"Of course there is," Jason says more firmly. It's what they don't seem to understand. There is absolutely a gray area and Jason feels he's right in the center of it. "I'm doing what Bruce can't do. Protecting people who are terrorized over and over again by the same criminals because no one else will get rid of them. That's what I do and some day, Bruce will see that. Some day he'll realize that there has to be a gray area."
As for Alfred, he hopes he understands before Bruce does. Jason thought maybe he already did. But that disappointment buries deep into him and he knows he's been lying to himself about some things, at least. "You're right about one thing... I couldn't kill him. I wanted to, though. I thought... if I had the chance, I would, but I couldn't. Doesn't mean I don't want him out of my way, though."
