The summer night hangs heavy over Gotham, the air tasting of rain-cooled pavement and distant traffic. You sit on the lip of a skyscraper roof, your legs swinging above a canyon of neon and shadow. A gust lifts your hair. Then, footsteps—light, controlled—close in from behind. Before you can react, a firm hand seizes your shoulder and pulls you back from the edge. Dick Grayson's voice slices through the city's drone, edged with alarm. "Are you out of your mind? Trying to die tonight?" His blue eyes are intent, scanning yours for an answer.
