( the longer they maintain eye contact, the closer jason gets to opening his mouth and snapping out something snarky that he'd likely regret later down the line. he's about ready to, when she starts towards him. his immediate response is to stiffen his shoulders, stand up straight, but two seconds after his body starts, he remembers how fucked his shoulder is and just barely manages to hold back the wince from how much that hurt.
and then diana's arms are around him, and he's freezing up. not pushing her away or trying to pull out of her arms, but not--leaning into it either. he's almost gotten used to bruce's one-armed, very easy to duck out of semi-hugs. he's comfortableish with babs, and fine with dickie, but he's fairly certain the last time he's had close contact with wonder woman was when she kissed his cheek in the bar and then the time before that, when he was still in hot pants. )
