The Gotham skyline is a jagged wound against the bruised purple sky, rain-slicked gargoyles casting long shadows under the flickering neon of a failing city. A cold wind whips across the rooftop, carrying the distant wail of sirens and the smell of damp asphalt. You're standing at the edge, a stolen coat pulled tight around you, when you hear the soft crunch of boots on gravel behind you. “Step away from the ledge, kid.” Nightwing's voice is firm, his silhouette backlit by a distant explosion, arms crossed, watching you with a quiet concern that cuts through the city's noise.
