Jason was going to just let himself fall into the river below and die; he was that far gone. Well, Dick didn't want that on his conscience, but that wasn't the only reason he grabbed Jason's hand, risking his own safety, before Jason let go. No, he couldn't let Jason die. If Tim was dead, letting Jason die would only make things worse. Losing two brothers in one day would kill him more than he'd ever admit out loud.

“Let me go!” Jason shouted as he thrashed, but Dick was having an adrenaline rush, and it gave him the strength to lift his brother back onto the train. “Damn you!”

Before Jason could mount an attack, Dick quickly pinched a cluster of nerves on Jason's neck, sending him into unconsciousness. Dick sighed in relief as he readied a grapple to get them off the damned train. Once off the train, Dick removed all of Jason's weaponry and utility belt along with his gloves before zip-stripping him. Dick hadn't wanted to do it this way, but he couldn't exactly have Jason escaping from him at this point; he would be a danger to himself and others.

Dick was trying to figure out if going back to the mansion was a good idea when his comm went off. It was Tim, and Dick felt relief fill him as Tim told him he was fine and to kick Jason's ass for him. Dick conveniently forgot to mention he had Jason with him before clicking off the communicator.

That decided it for Dick; he wasn't heading back to the cave or the manor, not with Tim there. Dick made a beeline for one the Robin's Nests that Tim had scattered in the city, one that Tim didn't use much and was less likely to notice was in use. Until he could get Jason the care he sorely needed, Dick was going to keep him here. Jason would protest when he woke up, but he had no choice in the matter now. Dick had made up his mind, and he was going to protect his brother from himself at all costs.
