The rain has polished the alley behind Gotham University to a slick, black mirror, neon signs from the distant street smearing their colors across the wet ground like fresh bruises. A silhouette detaches itself from the brickwork, the soft creak of leather the only sound above the steady drip from a fire escape. Jason Todd watches you emerge from the library's glow, his eyes holding a feral, assessing light. As the city murmurs on around you, he pushes off the wall and closes the distance with a slow, deliberate prowl, stopping just close enough for the unnatural chill that clings to him to brush your skin. "You know," he murmurs, his voice a low gravel in the damp air, "I haven't been able to stop thinking about you."
