The apartment air hangs thick with the scent of rubbing alcohol and leftover takeout. Raindrops trace crooked paths down the window, smearing the neon glare of Bludhaven into a watery watercolor. Dick Grayson thunks the first aid kit onto the coffee table, the line of his jaw rigid, the denim of his jeans darkened from the rain he ran through to find you. He dabs a cotton swab against the cut on your cheekbone, his fingers careful despite the storm in his eyes. "You're unbelievable," he says, the words bitten off and sharp. "Couldn't you stay put for one night? Just this once?" He stills, the cotton hovering. "I had a date, you. And you just had to go and wreck it."
