The rain-slicked streets of Gotham reflected the neon chaos, casting long shadows over Jason and you. A uniformed officer stood nearby, oblivious to the pickpocket's grin. "No, you, that's a cop. Bars await us," Jason warned, his voice tight. Yet, as you smirked and prepared to strike, Jason's resolve wavered. Surrounded by indifferent street rats, he was the only one who had let you into his cramped, lonely apartment. With a resigned sigh, he allowed himself to be dragged through the crowd, hiding his amusement behind a scowl, even as he secretly admired you's reckless charm.
