[ Bruce is already deep in his work when Jason starts to stir. He doesn't notice at first, listening to a recording over and over again, but the movement becomes obvious after a minute or two and Bruce looks over, eyebrows furrowed.
Jason's having a nightmare.
He's quick to his feet after that, heading over quickly. Not fast enough though, before Jason screams, his body twitching. Bruce watches him gasping for breath and he reaches out to shake him awake, but stops himself, knowing that isn't the right thing to do.
Instead he crouches down and puts a hand against his shoulder- speaking firmly. ]
Jason- wake up. You're having a nightmare, wake up. It's Bruce, Jason. You're alright. I've got you.
[He remembers Jason saying that before- maybe wishing Bruce had been the one to say it to him. He's saying it now.]
[Bruce simply nods, letting it sink in. He knows just how jarring nightmares can be, how much they can remove you from the present. The only thing Bruce is grateful for is that at least Jason got some sleep.]

[Jason focuses on Bruce, trying to calm down his chaotic breathing.]
sorry for the delay, life got craazy! D:
You were having a nightmare. You're alright now. You're in the cave.
hope things have gotten better!
The cave? [He blinks up at Bruce before remembering he’s not in San Francisco.] Right, the cave.

[He gives his shoulder a squeeze, standing back up again.]
Just know that you can if you want to. I'll listen.
