Besides, it could have its uses. That's what he tells himself, anyway.
(What lies beneath it, whether he likes it or not, is the fact that she does seem determined to know him. To rekindle a bond he doesn't remember. Some part of him, like it or not, aches for that. But he's become good at muffling that feeling, ignoring it and pretending it's something else. He's on a mission. He's going to complete it. Or he was, anyway.)]
But you're right. You could say I have a penchant for it. I've gotten pretty good at getting out of the way. Of course, if I'm not shooting first. [Sometimes, he's not shooting first. Life, it has its occasional suckage!
Or more than occasional. Because he's Jason Todd.]
