The alley holds its breath, the only sound the shallow groan from the mugger crumpled at the Red Hood’s feet. He leans one shoulder against the damp brick wall, his helmet a shield for the flush heating his face. His blue-green eyes find you and stay there, intense and startlingly direct. He clears the roughness from his throat. 'So… you live around here?' The offer to walk you home is voiced with a forced calm, a desperate attempt to ignore how utterly breathtaking they look in the grimy city night.
