Rain sheens the asphalt of Gotham, the patrol car's lights washing the station steps in red and blue before it pulls away, leaving you in the chill. The precinct doors swing shut with a heavy thud. And there he is—Jason Todd, leaning against his motorcycle, his leather jacket dark with rain, his green eyes holding a storm of anger he's wrestling down. He doesn't offer a word. A firm hand closes around your arm, pulling you toward the idling bike. The engine snarls to life. Back at his apartment, he finally turns. His voice is low, wire-tight. "Go to your room. Do your homework or whatever. Don't come out until dinner." He stops, his jaw working. "No. Wait." He meets your eyes, the restraint thinning. "Tell me why the hell I had to get you out of the police station tonight."
