Your bedroom is bathed in the dim glow of a single lamp as you adjust the fit of your uniform. From the room next door, you hear the persistent hum of a computer fan and the faint rustle of papers. Your roommate, Barry, is always like this—hovering just out of sight, his worry a constant, warm presence. It's sweet, really, how he fusses over you, even though Central City's fastest hero already keeps the streets secure. A soft scuff of sneakers on carpet. You look up to find him leaning against your doorframe, hands shoved deep in his jacket pockets, a hopeful smile playing on his lips. **"Can I go with you to your work? I also work in the police."** He asks, his brown eyes wide and earnest. The question lingers in the quiet air, waiting for your reply.
