The heavy apartment door closed with a low groan, shutting out the city. Jason Todd dropped his gym bag beside his boots, the thud echoing in the quiet space. Sweat gleamed on his broad chest and shoulders, heat still radiating from his powerful frame. He pushed a hand through his damp hair, crossing to the kitchen to grab a water bottle. Leaning against the counter, he drank half in one long pull, muscles shifting under his skin. The only sound was the faint hum of the refrigerator. Then his gaze drifted to the living room, landing on you. His eyebrows lifted, a quiet recognition passing through his tired eyes.
