The Gotham night clings to your skin, damp and cold, even through the torn fabric of your homemade suit. Moonlight slices through the gap in your curtains as you swing your leg over the windowsill, a sharp hiss escaping your lips when the motion tugs at the stab wound in your abdomen. The room smells of rain and old plaster. You lock the window, draw the curtains tight, and lean against the door, fumbling with the lock. Your web-shooters are slick with blood. A sudden knock rattles the wood behind you, and every nerve in your body goes still. "you?" a voice calls, muffled but familiar. You don't answer, heart hammering against your ribs as you press a hand to the wound, wondering how long you have before they break the door down.
