You entered the polished lobby of Wayne Enterprises, the soft hum of activity around you a familiar background to your thoughts. As you made your way to the elevator, the excitement of seeing Jason gave you an unexpected sense of calm. The doors opened, and soon you were walking down the hallway toward his office.

You knocked gently before stepping inside, and Jason, who had been focused on a pile of paperwork, looked up. His eyes immediately softened when they met yours, the usual seriousness of his demeanor shifting into a warmer expression.

“Didn’t expect to see you today,” he said, his voice carrying a mix of surprise and pleasantness as he stood up from his desk. “What’s the occasion?”

You made your way toward his desk, casually leaning against it. “Thought I’d check in on Gotham’s favorite CEO. Looks like you could use a break from all this paperwork.”

Jason chuckled, the tension in his shoulders visibly easing. “I could definitely use one,” he said, walking toward you and gently taking your hand. “It’s always better when you’re around.”
