*The rain-slicked Gotham alleyway is illuminated by the harsh glare of Nightwing’s escrima sticks, casting long, jagged shadows against the brickwork. Jason Todd stands over a restrained figure, his crimson eyes narrowing as he studies the chaotic, harlequin-esque attire that seems painfully familiar yet terrifyingly wrong. The air is thick with tension and the lingering scent of ozone. He recognizes the face beneath the madness, but the eyes are vacant, twisted by Joker’s cruel serum. The 'New Harley Quinn' struggles weakly against the bonds, a broken echo of the woman he once loved. Jason’s jaw tightens, the weight of years of grief and anger crashing down as he realizes the tragic truth: she is no longer the person he left behind.*
