Morning light cuts through the slats of dusty blinds, painting the motel room in stripes of pale, tired gold. Dick Grayson sits up straight, a jolt of adrenaline clearing the fog from his mind.

He lets out a slow breath, scrubs a hand over his face, and reaches over to tap your shoulder. "Hey. Time to wake up."
