Cause I Hit What I Aim For (Bruce Wayne, The Batman)
[Jason is busy scrambling eggs for him and Bruce in the kitchen when it happens. In one moment, he's stirring the eggs, hand on the handle of the pan and in the next, Jason disappears. Right out of Etraya's window of existence. The pan clatters to the floor, eggs spill onto the tile, but there's no sign of Jason. Another beat passes and then Jason is suddenly standing back at the stove-top, looking pale, his eyes distant before they roll back in his head and he collapses down into the mess of eggs. His head barely misses the edge of the counter as he goes down.

He stares blankly up at the ceiling, completely unaware of anything around him as the memories of the crowbar, that twisted face, play beneath the surface.

Cause I Might End the Game For You (Jason Todd, WFA)

[Rest is what's been prescribed for Jason after he emerged from his apparent death at the hands of the Joker, but he can't stay helpless in a bed just waiting for the Joker to show up in Etraya. So he takes his new bike and runs, deeper into Nova City. He glances up to see a familiar face and his anger suddenly stokes white hot in his chest as he begins a pursuit.]

Hey! Asshole!

[He'll carry out this chase as long as needed to get up high enough to fight the older Jason. Why didn't they warn him?]



Could Laugh It Off and Keep Running (Chrissy, Stranger Things)

[The first moment he can escape Bruce, Jason runs. He takes to his bike and speeds across town to one person he knows he can trust, who has been there for him every step of the way. He nearly crashes as his disorientation continues to cloud his mind. He climbs the stairs two, then three at a time. He doesn't knock so much as bang on the door. He's determined to get in, to hide, to find comfort where he can.]

Chrissy!

[He's probably disturbing her neighbors but he doesn't fucking care. When she does open the door, he's pale, shaking, and sweating.]

[God, it's almost like looking into a mirror]

Hey. Still here. Look at me. Touch your jacket. Feel the ground.
leastdramatic: (It's not me)

[Jason remains patient, understanding all too well how vulnerable it feels when in the middle of a panic attack]

It's okay. I'm still here. I'm not going anywhere. We can wait until you're back in the present. What can you hear right now?
leastdramatic: (Just for the cookies)

[personal profile] leastdramatic 2026-01-02 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Good. What can you smell?

[It's deliberate. It's slow. Jason hopes it's enough to try to better anchor his younger self]

[Jason nods]

What can you taste?
leastdramatic: (Dragged in)

[personal profile] leastdramatic 2026-01-02 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that'll do it.

[Jason isn't grossed out. He's more concerned with getting his younger self to breath again]

Deep breathes until you feel ready and present. Remember where you are right now.
leastdramatic: (Kind of)

[personal profile] leastdramatic 2026-01-02 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
It's fine. It's not your fault. I've been through those moments a lot more times than I care to count.

[And it's still difficult when in the middle of an attack]

I've had them since my own... incident.
