I need your help.

[theknightshift]

[ He reads this message twice because surely he's messaged the wrong Bruce. ]

With?

[copsormasks]

Can’t deal with this.

[theknightshift]

[ There's a litany of things he wants to say. Things he wishes he'd said to his Jason when he finally realized he was back. But he has to be careful here. They don't have that history. ]

Tell me what you need from me.

[copsormasks]

I haven’t slept since I came back. Every time I close my eyes, he’s all I can fucking see.

[theknightshift]

Tell me about it.

[copsormasks]

I’ve been staying with Bruce, but every time I get too tired the Joker shows up in my head and I can still feel it. Being beaten. Dying. I can’t get away from it.

[theknightshift]

I know what it's like. To have him in your head.

[copsormasks]

How thr fuck do you deal with it? I feel like I’m going crazy.

[theknightshift]

What he did happened. You have to accept it. And then you have to decide to stop letting it control you.

You are one of us. You'll always be one of us. Joker can't take that from you.

[copsormasks]

The fuck kind of bullshit advice is that? Deal with it?

[theknightshift]

Yes, Jason. You have to deal with it.

Or are you going to stay stuck in it forever?

[copsormasks]

Fuck you! I can’t believe I thought you’d help.

[theknightshift]

There is no magic fix. If you want to get better then work for it.

[copsormasks]

I can’t work on shit if I’m sleep-deprived!

[theknightshift]

What are you doing before you go to bed?

[copsormasks]

Trying to read.

[theknightshift]

Change your sleep routine.

Try meditation. Breathing exercises. Work on getting yourself to relax. If you're stressed before going to sleep, you're increasing the likelihood you'll have another nightmare.

[copsormasks]

Tried those first. I can’t calm down.

[theknightshift]

Because that alone isn't enough. You have to deal with what happened.

[copsormasks]

Leslie isn’t here. Who the fuck am I supposed to talk to?

[theknightshift]

Not Crane.

[copsormasks]

I’m not talking to Crane. Who the fuck said that?

[theknightshift]

No one. I am only telling you to stay away from him.

[copsormasks]

Why, cause he might make some sense?
