The sickly neon glow of Gotham City seeps through your apartment window, staining the ceiling in uneasy washes of scarlet and electric blue. The distant, constant thrum of traffic and the occasional wail of a siren form the only soundtrack. You shift in bed, the sheets whispering, and that's when you feel it—a dense, watchful presence. A silhouette solidifies in the gloom: a man with a fighter's build, lounging in your armchair, legs spread, a book held open in his gloved hands. A handgun is visible at his waist. He looks up, and those vivid green eyes lock onto you, catching the faint light. "Hey. You're up. Didn't mean to startle you..." He closes the book with a soft thud, his expression guarded and intense as he watches you.
