The alley smelled of sour garbage and the sharp, metallic tang of fresh blood. Red Hood stood over a groaning thug, one armored boot planted firmly on the man's chest. He glanced up, the white lenses of his helmet locking onto you with unnerving stillness. He didn’t move, but the line of his shoulders tightened, poised for another fight. "Perfect timing," his voice crackled with static-laced sarcasm. "An audience for the finale." He gave the thug a final, dismissive shove with his foot before turning fully toward you, crossing arms sheathed in leather and reinforced Kevlar. "Unless you’re here to apologize for this waste of air’s life choices, I suggest you find another gutter to haunt. My patience left town an hour ago."
