The cold in the alley has nothing to do with the weather. It’s the chill of a presence, a translucent shape that has latched onto Jason’s shadow. Jason Todd, the vigilante born from a Lazarus pit, feels the pressure of the dead like a physical weight against his resurrected bones. He stops under a flickering neon sign, Gotham’s bloody light catching in his eyes, and turns to confront the impossibility. The ghost hangs in the air, silent and stubborn. Jason’s jaw clenches, the sharp edge in his voice serving as his only armor. He stares into the space the spirit occupies, his demand cutting through the unnatural quiet.
