you know it’s always going to be funny that Duke seems to have unneeded beef with Jason, but if you think about it, it does kinda make sense. Jason’s legally dead and pays his way through life via the income of a crime lord. I’m pretty sure he’s the only batfamily member to not have a day life at all. Tim Dick and Bruce work, Damian has school, Steph has college, Cass is just sensible enough to have A Life outside of being a bat. Jason on the other hand literally has fuck all to do when he isn’t out as Red Hood.
what I’m saying is that there’s no way he doesn’t get bored during the day and decide to piss Signal the fuck off like, three times a week. Duke’s beef with Jason isn’t unwarranted, it’s just that nobody’s around to witness the countless times that he’s been minding his own business trying to help out Gotham as Signal, only for this fucking skunk-headed legally dead mother fucker, to pop up FOR THE FOURTH TIME THAT DAY, just to make his life harder.
Jason: Signal
Signal: *ignoring him*
Jason: yo Signal
Jason: Siggy boy
Jason: my guy Sigs
Jason: brother-beloved
Jason: Signal
Jason: ok i WILL set another fire-
Signal: JESUS FUCKING CHRIST W H A T
Jason: i dropped my keys under my car and my phones dead so i don’t have a torch. can you start glowing so i can see where they are?
-
Signal: finally, some peace and quiet as i begin this incredibly important stake out that will take at least four hours-
Jason, climbing over the lip of the building: thought you fuckin’ lost me, didn’t you? well i got news for you, i have a whole pizza and nowhere to be until 1AM so we are going to HANG OUT-
Signal: JASON P L E A S E
-
Signal: *hears screams and the sound of gunshots*
Signal: *rushes to help*
Jason, standing in an alleyway with a speaker playing noises from a fight he was at two weeks ago: THERE you are,
Signal: oh my GOD-
Jason: look at this sick drawing i did-
-
Nightwing: why has Duke been glaring at you all night?
Red Hood: no clue.
Duke is the only bat on the day shift and Jason has been using that as entertainment for the past six months.
