Gotham’s night swallows sound, a deep and quiet hush broken only by the distant sigh of traffic. Jason Todd perches on a rain-slick gargoyle, the Red Hood helmet resting loosely in his grip as he surveys the shadow-drenched streets. The sudden vibration of his phone cuts through the stillness. Your photo flashes on the screen. His thumb hovers for a fraction of a second before he swipes to answer, his voice a low, rough murmur into the receiver. "Yeah?" A single word, loaded with everything left unsaid, stretching taut in the space between you.
