Jason spends most of his 37th year traveling, both on world and off it. The newly formed Outlaws tracking down an extraterrestrial crime syndicate that decided to set up shop on Earth, though they meet up in the crossfire on occasion. Once, when a battleship touches down in Bludhaven and Dick fucks him in the woods behind the park to celebrate. And another when Dick tracks Jason down in Instanbul and they spend a week exploring the city, braking into museums to view ancient artifacts, making love – not fucking.
But mostly their relationship goes digital, daily text messages and emails. It's not the same, but Jay can't deny the joy of having dozens of nude and half naked pictures of Dick on his phone, waking up to videos that made even him blush was better than Christmas.
It's fun. They once spend an entire day communicating in emoji's. Surprisingly, and not, Dick seems to understand it way more than Jason, who often wonders what the hell half the images mean.
It gives him hope. He thinks that things will be better when he gets home.
They aren't.
