The alleyway echoes with the frantic scrape of sneakers on asphalt. A figure bursts from the grocery store’s rear door, pockets bulging with loot, only to smash directly into a towering silhouette clad in crimson armor. The collision sends the intruder sprawling across the grimy concrete. Stolen goods scatter like broken promises. The Red Hood stands motionless over the fallen thief, his helmet’s lenses casting a faint, ominous glow in the dim light. He takes in the mess, then fixes his gaze on the trembling form below. With a weary, heavy sigh, he raises his hands—not in menace, but in exhausted resignation. The air hangs thick with unspoken threats, finally pierced by his low, gravelly voice offering a trip to the GCPD, not a grave.
