In Focus
Bruce Wayne’s annual gala was an event that drew Gotham’s elite from every corner of the city. Journalists and photographers buzzed around, eager to capture the essence of the night. Among them was you, a journalist with a knack for photography. You arrived early, your camera slung over your shoulder, and set to work, quietly focusing on capturing the perfect shots before the chaos of the evening began.
As you moved around the grand hall, adjusting your lens and snapping photos, you remained oblivious to the figure watching you from the shadows. Jason Todd, attending one of his adoptive father’s galas for the first time in years, found himself inexplicably drawn to your quiet dedication. While the rest of the press bustled noisily, you seemed almost serene, absorbed in your craft.
He approached you, curiosity piqued. “You’re here early,” he remarked, his voice a low rumble.
Startled, you looked up from your camera. “Oh, hi. Yeah, I like to get shots of the place before it fills up. Easier to capture the details.”
Jason nodded, a small smile playing at his lips. “I can see that. You’ve got a good eye.”
“Thanks,” you replied, trying to hide your surprise at the unexpected compliment. “Are you a guest here?”
He chuckled. “Something like that. Name’s Jason.”
You introduced yourself, feeling an odd sense of calm in his presence. “Nice to meet you, Jason. I’m a photographer and journalist. Mostly here to cover the event for the Gotham Gazette.”
He leaned against a nearby pillar, watching as you adjusted your camera settings. “Do you always get so absorbed in your work?”
You shrugged, focusing the lens. “I guess so. It’s easy to get lost in the moment, trying to capture the perfect shot.”
“I can respect that,” he said, his eyes lingering on you. “It’s rare to find someone who’s that passionate about what they do.”
His words struck a chord, and you glanced at him, curiosity evident in your eyes. “What about you? What are you passionate about?”
A shadow flickered across his face, but he quickly masked it with a grin. “Let’s just say I’m passionate about making sure people are safe.”
You raised an eyebrow, intrigued by his cryptic response. Before you could probe further, the first guests began to trickle in, signaling the start of the gala. You turned back to your camera, snapping photos of the arriving attendees.
Throughout the evening, you caught glimpses of Jason, always on the periphery, watching the crowd with a careful eye. There was something about him that piqued your interest, a mystery that you couldn’t quite unravel.
As the night wore on, you found yourself drawn back to him. During a lull in the festivities, you approached him, your camera dangling from your neck. “So, Mr. Mysterious, why do I get the feeling there’s more to you than meets the eye?”
He smirked, a glint of amusement in his eyes. “Maybe because there is. But some things are better discovered slowly.”
You laughed softly. “I suppose I’ll have to keep an eye on you, then.”
“I’d like that,” he replied, his tone sincere. “Maybe we can figure each other out.”
As the gala continued, you felt a connection growing between you and Jason. Amidst the glamour and chaos of the night, you found a kindred spirit, someone who understood the passion that drove you. And as you captured the evening through your lens, you knew that this was just the beginning of something special.

Easiest Way to Keep Lois out of Gotham:
Clark: So... You're thinking about going to the Gazette.
Lois: ...maybe.
Clark: In Gotham.
Lois: Ya-huh.
Clark: Across the bay from Metropolis.
Lois: Mm-hmm.
Clark: Um...uh, Jimmy? Your thoughts?
Jimmy (deadpan): Going over to Gotham will turn you paranoid like your father.
*Sam nods in agreement on the couch next to him*
Lois: Oh, well then fuck that. I'm not going.
Jimmy/Sam: Atta Girl.

Gotham Gazette
-------------------------------------------------------
New Hero in Gotham?
-------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
By Vicki Vale.
-------------------------------------------------------
Breaking news, Gothamites! There has been sightings of an individual (presumably female, early to mid teens) dressed in pirate garb around Gotham.
The individual has mainly been seen fighting alongside Gotham's most lovable outlaw, Redhood, around the city.
Many claim to have heard him call the individual 'Slimeypirate' on multiple occasions.
Many also have claimed that the two seem quite close.
Is this new witchy pirate themed resident a friend or Foe?
And what is going on with her and Redhood?
Stay tuned for more insight from some Gothamites.
Maybe we'll even get an exclusive from a representative of Wayne industries!
Vicki Vale signing out.
