Bruce remembers their first meeting. Remembers thinking Jason is exactly the kind of kid he would have taken in all those years ago. The exact kind of kid he'd have put in harm's way. Somewhere, some version of him had and if Jason's answer is any indication, it ended about as well for him as it had for Tim.

Who was he to ever recruit these children, like they were little tin soldiers? None of them deserved the danger being associated with him - with Batman - brought on them.

He's quiet.
