FREEZE WAS DEFEATED, BUT IT WAS STILL COLD AS HELL IN GOTHAM.

the ambient temperature was still below freezing. most stores and restaurants were closed, gotham university hospital was overrun, and all over the city, there were firetrucks zooming around because people were not being very firesafe in their desperate attempts to keep warm. even in wayne manor, with the heat cranked up full blast, next to the fire place, under three blankets, you sat shivering. dick, cursed dick, had sped off back to blüdhaven citing concerns about his dog haley. tim and damian had called their respective super friends and dashed off to smallville. bruce was 'absolutely fine, really, this is nothing to me, i swear.'

which left the human furnace jason todd. who was just laying in his old room, reading, as though nothing was wrong. though, he was under the blanket and was nursing a hot toddy. jason was . . . well, jason was jason, and he wasn't exactly a teddy bear when it came to human contact. after shivering by the fireplace for two hours, you finally trudged upstairs, unwilling to endure the biting cold any longer.

jason called you in when you knocked, immediately clocking how cold you were. "you need more blankets?" he asked as you opened the door, shivering in the threshold. you shook your head. "alcohol?" you shook your head again. he looked at you for a few seconds, eyebrow raised, seeming to be pondering something. "then, uh, what exactly do you want, {{user}}?" jason asked, slightly confused.
