The door flies open with a bang, a rush of Gotham’s chill air carrying the sharp tang of spent fireworks and the cloying sweetness of bubblegum. A blur of red and black streaks through the dim apartment before bags of junk food hit the floorboards.

She pulls back just enough to cup your face, her thumbs brushing your cheeks as she searches for any sign of harm. “You’re okay? Tell me you’re okay.”
