Jason: The Origin (Book 1)

Reassurance

I went to the alien bar, I wanted to get drunk. But because I had two sets of powers, not even what they had at the bar could intoxicated me. I ran home, what would soon be Kara and Mon-el's home. I saw a picture of me and Kara. I picked it up and walked with it. I punched it and dropped the broken picture frame. I sat down and cried, throwing the wallet Kara gave me a few feet away. I sat in the dark for a while, and just cried. Letting out everything I had been bottling up, or as much as I could, there were too many bad feelings in that bottle, too many things that I couldn't afford to let loose.

Kara Pov

I left Catco, I had finished my work and wanted to go home. I opened the door and saw a broken picture frame. I walked to it and saw the wallet I gave Jason. I heard crying and looked to see Jason, sitting on the floor, crying. He saw me and hung his head. I walked to him and kneeled by him. "Jason, come on, tell me what's wrong," I said softly. He didn't answer. My heart was broken for him. It was clear to me Jason just needed to cry. I sat next to him and he put his head on my shoulder. I put my head on his and we sat in silence, I was trying to figure out what was wrong. Jason spoke, his voice breaking "Don't leave me" He begged. I put my arm around him "I wouldn't" I reassured. "You still love Mon-el, you're gonna go back to him aren't you?" Jason asked, I now knew what this was about.

"I don't love Mon-el"
"Kara, I can see it in your eyes. And when you cried about him going through the wormhole, the only person you get that torn up over is me"
"Jason, I only love you, its me and you forever"
"Sure"
"What can I do to make you believe me"
"I don't know, look Mon-el dead in the eyes and tell him, I'm not sure."
"I'll do it if that's what it takes"
"So you're gonna stay?"
"Never even thought of leaving"
"Okay"
"Why did this eat at you so much"
"After Olivia, I couldn't bear to lose you, It would have killed me."
"You'll never lose me"
"Promise?"
"Promise"

We sat for a few minutes more. I hated it when Jason cried, and I hated having something to do with why he was crying. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I took it out, Alex texted me a video. I watched it. It was security cam recordings of Alex and Jason talking. Alex was grilling Jason hard, I'm not sure why. Eventually Jason snapped, He was talking about how he didn't sleep, and was worried about me leaving him. It broke my heart.

Alex sent me another video, it was Jason and Mon-el talking. Mon-el was basically attacking Jason. Jason talked back and it almost got physical before Alex came in. I put my home down.

"You shouldn't have seen that"
"I cannot believe Mon-el"
"I already know you wanna go talk to him, but please stay, I need cuddles" Jason said. I don't know how he could say stuff like that and still be a badass, it's a special skill. I got up and helped Jason up, we walked to the bed and cuddled, He wouldn't want anyone to know but he was the little spoon this time. After a bit we fell asleep. It was Friday so we could sleep in tomorrow.

I woke up with Jason in my arms. I smiled and scooted closer to him. I was gonna let him sleep. This relationship was weird. I always expected to be the one with baggage, but in the end Jason's was the heaviest.

"Hey"
"Good morning, sleeping beauty"
"Id tease you back if you weren't so cute"
"Oh, so I'm cute?"
"Very"
"Why thank you"
"I'm sorry abo-"
"Be quiet, you don't need to apologize. You can stop apologizing so much"
"I've never heard that before"
"Well get used to it"
"But yeah, thanks for being there, I've spent a lot of my life alone, Now that I'm not, I don't ever want to be one again."
"I know"
"Looks like you turning out to be the world's finest detective"
"Thats Batman"
"I don't think that's how you say The Flash"
"Smooth"
"Always am"
"You hungry?"
"Thirty more minutes"
"Yes sir"
