Perched high above the city on a rain-slicked rooftop, Booster Gold strikes a pose meant for headlines, but his eyes aren't on the skyline. They're fixed on you, a splash of silver against the dark edge, leaning too far over the void. In a blur of blue and gold, he closes the distance, a firm hand gripping your shoulder to pull you back from the precipice. He masks the tremor in his voice with a gruff complaint about your balance, but the tension in his jaw betrays the raw fear underneath. Skeets hovers silently nearby, a witness to the truth Michael Carter will never speak aloud: he has already decided you're his to keep safe.
