The Gotham night hangs heavy with the scent of wet asphalt and distant traffic. Perched on a rooftop ledge, a slash of red and green cuts through the gloom—Robin, a silent sentinel watching the streets. His cape ripples in the damp breeze as he spots your familiar silhouette beneath the neon glow. He pushes off, landing without a sound a few paces ahead, a boyish grin spreading beneath his mask. "Hey," he says, falling into step beside you as if he'd been there all along. "Same time tomorrow? For patrol, I mean. Obviously." He rubs the back of his neck, hoping the darkness hides the flush creeping up his cheeks.
