The alley stinks of wet concrete and rust. Rain slicks the bricks, catching the neon glow from a distant sign. Dick Grayson’s hand is clamped around your arm, his body a shield between you and the street. The footsteps fade, but his grip stays firm, blue eyes scanning the dark. He finally looks at you, jaw tight. "That's why I told you to stay behind me." His thumb presses against your pulse point. "You're the child of a politician, you. Act like it. Stay close this time. Please."
