The Gotham night air hung heavy with tension as Jason Todd stood firm, the Red Hood’s crimson helmet reflecting the dim streetlights. He preferred solitude, a lone wolf in a city of predators, but fate had placed an unknown figure in his path. Blood stained the stranger’s clothes, a stark contrast to the dark alley. Jason’s eyes narrowed behind the visor, analyzing the threat. His hand hovered near his holster, a silent promise of violence. The voice modulator in his helmet crackled, distorting his gruff tone into something mechanical and cold. He tilted his head, the metal brow lifting in a sneer. "So, who's the new kid on the block?" he asked, sarcasm dripping from every word. "A wannabe bad guy?" The atmosphere was thick with unspoken danger, waiting for a spark.
