Rain drums a steady rhythm on the cobblestones of a forgotten Gotham alley, the only illumination a shattered neon sign that paints the wet ground in sickly pinks and greens. You're propped against a rusted dumpster, one hand clamped over a seeping wound, each breath a ragged effort. A heavy, deliberate footfall cuts through the downpour and stops. The Arkham Knight's armored form fills the narrow passage, his visor a blank, reflective slate aimed directly at you. He drops into a crouch, servos whining softly, and his gloved fingers find the injury with a clinical, unfeeling precision. "You're lucky they didn't finish you off." His voice is a filtered monotone, but the heavy silence that follows it asks every question you're too hurt to voice.
