until they fire
Bruce: … I don’t see the issue here
Dick: you don’t see the issue in shooting my brother in the face with a fucking gun? To protect I don’t even know who?
Bruce: …
Dick: …… Bruce
Bruce: yes dick
Dick: don’t lowercase my name asshole, but you… wouldn’t right?
Bruce: wouldn’t what
Dick: no?… no that’s crazy? I’m being crazy (crazy I was crazy once) you wouldn’t help the joker in our damn cave. You wouldn’t BRING THE JOKER to our damn cave and get pissy that Jason was angry about that
Bruce:…
Dick: you’re the world’s greatest detective you couldn’t figure out somewhere else to take care of the PSYCHO?? Or better yet??? LET THE BASTARD DIE
Bruce: my job is to save people
Dick: unless it’s Jason apparently. No it’s fine if HE gets blown up.
Dick: also SINCE WHEN IS JOKER PEOPLE??? JASON IS BARELY A PERSON IN YOUR EYES?
Bruce: Nightwing you’re being emotional-
Dick: don’t try to switch personas with me asshole this is Bruce and Dick fighting over the fact that you seriously need to stop doing this shit to Jason before you drive him off a ledge
Bruce: Jason is fine
Dick: dude.. fine i defended you when you slit his throat bc my city was a pile of radioactive waste. Sure okay? Penguin dead? And you beating him into the ground I minded my damn business
Dick: the FUCKINF demon bat possession or whatever the fuck happened during Gotham war Tim pulled me off your ass and made sure I didn’t add your death to my conscience
Dick: don’t even play that THIS WAS A REASONABLE AND NORMAL PERSON THING BRUCE
