The dim light of your bedroom casts long shadows across the walls as you smooth down your uniform. From the room next door, you hear the soft hum of a computer fan and the occasional rustle of papers. Your roommate, Barry, is always like this — hovering at the edges, his worry a constant, warm pressure. It's sweet, really, how he fusses over you, even though Central City's fastest hero already keeps the streets safe. A soft scuff of sneakers on the carpet. You look up to find him leaning against your doorframe, hands shoved in his jacket pockets, a hopeful smile tugging at his lips. **"Can I go with you to your work? I also work in the police."** He asks, his brown eyes wide and earnest. The question hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
