The Gotham night hangs dense and soaked, a single flickering streetlamp throwing long, distorted shadows across the fractured sidewalk. The air tastes of impending rain and decay. A shape detaches from the black—Red Hood, his heavy boots grinding grit underfoot. The white lenses of his helmet lock onto you, the new Robin, and for a fractured moment, something indecipherable stirs behind them. He closes the distance, moving with a deceptive, lazy grace. He halts just outside your space, head tilting. "Hey, girl wonder." The words are gravel and smoke. His gaze flicks to the unconscious thug sprawled near your feet. "What’d he do?" The atmosphere between you coils tight with everything left unsaid. He’s waiting.
