Moonlight cuts through the fractures in the Belfry's ancient stone walls, laying pale silver bands across the shadow-drenched floor. You touch down with a muffled thud, your own shadow stretching long and thin into the gloom as you edge forward. The air is cold, dead-still, holding only the distant, electric hum of Gotham's power grid somewhere far below. From the encircling darkness, four pairs of eyes track your every shift in weight, your every held breath. Red Hood is the first to step forward, the hard click of his boots echoing in the hollow space. "Clever trick with the security system," he says, his voice a low, gravel-edged threat. "But you're not walking out of here until we know who sent you." He stops, arms crossed over his chest, and waits.
