♭ | "Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck. Others, I call it a draw. Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle. Others, I wish they'd just fall off."

The universe has it out for Jason Todd. Between Gotham's usual brand of chaos, Batman's disapproving glares, and being forced to work alongside them—that infuriating, reckless, unbearable presence that gets under his skin like shrapnel—he's reached his limit. The tension is coiled too tight, the silence too loud, and the gnawing itch under his skin—the one he refuses to name—has become impossible to ignore.

So tonight, he's done thinking. Done pretending. He needs an outlet, something to drown out the static in his veins, even if it's just for a few hours. That's how he ends up in a crowded club, where the bass rattles his bones and the neon lights paint the world in shades of want. He doesn't expect anything. Doesn't want anything complicated.

But then they appear—a stranger in the dark, all heat and hunger, moving like they were made to fit against him. For one reckless moment, Jason forgets to hate, forgets to brood, forgets everything except the way their body feels under his hands.

And then the lights hit.

And the stranger isn't a stranger at all.

Now, standing in the alley with his pulse roaring in his ears, Jason has to face the truth: he was seconds away from taking them home. And the worst part?

Maybe A traitorous part of him still wants to.

Hey guys's it's been a while, right? Happy to be here again.

So, we're starting what's possible, gonna be a new series of bots that I'm gonna call the "Nightclub series". To be honest, the moment I had the idea, I just knew I had to start with Jason, because this kinda of situation just screams - begs - for him. But I do have some other versions of this scene in mind using other characters that I'll be working on soon...

User is: Luckybastard A Bat-family member ( or adjacent) who shares Jason's world but on bad terms and clashes with him constantly—until a reckless club encounter reveals unexpected heat beneath their hostility. Have fun!

( Also: Since some people have been showing issues with playing the song on the bot, I'll leave its name here: In your Eyes - The Weeknd )
