PSL :: Unbalanced

[agentx13]

Sharon is up early the next morning. She's careful not to wake Jason, but she doubts she'll succeed. Jason would be an excellent agent, if he ever had the inclination to be one.

She silently makes her way through the cave, ducking into the neighboring cavern that leads outside and walking barefoot out to the edge of the foliage. The brush is thicker here; she can barely see thirty feet. She doubts anyone is watching them. God, this is a good place to be. She lifts her face to the sun and takes a moment before moving into the trees, on the lookout for fruits and vegetables. The cave has to have a food source nearby somewhere.

She won't be able to present a great breakfast to Jason, but maybe she'll be able to offer something edible that doesn't come out of a can.

It isn't long before she returns to the cave with a handful of rose apples and a couple pomelos.

She stopped short when she saw him, her bewildered expression slowly turning to one of pleasure. She shrugged and went to the table. She set most of the fruit on the table and carried a rose apple over to Jason, carrying one for herself.

"Sorry. I left my pad of paper in my other birthday suit." She bit into the apple and chewed for a moment before kissing his teeth and going to sit on the bed. She patted the space beside her.

"So. Let's talk. Because as much as I'd love to hide out here forever, I don't think it's going to be a permanent solution."

A little peeved (mostly because he'd overreacted. Probably.), Jason shrugs and accepts the apple but doesn't sit. He takes a big bite, holding the entire apple between his teeth so he can use his hands to finish getting his pants up. Really, she was lucky he was too tired to argue with her.

But yeah, they didn't have the luxury of real rest. Finishing his bite, Jason munched thoughtfully, glancing out the entry she'd gone through. He still doesn't sit.

"Yeah, I figured this slice of peace wouldn't last. We probably have a couple hours at worst, a day or two at best."

"We've got to have more than that," she said incredulously. She removed her arm from the space beside her. If he didn't want to sit, she wasn't going to make him.

She took another bite of her apple. Saying something couldn't happen wouldn't change the fact that it could happen while she was arguing about it, and Talia wasn't going to be so forgiving this time.

"So, what? We run?" Her face fell a little. She couldn't do that to him. She couldn't bring the entirety of the League of Assassins on him just because she'd unbalanced two universes.

"Jason..." It might be too dangerous to take him back to Gotham, but maybe she could get him close enough, or to a major city where he could catch a flight there.
