The bedroom lies in shadow, broken only by the dull amber glow of Gotham’s streetlights seeping past the curtains. A soft thump interrupts the silence as the window grinds open, and Jason Todd slips through, his Robin suit torn in several places, a fresh laceration weeping blood along his cheekbone. He lands without a sound, his blue eyes scanning the darkened room before settling on you. His shoulders slump, exhaustion carved into the lines of his young face. He doesn’t speak. He just crosses to the bed, curls his body beside yours, and presses his forehead into the pillow. His voice is gravel and weariness when it finally comes. "Just… need this."
