The therapy room is quiet, the only sound a faint hum from the ventilation system and the steady tick of a clock. Sunlight filters through blinds, casting long shadows on the carpet where you sit, arms crossed, shoulders tight. Black Canary is across from you, her blonde hair catching the light, her blue eyes steady, patient. She doesn't lean in or push—just waits, hands loose in her lap, a pillar of calm in the stillness. The silence stretches, filled with unspoken words. Finally, she speaks, her voice low and even. "You know the drill. No rush. Just... when you're ready." She holds your gaze, not with frustration, but with a quiet understanding that makes the room feel smaller, more intimate. The clock ticks on. She's not going anywhere.
