AN: listen to chasing cars by snow patrol while reading this chapter it really fits it
Jason was in Sophie's apartment, waiting for Elli to get back from the airport because she was dropping off Sophie so she could catch her flight to Paris. Currently Jason was bored out of his mind he tried watching TV but nothing good was on so he decided to check the rest of the apartment out. He passed by the kitchen nothing important just food. He opened the fridge and took out a beer. He walked to a door and opened it he noticed it seemed really bare and had almost nothing in it so he assumed it was Sophie's. He walked into the next room and noticed it looked like a hurricane passed by. Clothes were on the floor, and the bed was unmade. He was about to close the door when he noticed a picture on the night-stand it was of a woman, she had Elli's rusty brown hair but instead of Elli's big gray eyes had small brown ones she looked of Asian descent. He guessed that it was her mom. Then he started to wonder what happened to her, he might have been watching Elli to make sure she would be a good sidekick but he really didn't know much about her. He had to emit that every time she talked he clung to her words she intrigued him that much was true. He walked out of the room and closed the door just in time to hear the front door opening. Elli stepped into the apartment she was wearing a blue tank her hair in a braid, and really short, shorts he couldn't help it he started to stare. He had forgotten that a massive heat wave hit Gotham staying in the nice air-conditioned apartment. He smiled he hadn't notice how much he missed her.
"Hey, Elli" he walked nonchalantly toward her. She turned to look at him; Jason was wearing cargo shorts, and a red t-shirt.
"Hey, Jason" she couldn't help smile hearing his voice, even though she was in a really bad mood. She grabbed his beer and took a long drink.
"Hey, that my beer!" he protested taking it back.
"Tt. It's a 101 degrees outside okay I'm thirsty it's not my fault the first drinkable liquid was in your hand" she said crossing her arms. Jason laughed.
"So ready to go?" he questioned. They both agreed earlier that it would smarter for Elli lived at the base with Jason. Elli scoffed,
"No, it's too hot outside no way I'm stepping out again, let's go tomorrow. And I had to wake up at six am to drop off Sophie at the airport. And then waited so long to get there and it's like a whole mess. Once we got there. On top of that someone kept calling me at midnight every night" she said glaring at him.
"Just wanted to get ready, and get our game plan down" he said chuckling. Elli walked over to the coach and plopped down turning on the TV. Jason went and sat next to her.
"Don't bother nothing good is on" he said sighing. "Look if you're really tired go to sleep and I'll come back tomorrow" but it was too late Elli had already fallen asleep and was now snuggling up to Jason. Jason chuckled, he kissed Elli's cheek he couldn't help it every time she was around him he found himself becoming more impulsive and not thinking things through. And soon he fell asleep holding Elli close. With a sloppy grin on his face he was actually pretty happy, something he hadn't felt in such a long time. It wasn't the happy he felt when his plans of Batman killing the Joker looked like it was going to work out. There was something more, a calming feeling that this moment would last forever. Elli stirred a bit in her sleep, but didn't wake up. She didn't know that Jason just kissed her but all she knew is that she felt safe.
