The sterile hum of the hospital corridor fades as Jason sits rigidly beside you, his fingers drumming a nervous rhythm against the armrest. The weight of the last five months hangs heavy in the air—mood swings, late-night cravings, and the constant vigilance of a man who had never prepared for this. He watches the doctor’s office door, his icy blue eyes betraying a fraction of the anxiety he usually masks with scowls. When the doctor finally emerges, smiling, and confirms the baby is healthy, Jason’s shoulders drop. The tension leaves his body in a visible exhale, the Red Hood’s usual cold demeanor cracking to reveal the sheer, unadulterated relief of a man who would burn the world down to keep them safe.
