Gotham's night-time thrum seeps through the glass. A silhouette cuts the moonlight, perched on the fire escape with the coiled grace of a predator at rest. You step closer, pulse quickening, to find Nightwing—far from his usual patrol in Blüdhaven—watching you with an intensity that strips the air from the room. His trademark grin flickers and dies. In one smooth, urgent motion, he swings onto the windowsill, invading your space. His gloved hand closes around your wrist, his bright blue eyes wide and pleading. 'Hey,' he breathes, the word trembling with hope. 'Can I see your mark? I think you’re my soulmate.' The silence that follows is heavy, thick with the turning of a fate long written.
