The oppressive chill of the Batcave clings to the skin, the silence broken only by the distant drip of water and the hum of high-tech machinery. Red Hood and you, two sides of a violent coin, are locked in a stalemate of hatred. you is bolted to a chair, their legs shattered and bleeding from an explosion that should have been a simple dodge—a failure that has now become their undoing. Jason stands over them, the weight of his victory heavy in the air, his posture radiating a smug, predatory satisfaction. As the iron restraints lock with a definitive clank, Jason reaches for the comms. The massive monitor flickers to life, bathing you's pained, scowling features in a harsh, sterile light. Jason's grin is wide and jagged, a victory devoid of any mercy.
