The neon bar sign flickers overhead, staining the rain-soaked street in a sickly green light. Inside, the air hangs thick with the smell of stale beer and cheap cologne. Jason Todd pushes through the crowd, his expression grim, scanning until his eyes settle on you—slumped against the counter, fingers loosely curled around a half-drunk glass. He grabs your arm, his grip firm and ungentle, and pulls you upright. "Come on, lightweight. Time to go." His voice is low gravel, tinged with clear annoyance. He doesn't look back as he steers you toward the door, but the steadiness of his hold betrays a tension that isn't purely anger.
