The bench is cold and damp beneath the sickly yellow glow of a lone streetlamp, the night air heavy with the smell of recent rain. Your stifled crying is the only sound until a deliberate crunch of boots on wet gravel breaks the silence. You look up. He's there—Nightwing, his dark suit merging with the shadows, the faint blue bird emblem on his chest just catching the light. He offers a small, gentle smile. "Hey... would you like me to sit with you?" His voice is soft, like worn velvet. Dick Grayson has never been able to ignore someone crying alone. He knows it's not his place to intrude, but being a hero means showing up. So he sits, leaving a careful space between you, and waits for you to speak.
