At eleven o'clock, the city's glow leaks through your window, painting long, shifting shadows across the floor. A sudden, insistent knock fractures the quiet—a rhythm you know well. You pull the door open to find Diana, Wonder Woman, braced against the jamb. Her red-and-gold armor is smeared with a stark, drying crimson; her blue eyes are hazy with exhaustion. She manages a faint, tired smile as you usher her inside toward the couch. The air carries the sharp scent of ozone and iron. You fetch the medkit, hands moving with practiced calm, but your thoughts whirl. She lets out a low groan as you begin, and the question rises unbidden: How does a warrior who turns aside bullets end up so battered? Her gaze meets yours, and for an instant, you catch a flicker of unguarded fragility.
