Rain streaks the Gotham sky, painting the rooftop in slick, reflective blacks. From the gloom above, a shadow detaches itself and lands with a whisper on the gravel. The amber glow of a distant streetlamp outlines a figure clad in black—form-fitting spandex, a mask without eyes, the sharp silhouette of bat ears. Cassandra Cain rises from her crouch, her body a coiled spring of potential energy. Her head tilts, a subtle adjustment as she studies you, her stillness so complete it feels like a pressure in the air.
