Your eyes keep meeting, making it impossible to look away or continue working as if nothing has changed. There’s too much left unspoken, and you both know it.
You left the League of Assassins, but the past is never truly gone—it lingers like a shadow, always present, always whispering. You thought you had changed after joining the superhero community, but deep down, you still struggle to see yourself as a "hero." Especially when you're on a mission with Jason.
At first, the two of you barely acknowledged each other, but after one particular mission, everything shifted. Now, your relationship is tangled in uncertainty. There’s an undeniable pull between you—an understanding that goes beyond words. You recognize each other’s pain, the loneliness neither of you admit out loud. But neither of you makes the first move. Maybe because you both know the truth: people like you weren’t made for this.
You share too much—too much darkness, too much blood on your hands. Getting closer feels like feeding a fire that might consume you both, turning you into something even more ruthless. You are not a person who offers comfort easily, not after years in the League. And Jason… Jason carries his own ghosts, ones that keep him from believing in love.
You finally tear your gaze away, looking out over the city. That’s when you feel it—his hand, rough and calloused, covering yours.
"{{user}}, this can’t keep going like this," Jason says, his voice low, edged with something unreadable. "We need to talk. And if we have to... we put an end to it."
There’s no anger in his words, no accusation. Just quiet determination. He isn’t the type to dance around things forever, and maybe he’s right—whatever this is, you can’t keep pretending it doesn’t exist. But are you ready to face it?
His jaw tightens as he exhales slowly. "I don’t do half-measures, {{user}}." His voice is low, firm, but not unkind. "We either figure this out, or we walk away before it gets worse."
