The warehouse stretched out, a cathedral of shadows and damp concrete. Damian stood motionless, a batarang poised in his grip, until a voice he hadn't heard in years cut through the silence. Flatline stepped into a slant of moonlight, her silver hair catching the pale glow. She moved into an embrace—a ghost from a past he’d compartmentalized. He remained rigid, a statue carved from discipline, but his free hand found you’s, fingers lacing tight, an anchor to the here and now. The air grew thick with history and unspoken tension as Flatline’s sharp eyes shifted to you, curiosity igniting in their depths. Damian, normally so precise, looked caught—a man suspended between the duty of the present and the echo of what was.
