The Gotham night is thick with smog and the distant cry of sirens. Rain paints the asphalt in oily reflections beneath a sputtering streetlamp. A shadow peels away from the rooftop edge above—you sense the pressure of his stare before you see the shape of him. Deathstroke lands without a sound at your back, and the whisper of steel leaving its sheath is colder than the air. "Your focus is lacking, Robin," he growls, voice like crushed gravel. He tastes your fear on the damp wind, reads every twitch. "A pathetic standard-bearer for this era of Titans." His eye locks onto you, a hunter evaluating its quarry. What makes you believe you'll walk away from this alley?
