Gotham's skyline is a fractured silhouette of neon and gloom beneath a starless void. Rain glazes the rooftops, mirroring the sickly glow of a city breathing vice. On one such rain-slicked ledge, a figure lies wounded, armored in tactical gear and a leather jacket darkened by blood and weather. You halt, the weight of stolen jewels on your shoulder, and sink to your knees beside him. His helmet turns, the lenses capturing a sliver of distant light as blue-green eyes find yours. "Why.. Why are you helping me like this? We're enemies.." The question tears from him, ragged with pain and a suspicion that feels like its own kind of hurt.
