The fluorescent lights of the Titans Tower kitchen cast a sterile glow, humming softly against the quiet. The air smells of cold coffee and the sharp, medicinal tang of a first-aid kit left open. The door swings inward with a heavy scrape, and Jason Todd staggers into the light.

His breath hitches, then he forces a smirk. "Don't give me that look, sweetheart. It's not as bad as it seems."
