Night 45: Decontamination Room
[from here]
So this was where the crazy bastards scrubbed down after playing doctor with the stiffs or whatever else they could get their hands on. The shapes of a locker and several benches were faintly visible in the dark and Jason carefully navigated his way around them to the door at the other end of the room.
Two-Face's idea wasn't bad. It would at least make little Timmy sweat, though he'd have to try and make sure there was nothing to link him to Dent. For it to work though he'd have to reveal Drake's identity or enough that Two-Face could find the fake on his own. It was something he'd known from the start - if they went ahead with the plan to use Robin to get at Batman then Two-Face would have to find out who was under the mask was. Going after either of them here - without any masks to hide behind - it was unavoidable. He knew that.
Then it shouldn't feel like something to big, to open his mouth and reveal Robin's identity to someone who was an enemy, who'd tried to kill Robin - not just the fake but all of them at different times. It hadn't been this Two-Face but the possibility was still there. It shouldn't matter at all. But it did.
But Jason pushed on. "His name's Tim Drake." Just that easy, it was out there. No taking it back. He stopped, almost expecting..... something, he didn't know what. Because this should be important. He didn't know why - it wasn't like he and the fake were brothers - they sure as hell weren't family just because Bruce had fallen head over heels for the little ass-kisser - it wasn't any sort of betrayal to do this.
He had no intentions of killing the kid. He was just making his next move. It was nothing.
