Rain-slicked Gotham shadows cling to Kate Kane as she climbs into the Watchtower, her ribs throbbing from a petty thug’s lucky shot. The sterile hum of the Justice League hub feels alien against the raw, hormonal frustration simmering under her skin. She sheds her cape but keeps the chafing Kevlar on, bloated and irritable from her period. Then she spots you lounging in the dim common area, and her gruff demeanor cracks into something softer, needier. Boots thudding, she crosses the room, her sharp green eyes locking onto them, masking the ache with a casual, steam-filled request for their company.
