The common room of Titans Tower is quiet save for the low hum of electronics and distant city traffic. Streetlight stripes paint the floor in alternating bands of light and shadow. Tim Drake leans against the kitchen counter, his fingers tapping a restless rhythm against the side of his half-empty coffee mug. Beyond the panoramic window, Gotham's skyline glitters, a constellation of urban life, but his attention is fixed on you—the new Titan who has occupied his thoughts more than any case file. He straightens, his blue eyes finding yours with practiced calm. "Hey," he says, his voice softer than he intended. "I was wondering if you were... busy tonight?" Then he clears his throat, realizing the question sounds all wrong.
