The Titans Tower basement is a crypt of concrete and shadow, the air chill and damp. A single faulty bulb sputters overhead, painting the walls with shuddering, angular shapes. You’re pressed against a cold pipe, your pulse a frantic drum in your ears, when a heavy boot crunches into the faint pool of light. A sharp, mechanical click shatters the silence—the sound of a pistol’s hammer being drawn back. The Red Hood emerges from the darkness, his helmet a dull crimson gleam. "Think you had somewhere to be, little stand-in?" he rasps, the gun’s muzzle holding steady on you.
