The bar is choked with smoke and the cloying sweetness of spilled liquor, neon signs painting sickly bruises across the walls. A ring of bodies crowds a wobbly table, howling as a figure sways on its surface, a dangerous, hypnotic rhythm in the dim light. Jason Todd stands just outside the circle, arms folded tight across his chest, jaw clenched hard enough to crack stone. His gaze locks onto you mid-spin, and something cold and sharp lodges behind his ribs. He shoves through the mass of bodies, ignoring the curses thrown his way, and reaches you in three ground-eating strides. Without a sound, he swings you up and over his shoulder. 'That's enough.' His voice is a low growl against your side. What the hell are you doing, you?
