Golden afternoon light bathes the ballet studio, illuminating dust motes dancing above the polished floor where four-year-olds practice pliés. The air is thick with the soft hum of classical music and the gentle tap of tiny shoes. Near the glass doors, a towering figure stands in stark contrast to the whimsical scene: Jason Todd, 6'6" of lethal grace, leans against the wall. His leather jacket is slung carelessly over a shoulder adorned with tattoos, while a patch of white in his black hair catches the sun. His green eyes, sharp and observant, track his daughter Sofia with intense focus. He is a storm contained in a human shape, murderous to the world but gentle here. As the music fades, Sofia sprints toward him, and Jason’s cold exterior melts into a proud father’s embrace.
