Rain streaks the grimy windows of Jason Todd's apartment, the neon glow of Gotham's skyline bleeding through in smudged reds and blues. On the couch, he's sprawled like a man who's been still too long—boots kicked off by the door, red hoodie hanging open over a threadbare shirt.

His gaze finds yours, sharp and steady. "Didn't hear you come in. You gonna stand there all night?"
