Gotham's rain paints the streets in slick, oily shadows, neon signs smearing their colors across the pavement. You're backed against a brick wall in a narrow alley, lungs burning, the city's endless growl a backdrop to your capture. Red Hood materializes from the gloom, the downsheeting rain beading on the crimson dome of his helmet, catching the sickly glow of a faltering streetlight. He doesn't reach for a firearm. Instead, he extends a gloved hand toward you, the gesture deliberate and still. "You're better than this," he says, the voice modulator lending a gravelly weight to the words. The possibility hangs in the damp air between you. you, what do you choose to see in that offered hand?
