Computer Bag…
Raven came armed to the hospital, it'd been two weeks since the accident and the only reason Jason hadn't been released was because Bruce Wayne, Richard Grayson, Timothy Drake, Stephenie Brown, Cassandra Cain, Duke Thomas, Damian Wayne, and Alfred Pennyworth had shown up at the hospital in a fuss; after she had called them and the media frenzy that had ensued. Now it was world new that Jason Todd-Wayne was alive and kicking and living in New York City with a steady girlfriend Rachel Roth, and Jason was not getting out of the hospital.
At least, not without a good cover, and there was none as the Wayne family scrambled to create a viable cover for Jason to have been missing for all the years he had been missing.
Which was what had Raven walking to Jason's private room armed with the computer bag full of goodies for her fiancé who was turning into an agitated mess, who wanted a smoke, and a run, and out of the hospital since he'd refused all pain medication after the first week. Raven was not helping him with her empathy as he had requested her not to help him, and now he was a giant, agitated, whiney baby.
Yup, baby.
"Morning Red," she smiled a bit at her glaring fiancé as she pulled the computer bag from her shoulder then.
"Please tell me you love me and have come to spring me from this hell," he pleaded which had her softening a bit as she gave him the computer bag.
"I do love you," she assured him as she slid her fingers through his slightly curling hair, he'd want a hair cut soon. "However, I'm not here to spring you, I did bring Deadpool, one and two for you," she said as she moved away.
"You are a demon!" he hissed.
"I know," she mused.
"Fiend! The devil's daughter!" he dramatically declared.
"If you're good Red I might show you how much of the devil's daughter I am," she promised in a husky tone which had him lifting his brow in interest.
"You have my attention, Pride," he smiled.
"See, now be good, and watch the movies, I'll get you out of here by the week's end," she promised as she sat down on the bed beside him.
"Please tell me no more family is coming today," he pleaded as he started setting up the computer, Raven did a quick check of the area before she used her powers to help him set up.
"Just me. Alfred, Dick, Tim and Bruce are doing an official interview on you, and Stephenie said she'd come the day you were released. Vic said he'd swing by once you were home, he's avoiding the media circus outside," she said monotonously.
"Great," he muttered as he rubbed a hand over his face.
"Roy might be coming by this afternoon too, but he didn't want to push it. Kori's been called home, her sister's up to something, again," Raven said.
"What!?" Jason did a one-eight on her then.
"No, you're not going with her, nice try, though she said she'd visit once you were home," Raven said.
"Great, they get to go on living and I'm stuck here," he muttered sourly.
"Just be grateful that you're in one piece and that we didn't leave you to fend for yourself with the media," Raven pointed out.
"You are a cruel demon, little bird," he said.
"I'm the devil's daughter," she smiled.
"True," he smiled then, she gasped when he kissed her then, it was hard, it was quick, and it was something she'd missed since he'd come to the hospital. "Been wanting to do that since I woke up."
"Jason," she started.
"Hey, I've been trying to apologize for ruining date night," he protested. She chuckled then as her head rested on his shoulder.
"Jay, I don't care about dates," she promised.
"I know, but since we already suck at this might as well apologize," he pointed out.
"Mmm, well, next time you want out of a date, don't put yourself in the I.C.U. to get out of it," she mused flatly.
"I will try to take that into account next time," he promised solemnly. However, the sincerity of that promise was ruined when they both started laughing as she hid her face in his shoulder. He pulled her against him tightly as the movie started playing and she just savored his warmth.
"You know… kind of wish I was Deadpool right about now, I'd be out of here," he informed her as they watched his favorite movie for the umpteenth billion time.
"Oh, Azar, that's what I need, you being reckless and indestructible," she moaned.
"Come on! I'm not that bad!" he protested.
"No, Red, you are, you really are," she sighed.
"As if! I'm not the demon from hell."
"True, but even I know my limits. You ignore all limits until someone is bailing your ass out of trouble!" she pointed out.
"Not true!" he promised.
"Australia, Africa, the Middle East, the thing in Metropolis, Gotham, San Francisco, and shall we not forget the famous disaster at the Macy's Day Parade?" she started.
"How do you remember all that!?" he wondered.
"Jay, I've known you how long?" she asked blandly.
"Kay, fair point, but still," he sighed.
"You're really lucky, and reckless," she stated again. Jason just frowned and pulled her closer to him, Raven just smiled.
"I don't mind reckless," she whispered. "I just don't think you realize how reckless you really are."
"What if I promise to be more careful?"
Her head fell back as she laughed and then she smiled at him.
"Jason, you're a hurricane, don't change, and don't make promises you can't keep. So long as you don't die on me, I'm happy knowing you're safe and alive," she promised.
"I'm allergic to death," he pointed out.
"So you've said, but my only requirement for you is that you don't die, and I think that's fair enough," she assured him as she scooted closer into his side.
"That's fair enough," he agreed after a long while into their movie.
That's all for now folks.
Enjoy Calm in the Storm.
