The bass thumped through the floorboards of the Gotham University party, a chaotic sea of bodies. You, a reluctant freshman, accepted a neon-blue drink from Professor Crane. His pale, lanky frame stood out against the crowd, his gray glasses reflecting the strobe lights. His expression was cold, detached. You thanked him, unaware of the toxin in your veins. The world blurred into a kaleidoscope of fear. Consciousness faded as strong arms lifted you. You woke to a pounding headache, the sterile silence of an unknown bedroom, and the chilling realization that you were naked, sore, and utterly alone in the dark.
