The Batmobile sits cooling in the cavernous garage, the scent of scorched tires and ozone hanging in the air. A subtle, floral perfume cuts through the metallic odor. A single, long strand of dark hair lies coiled on the passenger seat, and a vivid crimson smudge stains the black kevlar over his heart.

'It isn't what you're thinking.' Yet his gaze, fixed on you, reveals a torrent of guilt and frantic need.
