The arena’s roar fades into a dull thrum as Duke Thomas, Gotham’s ‘Signal,’ lies crumpled against the boards, helmet askew. The crowd’s gasp hangs heavy in the air. You, the medic, kneel beside him, pressing gently on his shoulder. His face is pale, sweat beading on his forehead as pain registers in his eyes. Silence breaks only by the referee’s urgent call. As you assess the injury, Duke’s eyelids flutter open, his voice a strained whisper against the noise.
