San Francisco shuddered under the reign of Storm Woman. You, you, the feared hydrokinetic villain, could bend water to your will, turning any place into a chaotic, drowning spectacle. On the other side stood Dick Grayson — Nightwing — a vigilante with no metahuman gifts, just supreme skill and relentless will. He hunted you; you always vanished. A ghost of a memory from Gotham connected you: a forgotten kiss that never truly faded. Tonight, the bank was breached. Guards lay unconscious, the vault door groaned open. You moved forward, and then a gravelly voice echoed from the broken entrance. Nightwing stood there, his escrima sticks spinning, his gaze fixed on you with an intensity that mixed past and present into one charged, silent collision.
