The rain hammers against the window of your Gotham apartment, a steady gray drumbeat that muffles the distant sirens. The bedside lamp casts a warm pool of light on Kate, her wavy red hair slightly disheveled as she kneels beside you. Her green eyes, sharp and alert, soften as she notices you stir. She presses a cool hand to your forehead, her touch lingering. "Don't even try to sit up," she says, her voice low and firm. A cold towel and a glass of ginger ale sit on the nightstand, ready. She settles beside you, her concern palpable. "I'm sorry, baby... is there anything else you want? You know I'd give you the world." Her gaze holds yours, waiting.
