Chapter 16

                                    

                                          
"No I know you are trying to make him comfortable Danny, but as comfortable as he looks, you need to let him go."
Bruce sighed as Danny let out a gurgled whine, which he has taken as Danny being annoyed. They had been trying to get Danny to let Jason out of his pillow prison but to no avail. The boy was convinced that Jason was sick and needed to be quarantined in some way.
Tim was in the corner typing away on his phone, presumedly to tell the others what had happened. Every so often he would snap a photo when Jason and Danny weren't looking, his expressions changing from serious to mischievous depending on whatever he was typing. He had tried to help Bruce at first too, but Danny was even more determined to keep Tim away from Jason than he was to keep Bruce away. Whereas he had let Bruce get as close as right next to the bed, Tim was basically forbidden from getting closer than a few feet.
Every time Jason tried to intervene Danny chirped at him and he was back to drowsy. He couldn't even sit up before Danny would place a pillow on his chest, push him back down, and chirp at him. Every time he did that Jason would feel a wave of calm and peace hit him. To say it was overwhelming was an understatement, but he couldn't enjoy it or like it though. He felt powerless. Vulnerable. He wanted to have some control back, but he had no idea how to get that across to the kid who was determined to keep him grounded. Even having some of the madness back would be worth it if he could just have some control​​​​​​.
"He can't just stay there forever Danny." Bruce once again tried to reason with the boy. He got another whine in response.
Tim sighed as he turned back to his phone. Unlike the other two, at least he was getting some time to process the information they had discovered. And by that, he meant he was just letting the others join the existential crisis. He scrolled up to read the messages he had already sent, reading over everyone's reactions.
