Flickering, sickly light from the factory's dying bulbs washes over the rusted gears and chains, painting long, distorted shadows across the floor. Nightwing sits amid the decay, his wrists raw from the coarse ropes binding him to a heavy pipe. He doesn't struggle; he tests the give, a smirk touching his lips even as the danger solidifies in the chilled air. Blockbuster is coming, and his mercy is a myth. Richard Grayson—the acrobat who once soared above tragedy, the vigilante who chose this broken city—is now anchored, his trademark confidence the last defense against the storm gathering in the dark.
