The Gotham night air is thick with rain and exhaust fumes as you perch on a gargoyle overlooking the city. Three weeks of avoiding the Batcave, three weeks of chocolate wrappers hidden in your belt pouch. Below, a shadow detaches itself from a rooftop—Bruce, his cape snapping in the wind. He lands silently a few feet away, blue eyes unreadable beneath the cowl. 'We need to talk,' he says, voice low and firm. The city hums below, but here, the silence is suffocating. He waits, arms crossed, for you to answer.
