(ON HOLD)Vigilante In A New World(Jason ToddXThe Walking Dead Fanfic)

Season 2 Chapter 5: "Cherokee Rose Part 1"

3rd Person POV

It was now the next morning and the rest of the group had arrived.

Shane could be seen setting up tents outside of Hershel's house while Glenn, Amy, and the others unpacked necessities.

Daryl could be seen in Jason's room with the latter's side properly stitched and bandaged.

Daryl waited for the teen to wake up, holding a plate of eggs and toast.

After finishing his breakfast, Daryl heard a groan, looking up to see Jason rubbing his forehead in pain.

Jason: "Fuck, I could go for some whiskey right now..."

Daryl: "You and me both."

Jason looked to Daryl and chuckled.

Jason: "One of these days, I'm going to find some vodka."

Daryl: "How do you feel?"

Jason looked at Daryl with a "Seriously?" Look to which Daryl held his hands up in surrender.

Daryl: "Stupid question."

Jason: "No shit."

Jason then tried to sit up but instantly held his side in pain.

Jason: "Okay, maybe I shouldn't get up for a while."

Daryl chuckled softly as he took a drink of orange juice.

Jason: "So, what's the good news and bad news?"

Daryl: "Good news is that you'll heal fine, just need to rest. No bad news."

Jason: "I see. That's good. Fuck, I'm hungry!"

Daryl grabbed his bag and went through it, pulling out a package of beef jerky and tossing it to Jason who caught it.

Jason: "Oh, Daryl, you've outdone yourself."

Daryl chuckled.

Daryl: "Just shut up and eat."

Jason smiled before he started eating the beef jerky, sighing in satisfaction.

Jason: "I'll be sure to pay you back for these, bro."

The door then opened to reveal Hershel and Rick who walked in.

Rick: "How are you feeling?"

Jason looked at Rick.

Jason: "Like any other GSW victim."

Rick chuckled lightly.

Rick: "Good to see your humor is still intact."

Jason smirked.

Jason: "You ain't getting rid of it that easily."

Rick smiled before he placed Jason's Red Hood mask on the nightstand and left with Hershel but the old man stopped at the door and looked at Jason.

Hershel: "I thought it over for a bit and I decided that when you're all healed up, you and your people can stay for as long as you need. Just don't cause any trouble."

Jason smiled and nodded.

Jason: "You have my word, sir."

Hershel smiled before he left the room.

*Timeskip*

Thanks to his enhanced healing, Jason was up and moving surprisingly early, walking with Sophia beside him over to Rick who was talking with Hershel, Shane, Daryl, Maggie, and Andrea.
