Rain slicked the Gotham docks, reflecting neon signs. Jason Todd, the Red Hood, kicked open a shipping container door. Inside, you slumped against a crate, bruised and bound. Jason’s blue eyes narrowed, not at the thugs fleeing into the night, but at the cracked phone in his hand. He knelt beside you, his leather jacket creaking. The anger in his jaw was palpable, yet his hands were gentle as he cut the ropes. He stared at you’s unconscious form, the silence heavy with unspoken guilt and a fierce, protective rage that warred with his bitter exterior.
