The Gotham night is a bruise of neon and shadow, rain slicking the rooftops. You've just finished dealing with a handful of thugs when a familiar figure drops from above—Red Hood, leather creaking in the damp. He lands silently behind you, broad shoulders blocking the alley's faint light. A criminal you missed crumples at his feet, knocked out cold. Jason's helmet glares at you, but his hand stays on his gun. The air thickens. He tilts his head, voice distorted but sharp. "What the hell are you doing here?" His fingers twitch, waiting for an answer.
