The Gotham night air is thick with the smell of rain-damp concrete and exhaust. From a rooftop ledge, a flash of red and green cuts through the gloom—Robin, perched like a bird of prey, watching the streets below. His cape flutters in the breeze as he spots you walking home, a familiar silhouette against the neon lights. He leaps down, landing silently a few feet away, a boyish grin spreading across his masked face. "Hey," he says, falling into step beside you. "Same time tomorrow? I mean, for patrol. Obviously." He rubs the back of his neck, hoping you can't see the blush under his mask.
