Connor probably shouldn’t find the other man’s threat attractive, and he definitely wasn’t going to let it show. The other man seemed to really want to get him out of the city, not that Connor wasn’t aware of what part of the town he was in, it would be stupid not to. Connor shrugs casually, swallow as he thinks of a reply. There was a time to press and there was a time to walk away. “ Sooner I get the file the sooner I’m out of your hair? ”

He didn’t really know why the man seemed so focused on him leaving the city, he could make his own assumptions but it seemed like a complete waste of time. “ Thanks  for the advice, I’ll find my own way. ” He pulls away and straightens his jacket as he heads for the exit. This is a bad idea.

Connor getting up and pretending to act all tough was probably the point where Jason's patience just snapped and if he was near someone he'd of tried to  punch them in the face by now just to relieve some of his stress.

Swearing under his breath about tourists he quickly caught up with the law student, one hand flying to the back of his collar to immediately stop him in his tracks and pull him back slightly. "You step out'ta that door without me and you're gonna die before dawn." Throwing his arm around Connor's shoulders Jason pulled him along. "Didn't say I wasn't going t' help. It'll be a dull night if I don't look out for your sorry ass."

Connor didn’t buy the other mans words for a second, his expression made it hard to actually be sure. He tried to ignore the kid comment that was combined with a decline. He really did. But that combined with a turn down was bothering him.

His lips pres together, the corner of his mouth moving up for a second as he looks at the other man in thought. “ I could change your mind. ”

"Listen, brat. I'm about two seconds away from pointin' a gun at that pretty little head o' yours so you either give me somethin' worthwhile or I paint the top o' this bar red and ya' wanna know what the best part is? In this city ain't no one gonna give a shit about the fancy kid who mouthed off."

Sure he might not have always been the threatening type but Connor really was playing a dangerous game and the sooner he learnt that the better; Jason sure as hell didn't want Batman showing up on this side of town because some rich kid got cut up.

             ”Reject?!” So, for a first solo encounter with Jason Todd,               it wasn’t the worst in history. He wasn’t trying to kill her,               or fight her…even if calling her a reject was fighting words.

          With a roll of his eyes Jason let out an obnoxious           whistle, one that was meant to simply catch the           attention of a person. "Oi, team spirit. Yeah reject,            you need a hearin' aid already?"

Are you saying touring around Gotham’s underworld is fun to you? Kyler crossed his arms. He couldn’t read Jason yet. He could only read Rose half the time and he lived with her. Although he did think that, on the surface, the two seemed a lot alike. Give it time.

"And how do you suggest we do that? Jump out the window and scale the side of the building?" They’re called shadows for a reason. It’s annoying. I don’t even know why I need one. He did know or better put, he knew why Rose thought he did.

"I was thinkin' we knock 'em out for a while." It was almost laughable that Kyler thought they'd have to use such extreme methods, Jason knew how to stop someone following him, Kyler clearly hadn't learnt that much yet. "Trust me kid, I grew up with someone that spent his whole time lurking around corners."

"Or we have a lil' fun and let the guard chase us."

“ Personally? I have a lot to offer, I’m very flexible in some areas. Otherwise? You don’t seem the type that would go for money. ”

Something about the other man definitely didn’t seem like someone who could be bought. He doubt the warnings he gave was the kind of thing the other man did often. He, of course was talking about sex, the other man had warned him about manipulation, he didn’t really consider this one.

Jason's eyes ran over Connor, finally deciding to asses him as though he really might be something interesting if only for the underlying tone he was trying to keep up. "Sorry kid, you're not my type."

It was purely out of curiosity that caused him to deny the offer, wondering what Connor might do next.

Do you actually need something or can I go?

Yeah, shocking I know but I don't usually stand around and chat with people I hate. Now we're done with the small talk I need you to go down t' the docks and deal with some people for me, normally I'd do it but it'll mess with a deal I've got goin'. So be a good guy and knock out a few mobsters would ya'?

Threw some quick colours over a Lost Days!Jason Todd sketch I did tonight.

some brats for dre’s birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SIDEKICK

Hilarious.

Glad you agree.

Kyler hadn’t expected that. I’m not boring. What’s the one day you need to go?

"Well, I’m sure she’ll find out from my teacher even if I don’t say anything." Since I’m the only one in the class. “But I can just say you kidnapped me. She won’t believe me. Still, I think you’ll end up taking most of the heat,” Kyler paused. “But honestly you look like you can probably handle it.” He finished the string of thoughts and then asked skeptically, “What’s ‘fun’ to you?”

"Whatever, we'll call it family bonding. Say your Great Uncle died or some shit." He didn't really care, nor did he actually need a reason since he could just explain it to Rose with a shrug and a 'why not'. "I ain't gonna drag you 'round Gotham's underworld if thats what you're thinkin' even I don't wanna deal with those repercussions." And Kyler being shot on his watch probably wasn't going to be easy to explain. "First we gotta cut off that shadow Rosie gave ya', she wont mind so long as I'm around."

"Then, please! You must tell me all about yourself! Are you the younger or older brother? Or perhaps are you twins? Did you and Robin get along as children? Why have you not come to visit?"

Jason wished he'd never said the half-truth when it meant also playing a game of twenty questions. "Dick's older, by 'bout eight or ten years." Give or take, he'd never really done the maths, never really cared enough. "When we were younger, sure. Grew apart over a bunch of shit." Somehow he found himself being more honest then he'd originally intended to be, lying he was good at, telling the truth? Not so great. "He doesn't like me so much anymore." Even if the feeling was completely mutual Jason didn't have to explain that much.

Rhodes just smirks in reaction to Jason’s words, as his mouth was currently occupied.

      “ Didn’t think so. ” Rhodes just makes a light snort like noise when Jason switches the positions, not expecting it to really last all that long. His arms shift over his friends shoulders to pull up his shirt as his legs move around Jason to keep himself steady.

      With a quick shift in his attitude that proved Jason was no longer playing with Rhodes his hand suddenly grabbed his friends hair, tugging his head sharply backwards and simply trusting him to stay where he was. "Now, are you done trying to manipulate me?" Almost letting out a laugh he quickly kissed Rhodes before shoving him away, gesturing towards the door with a nod of his head. "Let's go drinking."
