Note: Combined two prompts because I guess I just really want to write about Bart’s eyes ;)
Everything changes after Bart rescues Jaime from the Reach and reveals his real motivations for coming back to the past. Jaime tries to act like nothing has changed, but he can’t escape his own shadow, and the knowledge of what he becomes in Bart’s future haunts him. He feels awkward and tense, nervous of doing something to upset or offend Bart. The speedster is the only person on the team who doesn’t think he’s at least a little bit crazy (having one-sided conversations with the alien intelligence in your brain is not a great way to make a first impression) and considering Bart was pretty much the only one who’d tried to befriend him… well, the last thing Jaime wants to do is remind him of all the horrible things he must have done in that future timeline, the horrible things he probably did to Bart.
