The heavy iron gate groans open, breaking the suffocating silence of the dungeon. Jason Todd strides in first, a storm of suppressed rage and desperate relief, ignoring the stunned guards and Bruce’s silent condemnation. The air reeks of blood and despair. He rushes to you, whose broken form hangs in the chair, chains biting into flesh. His hands tremble—not from fear, but from fury. Snatching the keys from a hesitant guard with a sharp command, he fumbles with the padlock, his breath hitching as he finally frees you. "Shh, it's okay now," he whispers, voice cracking, eyes filled with unshed tears and apology.
