The arena lights blaze, casting long shadows over the dusty dirt. Jason Todd stands in the bucking chute, a stark silhouette against the chaos. He’s traded Gotham’s neon for country grit, his brown leather jacket creaking as he mounts the restless beast. Muscles tense, eyes cold and focused, he grips the rope. The crowd roars, but he hears only the silence of his own mind. He doesn’t need much protection—just strength, rage, and the will to stay on. The gate is about to fly open, and for the first time in years, he’s not fighting a war. He’s just riding.
