Beauty and the Marksman Jason Todd x Reader

Chapter 13: Coldness and Warmth

Y/n's POV

I'm a prisoner, I'm stuck here, and I'm cold.

The coolness of the room kept getting me more cold every minute. I am freezing so bad, my teeth began to chatter and my body started shaking. I let out a sigh and I hear the cell door open.

I look up and I see Jason opening the cell door. I didn't bother to do or say anything other than just sitting on the ground freezing to death.

Suddenly, I feel the chains being unlocked from my ankles and I suddenly feel myself being picked up from the ground, bridal style.

I look up to see Jason looking down at me.

"I wasn't gonna let you suffer from cold." He replied

I sigh, feeling the warmth of his body and I started wrapping my arms around his neck as he started walking us out from cell and I blacked out.

*Time Skip*

I woke up from the warmth of the blankets. I look around and I realized I'm laying down on a bed and I'm in a......bedroom?

I looked around confused and of course I still have handcuffs on and I looked at my ankles and they're tied around with rope in a knot.

I rolled my eyes and let out a soft sigh. I sit up from the bed and I hear the door open and Jason walks in with 2 cups in his hands.

All I did was look at him, not interested at all from this gesture.

He still has me tied up.

He still has me as his so called prisoner.

He left me down there in the cold of that cell room.

But he moved me here.

I'm still gonna kick his ass as soon he gets these handcuffs off of me.

Jason walks over to me and sits down on the other side of the bed, holding out one of the cups to me.

"Here." He replied, as I grab the cup from his hand and looking down at the water.

I see the reflection of my face through the water. Damn, I look terrible and I still have tear stains on my face. I look up at Jason, seeing him just staring at me.

"If you think I'm trying to drug you or something, you're wrong. I told you, I would never hurt you." He said

I looked at the cup again from my hands. I put a good grip on the cup and I threw it to the other side of the room as the water pour out of the cup, spilling the water on the ground.

I gave him a glare.

"You really think this is forgiving?" I snapped at him

Jason looks at me with a small glare.

"First of all, that was rude. What's so wrong of me to at least help you stay hydrated. Second, I did say sorry. Third, I wasn't asking you to forgive me. I knew you weren't gonna forgive me either way. Even if I were to let you go."

"You did say you love me!"

"And I do. You think I stopped?" Jason replied, and he put the other cup on the nightstand next to the bed. "There's your other cup, I kinda knew you were gonna do that to the first cup."

I looked at the cup and then back at Jason as I nodded slowly.

"Thank you, then." I whispered, as I played with my fingertips.

"Your welcome." He said

He stands up from the bed as he starts to exit the room.

"Wait."

He paused and he turned towards me.

"Yeah?"

I wasn't so sure what all of this is about but this new Jason. I have to know about this and why he decided to return to Gotham as the Red Hood.

"All of this....I need to know why you decided to keep me here. What are gonna do with me? Am in your some type of plot that you're trying to do to lure Batman out?" I asked him

Jason looks out towards the door as he grabs the doorknob from the outside, deciding whether he should stay or walk out.....like he always does.

Instead, he pushes the door and closes it. Jason looks at me as he put his hands in his pockets.

"Alright. You wanna know?"

I nodded my head.

"Please."

Jason begins walking towards me and he grab my ankles and started untying the knot.

"Alright, you can walk but I'm not gonna undo the handcuffs. Those stay on."

I slowly remove myself from the bed as soon the knot was undone. As soon I was standing on my two feet, I slowly started to walk but I lose my balance while standing and I felt a pair of strong arms around my torso.

I look up and I see Jason.

"You okay?" He asked me

Jason held onto me tightly as I held onto his leather jacket.

The more I stared at him in the eye, the more it made me realized that maybe just maybe, the Jason Todd I miss so damn much is still in there.

"I'm fine." I replied softly.

Jason help me to stand steady. He started moving my hair away from my face and he puts a strand of my hair behind my ear and I remove my hands from his jacket.

"I'm fine." I nodded

"Alright. Come on, follow me."
