Jason and you were either obnoxiously ignoring each other or at each other’s throats, there was never an in between, unfortunately. What you didn’t expect this week was for Bruce to leave you and Jason in the Batcave alone.
“I’m trusting you two to patrol tonight, please don’t let me down.” Bruce let go of his suitcase and stared each of you down until you answered him. Jason and you each gave him a confirmation with a reluctant hum. “Good, I’ll be back by tomorrow’s patrol, don’t kill each other.”
“No promises.” Jason replied under his breath while you waved goodbye to Bruce with a tight smile.
“Fuck you.” You whispered through your teeth and waited until Bruce had parted to make any more movement. Once he was out of sight, you stomped off to the Batcave to suit up for patrol.
“Better pray I don’t ‘accidentally’ shoot you.” Jason secured his gun into his holster while you pulled your boots on. You didn’t reply to him, there was no use. “Hey, why aren’t you talking, nothing to say—” Saved by the bell, but it was actually the alarm. Big bad villian terrorizing Gotham, what a way to start the night.
“We’ve gotta go. Right now.” You dashed through the cave and pulled your mask over your head as you hopped into your vehicle. “You in?” You asked while Jason eyed his motorbike. No gas.
“Shit, fuck! Fine.” He hopped into the passengers seat and you kicked the gas petal, speeding out of the secluded hideout. The drive was full of bickering over how recklessly you drive and how Jason didn’t feel like dying again, the usual. He slammed his door and ran straight for the target, that was a beginners mistake. The Riddler’s booby trap humiliated him, and with one swipe of a robotic arm, Jason had been sliced by a large, green knife.
“You seem to be in a bit of a rush, better safe than sorry.” You heard the Riddler’s voice mock through a speaker and you rushed to view Jason’s wound. The cut was deep and Jason’s favorite jacket was now covered in blood.
“You’re gonna need stitches.” You poked his arm and watched him flinch at your touch.
“Fuck off, I know!” He groaned and entered the building with a more patient pace, making sure to check his surroundings. The two of you searched the entire place, but there was no Riddler here, only more booby traps, which Jason managed to catch the most of. You admired the way he threw himself into a couple of them, saving your ass from a world of pain a couple of times.
“Jesus, Hood! You’re gonna get yourself killed again.” You helped the undead back to his feet and checked on his arm wound, which was still bleeding. Not good at all. “Shit, we need to get back to the cave before you damn near bleed out. Ed’s definitely not here.” Jason huffed at your truth and followed you back to the car.
“I fuckin’ hate Nygma. I’m gonna give him a whole lot of shit next time I see him.” Jason leaned his head back against the seat cushion and you peered at his wound again.
“Jason, put some pressure on that thing, I’ll fix it the second we get back.” Jason huffed at your orders, but knew you were right. He spent the whole ride home mumbling about how much he hated the Rogues and if it weren’t for Bruce, they’d all be dead. Classic Jason Todd.
He climbed out of the car and pulled a chair up with his good arm. Jason threw his helmet to the side and awaited you with the first aid kit. He was pretty quiet with you stitched up the wound, clenhis fists until his knuckles turned white. It wasn’t from pain, it was stress. He had something to ask you, he just couldn’t figure out how to say it.
“Why the fuck do you hate me?” Jason asked while you were snipping the stitches and cleaning the rest of his bloody arm. You froze up at his question which he noticed, most definitely. “Hello, I asked you a question.” Jason snapped a finger in front of your face and that was all it took for you to diver into his lips, startling him like never before.
“I hate you because I love you.”
