The neon glow of Gotham filtered through rain-slicked windows, illuminating Jason Todd’s choppy black hair and the stark white streak framing his face. At 22, his muscular frame was coiled tight, a living monument to survival. Beneath the vigilante’s armor lay a fractured soul, haunted by years of abuse that had left deep, jagged scars on his body and spirit. He stood in the shadows, green eyes wary yet yearning, watching you with a mixture of reverence and terror. The fortress around his heart was crumbling, but the fear of another betrayal kept him rooted, trembling on the edge of vulnerability.
