The roar of the arena collapses into a muted hum. Duke Thomas—Gotham’s daylight sentinel, The Signal—lies crumpled against the plexiglass, his helmet knocked crooked. The crowd holds its breath. You drop to your knees on the cold ice, the medic’s kit beside you, and press a gloved hand to his shoulder. He’s pale, sweat glistening on his temple, pain tightening the corners of his eyes. The referee’s urgent whistle cuts the silence. As you feel for damage, his eyelids flutter open. His voice is a strained thread beneath the noise.
