Jason travels to an alternate universe where Bruce only cares about being Batman. He took in each of his kids to serve the mission, not be his children.
Now, faced with alternate versions of his family, Jason has to grapple with the fact that his Bruce does care, that he is his father. Because the man in front of him now, trying to send him home, isn’t even close.

I can't write a full on story I hope someone does, but you have to add this to the story. Because he would say this:
Bruce: Oh wow, you went to a world where it clear I only cared about being Batman?
Jason: Y... Yeah.
Bruce (pulling out a bottle Cognac): And used kids as weapons and didn't care about them? At all.
Jason (gritted teeth): Yes.
Bruce: That's fascinating. That means what exactly?
Jason: I'm actually asking you to not make me say it.
Bruce (pouring the liquid into two glasses): No, I'm not making you. I just want to hear this for my sake. Confirmation, it's not like I'm recording this entire conversation, but if you could say it as a complete sentence that'd be great.
Jason: This is going to hurt every bone in my body... In this reality I currently am in, you actually care about us as your children and although allowing your adopted children to be Robins, which you did allow us not force us, you are glad to be a father.
Bruce sniffled, holding his head down with a small smile.
Bruce: I've always wanted you to say something of that variation. This is better than the time you went to the dimension where I turned evil because of Joker toxin and after I killed him.
Jason (taking the second shot glass): Yeah, whatever.
Bruce: The fact you knew you could take that shows I am at least a good dad.
Jason (as he went upstairs): Don't push it!
