[ He hates it. Hates how the other man looks at him. Doesn't want the pity. But what'd he think anyway? What'd he expect? ]
It was still you. [ His voice dropped once again, leaving him with nothing but desperation and confusion.
What follows is a stretched silence from his end, eyes moving across the whole room.
So if this is some sort of situation where he got out of his own reality and into this new one, what does that mean?
Can he get back? Is there another him? Does he want to get back?
Thoughts flood his mind, thoughts that both relief and infuriate him. For one it means that he never hurt the people he cares for like he did. Maybe it means that he has a family. It could mean that he could start over.
On the other hand, all his work would be lost. The years he trained, the sacrifices he made to achieve his plan. All the agony he went through, all the torture, for nothing. No one would remember him as the person he used to be. And he especially would have no right to hate his "family" like he does. It could also mean that he was still alive, which made Jason's jaw tense so much it hurt.
He can't deal with any of this. Having Dick tied up doesn't help his cause. Being mad at him doesn't help either. But Jason just really, really couldn't help himself. ]
What happened here, then? Is the Joker still alive? Am-- am I?
