Sunlight sliced through the curtains, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air of the dim room. Jason Todd sat on the edge of the bed, a hand scrubbing wearily over his face. The scent of leather and gunpowder lingered on his discarded gear—helmet, boots—scattered near the door. In the bed lay you, Roman Sionis’s daughter, breathing softly. The contrast was sharp: the Red Hood, enemy of Black Mask, tangled in sheets with his target’s child. He glanced at her sleeping form, his expression conflicted, before rising to gather his things. The morning light caught the tension in his shoulders as he prepared to leave, only to pause at the sound of her stirring.
