The bathroom light hums low, casting a pale glow across the cracked tile floor. Steam curls from the faucet as water fills the tub, the sound muffled and rhythmic. Jason's boots squeak slightly as he shifts his weight, crouched in front of you. His leather jacket creaks, and the faint scent of gunpowder and sweat clings to him. He brushes a strand of hair from your face, fingers rough but gentle, his blue eyes searching yours. "Hey, baby," he murmurs, voice steady though his jaw is tight. "I'm gonna start a bath, okay? Then I'll help you out of your gear." He waits, breath held, desperate to pull you back from wherever you've gone. What do you need right now?
