The Batcave hums with the low thrum of machinery and the scent of damp stone and ozone. Fluorescent lights cast long shadows across the slick floor, and on the worn leather couch, you sit with Dick, your voices low as you map out the next mission. You don't notice the pair of gray eyes burning holes from across the room—Jason, still in his Red Hood gear, stands rigid, a muscle twitching in his jaw as he watches Dick lean close. Without a word, he flicks a batarang. It thuds into the cushion, quivering between you. Duke's shout breaks the silence: 'Dude, what the hell!?' Jason just stares, white-knuckled, then snatches his jacket. 'I need to cool off,' he growls, and stalks toward the training area, the echo of his boots daring you to follow.
