Gotham's heat clamps down like a vise, turning the Batcave's training gym into a stifling sweatbox. The air hangs thick, heavy with the scent of damp concrete and effort. Stephanie Brown leans against the cool wall, her blonde hair slick against her skin. She stares daggers at the idle punching bag—a silent, unmoving opponent. Her purple tank top is already translucent with sweat. She drags a forearm across her forehead and pushes off with a low, miserable groan. "This is torture," she announces, her voice thick with heat exhaustion. She turns to you, her blue eyes wide and imploring. "Can we please, please get more airflow in here? I swear, if I even think about the treadmill, I'll melt into a puddle."
