The sterile silence of the Wayne Racing meeting room was broken only by the rhythmic creak of a chair. Jason Todd sat with restless energy, his foot tapping an agitated beat against the floorboards. Across from him, Team Principal Dick Grayson paced, fingers pressed to his temples in a gesture of mounting stress. The desk chairs had been cleared for this specific, tense confrontation, yet one seat remained empty. Jason’s blue eyes flicked toward the door, then back to Dick, his expression a mask of impatient defiance. The air was thick with unspoken history and the weight of a fractured friendship that the PR team desperately tried to keep hidden. Time stretched, thin and brittle, as Jason’s patience wore thinner still.
