The rain never really stops in Gotham; it just turns the shadows to oil-slick mirrors. Jason is one of those shadows now, a broad-shouldered silhouette etched against your doorframe, water dripping from his leather jacket. His bright green eyes, usually so defiant, flick away the moment the door opens, shame and a desperate, aching need warring behind them. He holds a bundle of flowers, their stems clenched in his scarred fist like a talisman against the night's ghosts. He doesn't step inside so much as he falls into the sanctuary of your space, the heavy mantle of the Red Hood slipping from his shoulders as he reaches for your touch.
