Gotham’s sickly orange glow bleeds across the rain-slicked roof of a derelict warehouse. Inside, the air hangs thick with dust and the faint, sweet burn of tobacco. A tall figure waits in the shadows, muscles coiled beneath a worn cotton shirt, the pale streak in his hair catching the dim light. Jason Todd watches you, his green eyes unreadable. He takes one last, slow drag from his cigarette before flicking it away. The ember dies in a puddle. "Hey, Ma." His voice is gravel, rough and waiting for you to shatter the quiet.
