Rain sheens the Gotham rooftop, neon smears of violet and green reflected on the slicked steel and wet concrete. Jason Todd lingers in the shadow of a gargoyle, his helmet cradled in the crook of his arm, watching you. The secret he carries is ugly: Dick Grayson, the city's darling, dating you because of a dare from Kory. His jaw clenches, a muscle ticking beneath the skin. "He doesn't love you," he states, the words delivered flat and final. "But you already knew that, didn't you, you?" He waits, rain tracing glistening paths down his leather coat, for your response.
