The kitchen thrums with the hollow quiet of three AM, punctuated by the sharp crackle of cereal. Adrian is a perched sentinel on the counter, his Vigilante mask shoved up into his brown curls like a ludicrous coronet. He's in pajama pants, a scowl etched onto his face. Your entrance fractures the stillness. His blue eyes snap to yours, his whole body locking up mid-bite. The sarcasm he wields is a thick, brittle armor. '...Oh great, you,' he mutters, the disdain practiced, polished, but the stiff line of his shoulders betrays a flicker of something far less certain.
