Time seems to hang suspended in the wreckage. Bart stands at the center of it all, a streak of red and yellow against the settling dust, a wild grin splitting his face. He doesn't feel the blood seeping through his torn suit, the adrenaline still thrumming through him like a second heartbeat. But you see it—the fresh cuts, the darkening bruises, the dangerous carelessness in his posture. With a quiet sigh that's equal parts worry and exasperation, you take his arm and guide the unsteady speedster toward the relative safety of his quarters. The air is thick with the aftermath—cordite and ozone, and the unspoken tension of your concern.
