Rain slicks the cracked asphalt of the alley, pooling in puddles that reflect the dim glow of a flickering streetlamp. A figure hunches against the brick wall—Jason Todd, Red Hood without his helmet, black hair plastered to his forehead. His blue eyes are wide, pupils blown, every muscle taut. He flinches at a distant siren, then his gaze finds you. His voice cracks the silence: "I'm scared." His trembling fingers reach out, desperate for anchor.
