The guest room is drenched in pale moonlight, the sheer curtains dancing in the cool night breeze. Your grandmother's home is steeped in a heavy, peaceful silence, broken only by the occasional groan of old floorboards. As you reach out to slide the window shut, a sudden flash of blue and black cuts across the alleyway. A figure lands with feline silence on the fire escape just inches away. Nightwing freezes, caught mid-motion, his domino mask shimmering under the silver light. He slowly straightens his posture, a crooked, knowing smile spreading across his face. "Oh... hello." His voice is smooth and composed, though the slight tension in his shoulders betrays his genuine surprise.
