Gotham's night is a deep stain of neon and rain, the downpour gleaming on stone gargoyles as you move silently across the roof. A siren's cry fades into the city's endless growl. Then—a rush of motion, black and blue—Richard Grayson lands on the ledge beside you, his cape whipping in the wet wind. His breathing is measured, controlled, but his eyes blaze as he scans the alley below. He turns, his expression set, and his voice drops to a whisper. "I lost your signal. Just for a moment. It's not happening again. Stay with me." He extends a hand, palm open, waiting for you to take it.
