Jason might have still come if Bruce had been there. Tim had needed him, and while he knew that it hadn't been a serious need, the boy had still asked and Jason had started to find himself unable to say no to those pretty blue eyes. He probably wouldn't have stayed, though. Being lectured about ruining Tim Drake's reputation wasn't exactly the ego boost that Bruce seemed to think it was.

Jason didn't want to make life harder for Tim just because of their...whatever they had. Contrary to what their family seemed to think.

Reaching out, Jason gently stroked a strand of hair back behind Tim's ear, his thumb lightly brushing the patch of cheek it had been hiding.

"Oh, I know you don't have to do anything. And he's very grateful for your understanding of his situation. But...if you're serious about not wanting people with ill intent to be around your organization, you may want to go ask Mr. Coleman exactly why he's favoring his left arm." He paused, giving Tim a little bit of a look before he cleared his throat and leaned in to whisper "And maybe exactly what he said to the girl he wanted to rough up to get her to leave the rest of the girls on the corner. He'll deny it, but the bossman's got proof if you want to see it."

So maybe he hadn't been coming tonight just to personally hand over the donation. He knew how fiercely Tim protected his program.
