[ this is a relief too- having her lay against him like this. it makes him feel like he isn't drifting away. like he isn't falling off that roof. at least for now, he isn't going to be completely forgotten.
he shifts around a little to make things comfortable, sliding his arms around her just the same, and burying his face in against her head. ]
Thank you. I couldn't have done any of this without you.
[he says quietly, dropping a soft, hopefully comforting kiss against her hair.]
[The feeling of his arms sliding around her helps ground her a little bit more and her lips curve up into a small smile when she feels him kiss her head.]
I can say the same thing to you.
[She says softly.]
I meant what I said to Dick, things are getting better and that's because of you. I know you find it hard to believe but you're helping me just as much I'm helping you, Jason.
[ her words leave him quiet for a long moment, because he does find it very hard to believe, but if he really lets himself, he can see it. he can feel it. they haven't exactly been terrible for each other. ]
[ is he okay? he doesn't know. he's trying to be okay too. for now he just squeezes her back and answers the second part of that question. ]
Incredibly fucking relieved. I thought... that maybe I'd have to go back and finish him. But they did it. They got him, and they're all okay. It's over.
[She feels a tightening sensation in his chest when he says that he was worried that he would have to go back and finish Crane and she tries not to clutch him tighter, it's okay she tells herself, Crane is locked up and Jason doesn't have to go anywhere.]
Yeah.
[Over. It feels strange to hear but he's right, things have settled back down to the usual level of danger for the Titans which leaves her and Jason free to be....something else.]
[ this is what he had been wishing to hear. daring to hope for. he left, and everything was fixable. everything turned out okay. he took the poison away.
and he brought it here instead and that scares him, but he's selfish. he wants to be here right now. ]
It's good. That he said I disappeared and that was it. They're done with me. It's good.
[She nods, although part of her will probably still worry about Dick continuing to look for Jason, he tends to hate loose ends but hopefully some other Titans business will pop up and he'll let it go.]
I guess this means we can both relax.
[She says and then chuckles softly because what a strange concept that is.]
[ Jason knows for a fact that Dick won't look for him. the first time he was up on a rooftop, Dick had to talk him down off the ledge, and then he left and Dick never reached out to him again before he died. he knows Dick won't look for him.
it's good that she laughs because it's all very painful, but that gets him to let out a soft laugh as well, rubbing at his eyes. ]
[She asks, wanting to move the conversation away from Dick and the Titans. They've done what they needed to do and maybe they can talk about it more later, she'll have to tell him about Donna, but for right now she only has enough energy to talk about simple things.]
I'm usually a big fan of a bubble baths, or working in the garden.
[normally? he doesn't normally relax. he used to, sometimes, before he died. he tries to think back to then, but thinking about it only makes things feel more painful, so he stops. whatever he did back then is not what he does anymore. it's not who he is anymore.]
Uh. Yeah. Those things.
[no, he's actually only taken a bubble bath like once in his life. but the garden...]
Like in the mornings when I go to the garden. I guess that.
[She can hear in his voice how foreign the concept of relaxing is to him and she can't help but chuckle softly.]
Yeah things like that.....or this.
[She says after a moment, enjoying listening to the sounds of him breathing and his heart beat. He feels so warm and comfortable and she yawns and nuzzles her head against him gently, letting her body sink against him even more as her eyes slip shut and sleep rises up to take her.]
[ or this, she says and cuddles closer to him- and yes, it's relaxing, but also a little exhilarating. all these emotions are a lot. ]
Like this.
[he repeats her words quietly, then closes his eyes too because he's exhausted. maybe they can just sleeep until this day is over, and then they can start again.]

I want to believe that. I do. I'm trying.

[She says and gives him a little squeeze.]
Are you okay? I know that wasn't easy for you either....but do you feel some relief knowing that everyone is okay and that Crane is taken care of?
