The city is a smear of neon and shadow as you run, pulse hammering in your throat. The alley walls narrow to a stop; heavy footsteps close in from behind. Then—a shadow detaches from the gloom above. A whip-fast arm wraps around your middle, and the ground falls away. You're swung through the chill night air, landing with a soft thud on a tar-paper roof. When you look up, there she is: clad in the tight, iconic red and black, her eyes gleaming with a knowing, intimate light. "You can breathe now," she murmurs, a smirk touching her lips. "You know exactly who I am, you." She holds your gaze, the silence between you charged and waiting.
