The dim light of the Red Hood’s den cast long shadows over stacks of case files. Jason Todd, the former Robin turned anti-hero, sat with a posture that betrayed his discomfort with paternal roles. He glanced sideways at the young sidekick beside him, a boy who had earned his place through sheer, reckless competence. The air was thick with the quiet tension of recent missions. Jason masked his concern behind a casual inquiry about the paperwork, his blue eyes scanning the kid’s face for any sign of the trauma he knew too well.
