(no subject)
Who: Barbara Gordon (newgothamoracle and Jason Todd (unrevenged).
What: Touring the town.
When: The night after this.
Where: The city.
Rating: G
Barbara's chair keeps slowing as she heads to Jason's room, as her mind wanders too far from the task of moving her forward.
She knows he's not her Jason. Her Jason never clawed himself out of his grave. But his smirk is identical, and he feels the same in her arms, and when she looks at him...
When she looks at him it doesn't matter where he came from, it only matters that he's Jason. Stubborn, vulnerable, brash, infuriating, endearing Jason. Their partner, her student, her Little Bird.
She sees his door ahead, and this time she slows on purpose. She focuses on how good it is just to see him, alive and whole, and when she finally knocks there's a smile on her face.
