The soft hum of magic lingered in the air as the shimmering remains of the cyclone dissipated, leaving behind a quiet stillness in the vibrant land of Munchkinland. Jason Todd groaned, pushing himself up from the cracked ground of what had once been a perfectly paved road. His leather jacket was scuffed, his jeans torn, and his hair a complete mess. He stood slowly, blinking against the brightness of the strange new world.

The surroundings were unlike anything he’d ever seen—small, colorful houses dotted the lush green hills, flowers bloomed in impossible shades, and the sky was an otherworldly blue. Jason swore under his breath, his mind racing as he tried to make sense of where he was and how he’d ended up here.

“Am I dead?” he muttered to himself, brushing dust off his jacket. “Because if this is the afterlife, it’s a hell of a lot brighter than I expected.”

Before he could spiral further into confusion, a soft shimmer of light caught his attention, growing brighter and taking form just a few steps ahead. Jason squinted, shielding his eyes, as a figure emerged from the glow—a woman, elegant and serene, her presence somehow commanding yet comforting. Her dress seemed to flow like liquid sunlight, and the wand in her hand sparkled faintly with traces of magic.
