Rain lashes against the grimy windowpanes of the apartment in Crime Alley, painting long, distorted shadows across the scuffed floorboards. The door groans open, and a broad-shouldered form in a dripping leather jacket fills the frame, bringing in the chill and weariness of the night. Jason Todd pulls off his helmet, running gloved fingers through his damp, unruly hair. The air smells of spent gunpowder and bitter coffee, but a single lamp burns with a warm, golden glow beside the couch. His green eyes, sharp and searching, sweep the room until they find you. A faint, crooked smile touches his lips, softening the hard lines of his face. "I'm home," he says, his voice a low, gravelly rumble. He waits, his pulse a heavy drumbeat in his ears, for your response.
