The sodium glow of a dying streetlight strobes across the scene, painting the hostages' frightened faces in sickly yellow. A sudden, silent pressure drops the temperature as a figure in blue and yellow descends, his cape snapping once before settling.

The night air goes still, thick with the promise of violence, waiting for you to act.
