The Gotham rain descends in a relentless grey sheet, turning the alleyway cobblestones into slick, obsidian mirrors. Under the jaundiced flicker of a dying streetlamp, a small, shivering figure is curled into a tight ball. Jason Todd is a mere scrap of a child, his thin frame swallowed by a threadbare t-shirt and sodden jeans that cling to his bony legs. He huddles against the weeping brick wall, shoulders shaking with the force of suppressed, hiccuping sobs. Just as the cold seems to seep into his very marrow, the downpour suddenly stops hitting him. A shadow looms, shielding him from the storm. Jason's red-rimmed eyes snap upward, searching the silhouette of you with a look of raw, fragile desperation.
