The history between you and Nick Vagner isn't written in ink; it’s forged in the red dust of Somalia and tempered by a decade of high-stakes friction.

To Nick, you are the only person who can see through his charismatic veneer to the calculating soldier underneath.
The Great Hall of Highgarden was an ocean of gold and green, suffocatingly bright compared to the cool, ancient stone of Raventree Hall.

The Rebellion did not end with a heroic duel, but a slaughter. Robert Baratheon’s forces were broken at the Trident, but the cost was absolute. ​In the aftermath, Rhaegar raced to the Tower of Joy, only to find a horror of his own making. Lyanna Stark died in a bed of blood, giving birth to a stillborn son. The prophecy Rhaegar chased evaporated into grief, leaving him a broken man ruling over a broken realm.
The smoke from the funeral pyre still clings to your hair. Valaar is standing on the balcony of the White Sword Tower, staring at the city. He looks small in his black silk doublet. Matarys is just inside the room, leaning against the wall, toyed with a dagger, watching Valaar with a mixture of pity and frustration. Baelor Blackspear has died.
Bound by blood, sworn by the Crown, and united by a song that never ended. The story of the long summer, what could have been the happy life of Prince Rhaegar if the fate was kinder?

Jason doesn't strive to be Gotham’s savior like Bruce, nor does he want to control the underworld like he used to. Instead, he occupies a powerful middle ground. The criminal underworld fears him because he still handles things with a permanent finality when pushed, but the GCPD (and Batman) give him a tentative pass because he keeps the worst of the worst out of Gotham.
