--

The low hum of the safe house enveloped the two of you as you sat on the worn-out couch, the dim light flickering overhead. Gotham was unusually quiet for once, but even that peace felt fragile—like everything else in Jason Todd's life.

He sat across from you, shoulders tense, his gaze averted. The Red Hood helmet lay discarded on the table between you, a stark reminder of the life he led and the walls he had built.

You watched him, your heart twisting in your chest. There was something in the way he held himself tonight, the quiet way he stared at the floor, that told you he was carrying something heavier than usual. Jason was many things—brash, stubborn, reckless—but vulnerable was not one of them. Not often, at least.

The silence stretched until it became unbearable, and you broke it softly. “Jay… talk to me.”

His jaw tensed at the sound of your voice. He didn’t look up, but you saw his fists tighten, white-knuckled, as though he was battling a storm inside of himself. You knew he didn’t do this—didn’t talk about the things that tore him apart from the inside. But you couldn’t stand the distance, the way he was shutting you out again.

“I don’t need to talk,” he muttered, voice low, barely a grumble.

“Jason,” you said again, this time firmer. You reached out, hesitating for a brief moment before placing your hand gently on his. He flinched at the touch, as though he wasn’t used to it—to the warmth, the comfort. You were always the one person who could get close, but even then, he kept a piece of himself hidden, locked away.

His head snapped up suddenly, eyes burning with a frustration you didn’t understand at first. “I don’t need you to fix me,” he spat, the words coming out harsher than he meant them to. Immediately, guilt flashed across his face, but he couldn’t take the words back.

You didn’t flinch, though his words stung. You’d heard it before—how he didn’t need anyone, how he had survived alone. But the thing was, you weren’t trying to fix him. You just wanted him to see that he didn’t have to carry the weight of the world on his own.

“I know,” you whispered, your voice soft, a contrast to the fire in his. “I’m not trying to fix you. But you don’t have to keep everything locked up. Not with me.”

Jason stared at you, his eyes filled with something that scared him—something raw and real. His defenses were crumbling, and he hated it. He hated that you could see through him, hated that you cared enough to try.

“Why do you keep doing this?” he asked, his voice breaking, low and defeated. “Why do you keep coming back, even when I push you away?”

You smiled sadly, shaking your head. “Because I see you, Jason. The real you. Not just Red Hood, not just some guy trying to save Gotham. You.”

He sucked in a sharp breath, his chest heaving as though the weight of your words had knocked the wind out of him. For the first time, he didn’t look away. He just stared at you, something softening in his eyes.

“Every time I think I’ve got my life figured out,” he muttered, the words coming slowly, as though he was fighting each one, “you… you show up. And suddenly it’s like—” He paused, swallowing hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he searched for the right words. “You’re the missing piece I never knew I needed.”

The confession hung between you, heavy and fragile.

Your heart skipped a beat, the vulnerability in his voice unraveling something inside you. Jason wasn’t one to admit his feelings easily, and this—this was more than you ever expected.

A quiet laugh escaped you, though your eyes glistened with emotion. “You don’t have to be alone in this, Jay,” you whispered, your thumb brushing gently over his knuckles. “I’m not going anywhere.”

Jason let out a shaky breath, his walls finally crumbling. His eyes closed for a moment, and when they opened again, there was something softer, almost broken, in his expression. He reached out slowly, his hand covering yours, as if afraid that if he moved too quickly, you’d disappear.

“I don’t deserve you,” he whispered, his voice thick with emotion. “Not after everything.”

You shook your head, leaning closer. “That’s not for you to decide.”

For the first time in a long while, Jason allowed himself to believe it—to believe that maybe, just maybe, he didn’t have to do this alone. That maybe you were the one thing he hadn’t known he was missing, the one person who made him feel whole again.

He pulled you close, wrapping his arms around you, his forehead resting against yours. The world outside was still dark and dangerous, full of enemies and battles to be fought. But in this moment, it didn’t matter.

Because in this moment, Jason Todd wasn’t Red Hood, and you weren’t just another person who’d end up walking away.

You were the piece that made him feel like maybe, just maybe, he could find peace.

U.S. Air Force officer and F-16 pilot is crowned Miss America in 2024

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 01/16/2024 - 08:27 in Military

Madison Marsh of Colorado defeated 50 other Miss America competitors representing the 50 states and the District of Columbia on Sunday, thus taking the crown. The 22-year-old, second-teent of the U.S. Air Force, is the first active military to win the competition.

Before his decisive victory, Marsh, a native of Arkansas, said that the pomp "really relates a lot to the military because you are serving, but in a different way".

“When I wear my uniform, I serve and represent our country,” Marsh said. "When I put on the crown and the band, I'm serving, representing my community."

The USAF quickly congratulated her, noting that "Marsh is currently pursuing her master's degree in public policy at Harvard Kennedy School through the Civil Institution Program of the Air Force Institute of Technology, which falls under Air University".

The Air Force added the hashtag "AimHigh".

Marsh is attending Harvard Kennedy School with a Harry S. scholarship. Truman. She credits the Air Force Academy, where she graduated in physics, with the help to turn her into a leading candidate.

“I don't think I would have entered Harvard if I hadn't gone to the Air Force Academy,” Marsh told Crimson. "I think I would never have become Miss Colorado without the Air Force Academy, because they trained me and improved my leadership."

Earlier this month, the Air Force Academy shared photos of Marsh, who obtained his pilot license at the age of 16, next to a glider, with the caption: "From the flight line to the spotlight". During the talent part of the finals of the competition on Sunday, Marsh recalled the joy and suspense of his first solo flight.

Before studying at Harvard Kennedy School, Marsh worked as an intern at Harvard Medical School, looking for ways to use artificial intelligence to detect pancreatic cancer, and as an intern at NASA, researching gamma-ray explosions, according to Miss Colorado.

In addition to his studies, Marsh is also a black belt in taekwondo.

After his victory, Marsh wrote in an Instagram post: "My mother - this is all for you".

Marsh founded the Whitney Marsh Foundation after his mother succumbed to pancreatic cancer in 2018. As president of the foundation, she raised more than $250,000 for cancer research.

Marsh, previously crowned Miss Colorado in 2023, indicated that she intends to apply her knowledge to cancer research and apply it to her political diploma, “trying to translate them to ensure that we are enacting policies that are equitable for all patients.”

The crown comes with a $60,000 scholarship and an opportunity to travel through the U.S. as a Miss America ambassador.

The mayor of Colorado Springs, Yemi Mobolade, noted in the X: "Madison, @CityofCOS wishes you great success. You inspired countless girls to dream big and reach the stars. Congratulations!"
