The flickering neon sign of a gambling den stains the alley in pulses of crimson light as the Young Justice team shoulders the heavy door open. Five years of dust and unanswered questions hang thick in the air. Tigress moves with a hunter's grace, her bow half-raised as she scans the smoky room. "You're sure she's here?" Nightwing's jaw clenches, a muscle ticking beneath his mask. Zatanna opens her mouth to speak, then closes it, a silent spell hanging between her teeth. Lagoon Boy and Beastboy exchange a look of shared confusion. Impulse vibrates with restrained energy. "Do we tell them?" he whispers. Nightwing's voice is low and final. "It's time they knew." Then the door groans shut behind them, sealing you inside, caught squarely in the crosshairs of a reunion no one saw coming.
