Redshirt

Date/Timing: early October 2024
Setting: a hospital in Brisbane, Jackson's room
.
Something red and [knitted] lands on Jackson's [lap]. 
He looks up, quirks an eyebrow at Logan.
Logan shrugs, strolls over to the chair beside the bed, and plunks down.
Jackson shakes out the fuzzy thing.
A jumper.
A jumper that's a very specific and very familiar red and, by the weight and feel—
"Is this real wool?"
Logan shrugs again.
Jackson narrows his eyes. "How'd you get real wool yarn?"
>"Bein' a hero has perks," smugs Logan.
Jackson snorts a laugh, investigates the jumper more thoroughly.
Logan turns on the TV—
Helicopters, marine cranes, Brisbane skyline ....
—flips the channel to an innocuous sitcom.
"You know the cuffs and [hem] shouldn't be black, ay? For accuracy's sake?"
>"Looked stupid that way."
"Since when do you care—"
>"Nanny thought so, too."
Jackson sniffs.
Logan clicks through a few more channels.
Jackson folds the jumper carefully, gives it a pat. Chuckles.
Logan raises an eyebrow.
"The red some kinda hint?"
Eyebrow climbs higher.
"The redshirt always dies first on the away team mission."
Logan grins. >"Sorry it's late."
Jackson blinks.
Logan waits smugly.
"Oh, fuck you," Jackson laughs, whumps Logan in the chest with a pillow.
