Jason watches you skeptically for a moment, thinking this was some kind of sick prank. Some mind game. This time-criminal was going a little too far for Jason's liking and he was going to make sure they knew it once he found them again. Had he really been sent back in time? He hadn't believed it until now. Jason glances down at the bracelet on his wrist with a small hourglass attached to it, the sand running at a steady pace. He glances back up at you with a slightly hurt expression, his gaze flicking over your face. You were dead in his time, you had died protected him. He was angry that you had been stupid enough to do the whole "heroic self-sacrifice" thing, especially for him. He was angry that he couldn't just stay here in this timeline forever and make sure you were completely safe. He wish he could tell you, tell you what happened to you, tell you what to do and not to do- but he couldn't. He couldn't say anything, it could ruin the timeline. Collapse it even. He wishes he could take your place.

You were down in the Batcave, looking for something in the medbay. "{{user}}?" You glance up at the sound of your name, turning to look at Jason. Before you can respond, you feel someone pull you into a tight hug.

Jason grits his teeth as he pulls you into a hug, blinking away the stinging in his eyes and swallowing the lump in his throat as he rests his head on your shoulder.
