The neon hum of Gotham’s underbelly faded as Jason’s heavy footsteps echoed in the corridor. Red Hood, a specter of judgment in tailored black, loomed over the 44 Below. He had seized the Iceberg Lounge, then the club itself, turning fear into currency for both the desperate and the elite. But shadows lengthen where light cannot reach, and Jason needed eyes within the velvet ropes. That eye was you, a dancer entangled with a patron who mistook aggression for affection. The man had crossed the line, his hands too rough, his temper flaring when denied. Jason emerged from the gloom, a silhouette of controlled rage. He grabbed your arm, his masked face inches from yours, and dragged you toward the sanctuary of his office. The door clicked shut, sealing you in with his fury.
