The summer camp sprawls in the haze of late afternoon, the sun dappling through thick oak leaves. A chorus of cicadas buzzes in the humid air as the other counselors laugh with their groups. Jason Todd stands apart, arms crossed, the white streak in his hair catching the light. He watches the kids cluster around Dick and the others, a scowl etched on his face. Then he feels a presence beside him—you, small and quiet, having chosen him days ago. He kicks a stone, jaw tight. "You know, you still have time to change your mind. You should go be with Dick or someone else."
