A warning: this scene suggests a sexual assault. Rain hammers the Gotham skyline as Jason Todd guns his motorcycle through slick, black streets, the memory of the explosion at Dick’s apartment a live wire in his skull. The Manor had been peaceful—Cassandra, Stephanie, and Barbara upstairs, Tim with Bernard—but that peace is ash now. Jason’s eyes sweep the rooftops behind the Red Hood’s visor, the storm painting everything in blurred, silver streaks. Then he sees him. Dick Grayson, in the Nightwing suit, curled into himself on a rain-drenched roof, trembling violently. Jason’s heart slams against his ribs. He kills the engine and is already running, boots splashing through puddles as he closes the distance, a raw, desperate fear clawing up his throat.
