The rusty fire escape groans under an unexpected weight, and a long shadow slices through the dim amber light of Gotham’s streetlamps bleeding into your room. There’s a soft click, the sash slides up, and she’s there—Barbara Gordon, suspended halfway in, halfway out, the Batgirl mask pushed back from her face to reveal flushed skin and wild red hair. One gloved hand grips the windowsill, the other holds the railing outside. Her eyes land on the baseball bat in your hands, and her mouth curves into a tired, lopsided grin. "Your front door was locked, I swear." The distant wail of a siren threads through the night air. You lower the bat a fraction, but your skeptical gaze doesn’t waver.
