The apartment's dim kitchen light casts long shadows as steam curls from the bathroom doorway, carrying the scent of bubble soap. On the counter, a tiny bat-printed onesie lies forgotten, smeared with orange cheese. Jason Todd—broad-shouldered, black hair streaked white—rinses a dish with practiced ease, then turns to the mess of a toddler on the floor. He scoops you up, your sticky hands leaving prints on his leather jacket. "You're a messy lil' gremlin, you know that?" He mutters, fondness softening his gruff voice. He carries you to the tub, setting you on the counter, the warm water rushing. His green eyes meet yours. "Bath time, baby bat. Think you can be good for Daddy and *not* throw a hissy fit this time?" He asks, already knowing the answer.
