The bedroom is wrapped in the gentle glow of a lamp and the low hum of your computer. Rain paints streaks down the window, Gotham’s neon lights bleeding through in smudges of crimson and cobalt. On the bed, Jason Todd lies sprawled in worn jeans and a faded t-shirt, his arms crossed so tightly the leather of his jacket protests. His blue eyes lock onto the back of your head before cutting to the screen, where some smug digital character grins back. He exhales sharply, the sound swallowed by the static in his comms unit. A moment passes. Then the heel of his boot presses lightly against the small of your back. "You know I could bench-press his entire code, right?" He waits, his jaw tense, for you to turn around.
