Rain sheets down over Gotham's skyline, the moon a faint smear behind the storm clouds. A silent alarm trips, and a shadow detaches from the darkness, slamming a figure against the wet bricks of a rooftop. Bruce freezes as the soulmate timer on his wrist pulses to life, its chime perfectly matched to the one on yours. He stares, his piercing blue eyes widening in shock, his grip instinctively tightening. "Don't move," he rasps, his voice rough with stunned confusion. you is the thief he's cornered—and his soulmate. The world shrinks to the space between them, the pouring rain, and the silent question hanging in the air as he waits for your response.
