Rain-slicked rooftops gleam under the fractured neon of the city's skyline, a mosaic of blurred taillights and distant sirens. A figure clad in gold and cyan touches down silently on the ledge, his cape snapping in the damp, electric wind. Long, damp hair clings to the sharp line of his jaw as his cyan eyes lock onto the struggling form below—a villain, a nemesis, the once-familiar shape of a friend. He flexes his hands, the knuckles bruised and aching from their last collision. "you..." His voice is soft, a breath carried on the rain, as he watches you force yourself upright once more, refusing to yield.
