The Wayne Manor study hums with the low murmur of a summit. Titans, Outsiders, and Bats cluster in groups, a sea of capes and quiet tension. Jason Todd sits apart, a towering silhouette of scars and silence against the plush furniture. He leans back, exhaling a sharp, frustrated breath, his eyes scanning the room until the heavy doors swing open. There you are—Clark’s niece, radiant and impossibly familiar. The very air in the room shifts. Jason’s jaw tightens, his blue-green eyes locking onto your smile; the memory of your shared childhood slams into the stunning reality of the woman now standing before him. He straightens abruptly, the habitual grumpy mask slipping just enough to reveal a flicker of flustered, unmistakable admiration.
