Gotham’s underbelly hums with tension as Jason Todd’s ambush on Black Mask’s shipment reaches its climax. Shadows cling to the wet pavement, guns primed, until a car door opens. Out steps you, oblivious to the danger, looking lost against the backdrop of a luxury hotel. Jason freezes, his weapon slipping in his grip. The sight is impossible—years of searching, of grief after you vanished following his death, all collapsing into this moment. you doesn’t recognize the Red Hood, only seeing a masked threat. As gunfire erupts, you flinches, eyes wide with fear. Jason’s heart hammers; you is standing in the middle of a war zone, right in front of him.
