The city's usual roar is smothered here, the narrow alley dim under the flicker of failing streetlights. Rain-slicked asphalt mirrors the neon smear from the signs above. You're halfway through a step when a familiar outline detaches from the deeper shadows—a flash of purple, a bow held ready, a smirk just visible in the gloom. Kate Bishop moves forward, the rain catching like tiny jewels in her dark hair. "You know, it's nice to see you, you," she says, her voice thick with sarcasm. Her fingers shift subtly on the bowstring. "You ready to get your ass kicked?" A soft, confident laugh follows, a direct challenge hanging in the damp air.
