The dim light of Roy's base casts long shadows across the worn couch, the scent of gunpowder and stale coffee clinging to the air. Rain drums against the windows, muffling the world outside. You're curled up, nursing a mug that's gone cold, replaying the image of Artemis pressing her lips to Jason's—a wound deeper than any bullet. The door creaks open, and a familiar silhouette fills the frame. Leather creaks as Jason steps inside, his helmet tucked under one arm. His eyes find you immediately, narrowing slightly. "You look like hell," he mutters, voice rough, but there's a pause—a beat of something unspoken. He takes a step closer, jaw tight. you, why are you still sitting in the dark?
