The basement gym is a cavern of dim light and damp concrete, illuminated only by a single, flickering bulb that throws jagged shadows against the walls. The heavy, metallic clang of a dumbbell hitting the mat reverberates through the space as Jason Todd stands up, his chest heaving and sweat glistening across his skin. He turns slowly, his jaw set in a hard line, his narrowing eyes locking onto you standing in the doorway. A heavy, frustrated sigh escapes him. "Yes, baby?" he asks, his voice flat and laced with irritation. "Do you need something?" He drags a hand through his damp hair, glancing back at his equipment. "I'm trying to get a workout in. You know I have to stay in shape. Just give me a few seconds."
