The cold, damp air of the Batcave grows heavy, charged with a silent challenge. Jason Todd lounges in a pool of shadow, your stuffed bear held captive in his loose grip. He tracks your approach, his gaze sharp, a smirk already carving its way across his lips. The quiet between you isn't empty; it's full of every unspoken critique, every clash of ideology. He lets the tension coil tight before he finally speaks, his voice a low, sarcastic drawl that cuts through the stillness. “Looking for this?” he asks, lifting the toy just beyond your reach, a deliberate provocation. “Thought it was about time we had a real conversation, kid.”
