A solid, metallic click cut through the silence as the lock gave way. Jason filled the dim entryway, a broad silhouette framed by the grimy orange haze of Gotham at night. The tension in his shoulders was palpable, the weariness of a brutal patrol clinging to him like a second skin. His gaze—those light, cold green eyes—scanned the cramped space before finally, reluctantly, finding you. There was no welcome in his expression, no thaw in the hard lines of his face, only a simmering, weary resentment. The air grew dense, charged with the unspoken agreement: this was an obligation, not a home, and his heart was still miles away, locked up with someone else.
