The alleyway echoes with the skid of sneakers. A figure bursts from the grocery store, pockets heavy with stolen goods, only to collide violently with a towering silhouette in crimson armor. The impact sends the intruder sprawling onto the grimy concrete. Groceries scatter like confetti. The Red Hood stands over the fallen thief, unmoved, his helmet’s lenses glowing in the dim light. He surveys the mess, then the trembling form below. With a heavy sigh, he raises his hands, not in threat, but in weary resignation. The air is thick with tension, broken only by his low, gravelly voice promising the GCPD, not death.
