[At the words "not just being a mirror to someone" Thad flinches, snapping to stare up at Jason with a mix of shock and suspicion. But looking him over searchingly, he can't recognize him. At least, not as anyone Bart knew before he was Kid Flash...
No...no, the statement was just a coincidence. He was just being sensitive...paranoid. Reel it in Thad.
Shocking as it had been, the sentiment wasn't inaccurate. In a way he was just as much a reflection of his "father" as he was Bart. Maybe even more so. Or at least a reflection of who he thought the man was. He'd never actually met him. All he knew of him was what he wanted from him, and what he'd done to him.
Made it hard to know how to really properly rebel against the man, when he didn't really know a thing about him...
Then again, Jason was also probably right that just being his own person was the best way he could stick it to him. Though that did still leave him adrift when it came to knowing where to start with that task.
After mulling Jason's words over, eventually Thad gives a stiff nod.]
I guess I just...don't actually know where I should start with that. I...[Pausing, Thad thinks his wording over, trying to figure out how exactly to put this so he doesn't raise any more alarm bells then nessisary.]I don't really know what would make me happy. Or what I want for myself, outside of what he wanted for me.
